No need for personal attacks Captain. 14th if adjusted by # of games played, so technically correct. However, I think JJ's work rate is far higher than a McGovern or a Tex, or they would have been the ones kicking the goals. Players kicked with confidence to that spot knowing full well that JJ would get there before anyone else.
No there is a need for it. It's got to the point where I'm completely over the constant degrading of a player who, without a background in the game, has pushed himself and bettered himself to become one of the leading forwards in the game. 62 goals, 5th in the competition, more than Jeremy Cameron, Jack Reiwoldt ,Tom Hawkins and Tex, and we have these ignorant, pea-hearted, deadbeats that have no right to call themselves supporters, that think it's funny to belittle him. Pathetic doesn't even begin to describe them.

And who adjusts B&Fs to games played? Honestly. It's embarrassing.

I'm with you Cap, its not like fast, athletic 199cm 2nd ruck options/62 goal forward pockets grow on tree's. I think if we put him up for trade we would have 17 other teams on the phone absolutely dumbfounded as to why we would develop him to this level and then move him on... Height of stupidity!

I don't disagree with your stance... I just disagree with how you put it across. Hint: Calling someone a moron is not a way to get them to listen to your viewpoint, let alone consider it. ;)

Sheahan really is an embarrassment. How must his career be going to stoop to that level. Clearly a lot of that is based on questionable at best intel. Maybe no intel at all.

"no intel at all" is a good way to describe Tony Sheahan.

Much been said about Otten?

Obviously doesn't hold much trade weight but would surely be a better chance to play AFL footy somewhere outside of the Crows.

Terry Wallace to list manage Adelaide in around 3.20 Adelaide time on Trade radio.
"They have a really good forward line, a young developing backline that probably needs some more consistency, but their midfield isn't good enough since Dangerfield left and they really need to bring in someone like Gibbs, and a bit more speed through the middle, they're well coach and gee they draft/develop players well, did you know that Rory Laird and Charlie Cameron were rookie picks?"

There. Now you don't need to listen.

Would you rather he get 62 goals and finish 14th or kick 30 and finish 8th?
Well he didn't make those goals happen the team did so someone else would have kicked them, so it really doesn't matter from a team perspective if he kicks 62 or if he kicks 30. Now if he kicked 30 and finished 8th he would be doing something else of value. From my count at least 29 of his goals don't really matter to the outcomes of games in 2016, so 29 junk time goals don't really give us much, I'd much rather Jenkins perform better at the contest, perform better in the ruck and be more value to the team rather than kicking joe the goose goals that don't exist in finals, and don't exist under pressure. Then maybe we can have a player than performs when it matters.
