How much would you pay Josh Jenkins?

[Bob Neil]

So the big man if off contract at the end of the season...he's a proven goal-kicker now and plays the key forward role that is traditionally valued highly in the trade market...and if the talk is correct he's being head-hunted by other clubs.

So the big question is what would you pay JJ for his next contract to keep him at the Crows?

Fire away!

 

[Sanguinarius]

Has to be at least $400K surely

Given Mackay gets 400k JJ is worth $550. Another club will offer him more.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Probably around $450K pa for 3 years.

Keep in mind that the salary cap is usually going up by a fair rate.

 

[Red mist]

Everything appreciates. Probably 450-500. With a trigger clause. Say two yrs with an option for the third.

More than that I'd think. Anything north of $500k pa and I'd start to think twice about it.

Unfortunately there will always be a club willing to put that $700k pa plus offer on the table and we have to just hope that it's not only a $ decision but also he is happ with where he's at, where the club is headed etc.

That is why I'm encouraged by Pyke's attitude that work needs to be enjoyable, and he wants the guys to look forward to coming to the club and enjoy their time there. If you can create that sort of environment then hopefully these other aspects help sway the decisions on some of the players.

You will always have the Kurt$ of this world where it's only about the $. Hopefully we screen these guys out before recruiting them.

How much would I pay him? I'd probably be able to do $1000 a year, I really don't earn enough or could possibly justify any more than that given my situation.

 

[huludicidal]

475k per season for 3 years would be my initial offer.

If another club offers him significantly more (eg 550-600k), i'd go as high as 525k per season but I'm not comfortable going higher than that because he's not versatile enough (can't play in defence or ruck).

Anyone thinking we can retain him for 400k needs to realise that big forwards carry a premium.

 

[Jinglebells32]

I'd go 3 years at $500K with a trigger for a 4th.

 

[1970crow]

Given Mackay gets 400k JJ is worth $550. Another club will offer him more.

If Mackay is $400k then JJ is about $750k, but I've said before that we'd need a $20m cap if we benchmarked everyone against Mackay's purported salary. I'd guess JJ's worth about $500k.

 

[Kickin_Goals]

I don't think I could afford him, not after a male escort anyway.

 

[Scorpus]

I'd go 3 years at $500K with a trigger for a 4th.

I'd be thinking around this as well. Possibly final years at 600-650k due to TV rights-related cap increase

 

[Smoooothy]

5 year $2.5 million should get it done

 

[Squiba]

I'd go 3 years at $500K with a trigger for a 4th.

Yeah I agree, the trigger being dependant on his goal count in the third year.

It will cost us waaaayyy more to replace him than to hold onto him.

 

[mattymac]

Other clubs will offer him a touch more, but we should be go up to 500k imo. It would take a fair premium on top of that to make moving worth his while, so 500k should price him out of the market remembering he's only got a couple of years of service left in him.

 

[FantasticShirt]

~550ish for 3 years with option for 4th. Can see him getting offers of 600 or more though

 

[spexau]

 

[MRB37]

According to previous reports, JJ and the Crows are settled on the $, which is about 450K per, but JJ wants 4 years and we're only prepared to offer 3.

Beat me to it.

Seriously, I reckon the 550-600k range is probably a fair price.

But but but, Joe the Goose! Anybody can stand in the goal square and get on the end of handballs!

 

[hey shorty]

According to previous reports, JJ and the Crows are settled on the $, which is about 450K per, but JJ wants 4 years and we're only prepared to offer 3.

I'd stay with 3 but have smallish triggers for the 4th.

 

[Rotayjay]

He's improved a lot over the last 12 months. Give JJ what it takes to keep him here, as long as it's under $600,000. Key position depth is still a weakness for us.

Double whatever Tom Boyd's getting

 

[splat868]

500k per year on a 3 year contract is good value for both.

Based on some previous years trades, he may be able to push for a little more elsewhere, but at the expense of leaving the club, and the state, I dont think it would be worth him leaving.

500k PA for JJ is a fair compromise for both parties.
