Considering he's only played 5 games this year, not at all

Luke jackson. Not sure i would want to use our future 1st in any trade to snare a player this year as our future 1st could be a top 6 pick
I think they'd try for a 2 for 1 pick, so a swap of future firsts and a pick this year. Trying to capitalise on teams thinking our future first will be a top 4 pick.
They'd probably be right though...

The biggest issue will be someone willing to take his money on unless you gave him away for nothing.
We have a very aging Tex Walker, an aging Lynch and aging Betts. BUT we do have cement hands Himmelberg who everyone seems to love overlooking the fact he is a horrendous contested mark (he won't be his brother) FOG and then a list of midsized forwards.
I for one don't want us trading a 40+ goal forward for an unknown....but that's just me

And Jenkins will be an "aging" 31 year old forward in 2020....

I'd be happy if he moved on and was payed his worth as well as being given games he deserves.
Poor buggar has more to whinge about then anyone on our list IMO. Still stays loyal. Yet another product of our B.S selection policies.

Just have to direct Himmelberg to consider the goal square his playgroung and play 10m behind any opponent backman and I'm sure he could one day cover the loss, cement hands and all.
Why is contested marking even being discussed in all this? You are talking Jenkins yeah?
Ok
Show me games of Berg taking contested marks under pressure and I will show you the some of Jenkins. I'm confident that I would have more examples

We should grab Matty Allen as a DFA

Should go the Alex Carey route!
Who is he?
Golumless
A bigger deal out west.
Gets himself fitter (which i'm confident he'll do), and the hands will fix themselves. At the start of his bursts in the seniors, he clunking them (first quarter against Geelong for a good example), loses it the moment he tires.
I'd much rather the unknown right now. Playing Jenkins only sets us back now seeing this core is done. Would be a very Adelaide move to keep Jenkins though then face reality.
Though, i'm worried about your maths skills is the you think Tex is aging faster then Betts
Oh I'd be confident too, Jenkins has played more than 100 games.
It'd be a very big indictment on how s**t someone is at contested marking if someone with 6 games has more of them then you.

Probably not, but it's worth a shot with DFA, especially in our current situation.
Might blossom into a CEY styled player with a better kick, and able to effectively play forward in a new environment (going off the west coast board description of him), might be off a list in 2 seasons without firing a shot. Bit like Stengle in that the price is so low that there isn't much risk in finding out if we can extract something out of him.

Sure you would.
Just show me a seasons worth, and how many of his(Jenkins) 40+ goals that year came as a result.
Berge has a huge advantage over JJ in that his momentum is more often than not forward thrusting.
This enables him the ability to play as an actual Key position forward, which in turn brings guys like JJ into the game.
Dont need sticky hands to cover JJs position.
I reckon I've seen Berg crash as many packs in his handful of games than I have Josh over his whole career.
The "unknown" may or may not work out. But what we do know for sure is that Jenkins is as likely to contribute to the next AFC premiership as James Sellar.
Makes for an easy decision.
Great he crashes packs, he just can't catch the f'en ball. I love forwards like that!!!
A forward who can actually mark is worth 10x a forwards who presents well and works hard but can't.
He has kicked 40+ goals by fluke has he? There are so many on here that bag JJ, and he has plenty of faults, but name the forward/rucks in the league that are better than him. It's not a long list!!
