The great man is simply relentless. Sleep when he’s dead

 

[drover]

He definitely gets around.
Was on flight to the States Thursday!

A couple of weeks back he was seen on a flight to Adelaide. Rumour was it was to meet with either Jenkins / Yolmen’s management. Wouldn’t be surprised if it was a meeting with Greenwood’s manager either. The dude is always way ahead of everyone else when it comes to theses things.

A friend of a friend says that Jenkins is of interest.

If only he were a few years younger he would be a good Hale replacement.

I've bitten my tongue on the Jenkins chatter but I reckon we could make something great.

If you've got Mitch Lewis/resting ruckman up froward then Jenkins just becomes a pain in the arse to match up on.
He's got some tricks. Is inconsistent. But we could make good use of him I reckon.

 

[Back Pocket Rocket]

A big hell no for Jenkins. Only plays well when the crows are winning and is a built like tarzan plays like jane type operator.

 

[eldorado]

If we're looking for a big tree-trunk/lug nut type, I'll happily go with the Patton talk ahead of Jenkins...

 

[HODGEYROAD]

* if we get a 31 year old Jenkins on 600k I'll concede the club has lost it's way.

I'm coming around too mate. Was excellent last night.

Adelaide will be praying that's the line of thinking from our list management team also.

 

[Steven Tyler]

Wow

Jenkins, Greenwood, Ellis Yeolman.....

Crows must be thinking it’s Christmas

They'll have no spuds left to go with the Christmas lunch.

He is a FA. So it might come down to what and how, but I agree, the bloke does not instill confidence in “hardness”

Jenkins on a 500k x 2 year deal. If the 2nd year is a team option that wouldn’t be bad value at all. He would buy us some time on finding a KPF.

I'm of the understanding Jenkins is contracted beyond this season ? I'm certain he signed a deal until the end of 2021 when he was in good form and Brisbane wanted him the last time he came out of contract.

 

[Topiary]

Apologies. I thought he was a FA.

 

[MrPremiership]

Hasn't he played a total of 4 games and undergone 2-3 knee reconstructions?

No, he hasn't

Hailebury boy who's best mates with Jackson Ross.....

 

[OnceKicked50]

Jenkins personally doesn't really fit our list given his age. That said, he is one of probably less than ten blokes who have kicked over forty goals a year in the previous five seasons. Hardly a bloody spud.

 

[Bugs1977]

Wow

Jenkins, Greenwood, Ellis Yeolman.....

All this talk cam about due to Clarko being seen on a flight to Adelaide and has managed to grow legs that we are now signing all 3 of them. Even if he was meeting with there managers it doesn’t definitely mean we’ll be signing them. This place is bloody ridiculous sometimes with how things can take off

 

[MrPremiership]

I'm actually warming to Jenkins

I hate myself

 

[Topiary]

Wow

I am assuming you would not be thinking these options, and they would be pure options at this stage, we’re not the only additions to the List.

The integrity and grit of Greenwood appeals.

Big fan of Greenwood. His absences at Adelaide are intriguing

 

[eldorado]

No, he hasn't

Hailebury boy who's best mates with Jackson Ross.....

I think he actually has done 2 ACLs, both before the age of 18, IIRC

Because things were so quiet up until a week ago (re Greenwood) that is who I think Clarko has his eye on. When everyone is looking at someone you just know Clarko has his eye on someone else. Greenwood definitely fills a need but I really hope that we are in the market for Brodie too. That kid could be apart of our next premiership whereas others like Jenkins would just be keeping the bed warm.
