And 14th in the B&F. Goals are great, but it is important to consider how those goals are created, which I think the club has done when giving a player who kicked 62 goals a position of 14th.
Forwards rarely win the brownlow, game winners do

Jenkins will never win the Brownlow but if 60+ goals a season creates game winners then I'll accept a 14th in a B&F every day of the week

Ok 2 things i do not understand:
Carlton having a cry over Gibbs when we have helped them out in the past taking players they did not want like Betts and Jacobs.
St kilda swaping a pick 10 with Hawthorne so they can get another gun in their side, They just won 3 flags and didnt make Granny so help em out next year.

You're asking the wrong question

A much better question is how the **** does a guy who kicks 62 goals get so publicly disrespected by the coaching panel

62 & 14th is the question not the answer

Hasn't been injury hit for a few seasons now. His best is A+ but he does tend to skirt around and not put him

All the talent in the world
Just checked. How about that. He only played 15 games this year, but played 22 games in 2013-15. So this was the first year in the last 4 that he missed a significant number of games (missed 3 games in the 2014 season, played every game in 2013 and 2015).

IMO he wins his goals by being a unit not just on talent, his ruck skills are below average and dropped off in the second half

I don't disagree with you but I think these are factors

Never the less, we had two 60+ goal kickers this season- Jenkins is a required player
(don't mess with the chemistry)

So what are everyones thoughts about Rocky? Seems like no one is interested and Brisbane are keen to off load him.

No doubt, the guy can play football. But he does come at a price, and its not just the mega bucks he is demanding (800k a year). His off-field behaviour, issues with team mates etc. He also plays very much like a inside contested ball winner (something we have in spades with Sloane, Crouch bros and Thommo).

If the Gibbs deal falls through, I may change my position, but at this stage I'm not really sold.

I'd do rockstar in a heartbeat. Can we do both?

I would be shocked if he is in Hawthorn colours next season. Seems to be a bit of bad blood between the club and Lewis. Hawks might have just pissed down the drain most of the reputation they have built in the last decade or so.

I wouldn't be surprise if a club puts forward a last hour trade that forces Brisbane to make a quick trade call
