Hawthorn’s 2019 Trade/FA - Targets/Incoming players discussion only

Does yesterday make the giants re-evaluate their priority players to keep i.e. whitfield was sorely missed and showed that he may be more important than cogs/kelly individually

I don't think so. Coniglio apparently playing with a hand injury last few weeks which has effected his output. Had he been out and Whitfield been playing through his corky injury instead then the result could have just as easily been the same.

They'll still be putting 100% effort into keeping both.

as far as im concerned a dislocated pinkie is a pretty weak excuse for bad form

Someone mentioned last week that things are never as good or as bad as they seem and I think it's important to remember that GWS were far from their best yesterday. Kelly (Adductor), Cogs (dislocated pinkie) and Davis aren't 100% and one could argue that Whitfield has been their best player yesterday. They were also missing Mumford, Kennedy and Corr. It shouldn't take anything away from our victory yesterday but it is highly important to remember those things and yes we had some huge outs too but I think we should just bag the win and move on.

Answering your question about GWS re-evaluating who their priority players I don't think one disappointing loss would change any of their think whatsoever but the important thing IMO is it confirms to Coniglio that we have plenty of upside and the best coach in the business. I reckon Whitfield would've been sitting at home too going screw Leon Cameron I wanna play for Clarko. It sucked that we only had 14k fans turn up to the G but that would've felt like a sell out to the GWS players

Maybe so, but his strength comes from his clean, one-touch skills and so any sort of injury like that affects his ability to handle the ball cleanly is going to have an impact on his performance.

Also consider he might have been experiencing a severe case of butterflies playing so close to O'Meara all day.

Agreed, have a week off or just cut the finger off and get on with playing like Chick did.

Blergh

Ty Vickery II

Well, he's better than that, but geez.

Facebook Hawks fan page today saying Jenkins is done.

Not exactly. It reads like speculative Facebook rubbish.

“JOSH JENKINS TO HAWKS?!?

I have some form on inside intel that says Adelaide’s Josh Jenkins will be a Hawk in 2020.

Josh Jenkins is visibly unhappy with his role (currently can’t fit in their AFL side) and is exploring further options, there’s no secret that this may be Roughy’s last year, and we’ve spent time looking at numerous alternatives.

However, I’m hearing Jenkins is our man.“

 

[Hodginator]

Sounds like it came from here, got a mention on FB and now back here being used a source of trade news.

100% agree

Jenkins is done


Time to retire

Steve Tyler beat me to the tag.

I'm slipping

Patton and Jenkins isn't happening, so this is fake news, only room for one lumbering forward option.

 

[Cyzzametimbres]

Jenkins will be 31 start of season next year, can’t see him being a part of our plans at all. That and he’s soft as butter.

31, on a massive salary, contracted and also a cat, yeah this isn't happening.

Jenkins only makes sense as a mature KPF depth player. Just like Mohr is/was for KPD.

 

[TheExtractorFactor]

Box Hill will probably be needing a Roughead replacement so makes sense.

 

[Roger Rogerson]

What is he like as a ruck?

 

[derp de derp]

So Jenkins at 550k until the end of 2022.

Sign him up now

Only makes sense if Adelaide give us their first pick and Jenkins.
We throw them back a 5th rounder just to even up the deal

Jenkins.....no thanks

 

[bumsonseats]

He can’t even spell it

 

[The Jet From Poowong]

Jenkins is THE definition of a tall front running squib. There is little value in bringing him to the club. If we are looking for tall forwards, we need them to be able to get to a contest, and also raise their arms above their head to try and take an overhead mark. Neither of which you can associate with Jenkins

 

[MrPremiership]

Karl Amon was done last year too wasn't it?

So what number is Josh getting next year?

 

[spudmaster]

Would rather re-draft Vickery...
