Just going on current rules people are using to judge JJ, The Coaches seem to believe he won his position and he was involved in score assist.
Last time I brought up Stats I was told the Coaches vote was more important, Now you bring up stats, which way would you like to go what the Coaches want or the stats. then I will attempt to answer your original question again using your parameters.
Look to be honest, I'm not here to pick fights with individuals, im just stating the facts. (I also never mentioned anything about coahces votes? you may have me confused with someone else).
Jenkins kicks goals, there's no doubt about it. But my biggest gripe is that over the past 2 seasons, that's all he's done and nothing else.
And you may think I'm crazy for criticising him at the end of the day, it's only the scoreboard that matters. If everyone plays their role, then we all go home happy.
However, our defensive forward 50 pressure is lacking and we struggle to take contested grabs. Tex is getting double teamed and we need another forward to kick to and have none (thank christ for the emergence of Gov). Yet here we have a 200cm athletic key forward, who has taken our list manager to the cleaners and being paid a hefty sum, to play like freakin small forward.
And then the bigger problem, is that when we play those hotly contested finals/big games where it's so scrappy and there's minimal space, it pretty much renders Jenkins useless. He doesn't get involved around the ground and doesn't do a whole lot that brings his team mates around him into the game, where as someone like Tex does. He won't always get on the scoresheet, but he will bring players into the game for the same end result.
If this was the Jenkins of old, when he first broke onto the scene for the Crows and he was physical, he was busting his gut chasing people, he was bursting away from players, when he was actually getting involved, then I wouldnt have a problem.
But now he just sits out the back and waits for all our good work to fall into his lap and then register something on the scoresheet, and he gets paid a pretty penny to do so. He literally does nothing else.
If that's going to be the case and he's going to continue to stink it up in games that actually matter, then Id rather drop him and play Mcgovern at FF and an extra running midfielder, or we drop him for someone like Keath, who has actually hunger and desire and aggression.
