More goals than Travis Cloke
Here's an interesting list. Goals by second tall forwards in the last year:
  • ADEL: Jenkins - 40 (20 games, 2.0 per game)
  • CARL: Waite - 29 (16, 1.81)
  • COLL: White - 20 (18, 1.11)
  • ESS: Carlisle - 27 (19, 1.42)
  • GCFC: Dixon - 24 (14, 1.71)
  • GWS: Patton - 25 (19, 1.32)
  • HAW: Gunston - 58 (23, 2.52)
  • NM: Black - 26 (25, 1.04)
  • PORT: Westhoff - 29 (25, 1.16)
  • RICH: Vickery - 23 (12, 1.92)
  • SYD: Tippett - 34 (14, 2.43)
  • WCE: Darling - 39 (22, 1.77)
Jenkins is behind only Gunston and Tippett in this list in goals and goals per game.

Jenkins also kicked 27 of his goals after Walker returned last year in round 9, at a rate of 1.8 goals per game. Before Walker returned, Jenkins kicked 13 goals at 2.6 goals per game.

So you don't think that 40 goals from a player is a good achievement at all? Even from a 50 gamer?
I think he's a seagull who costs as many goals as he scores with his poor positioning, no pressure and matador approach to letting guys run off him. He's the classic only one way player, and I don't reckon too many opposition coaches would care if snuck a couple a game. Not the way he slinks off getting cheapies behind the pack.

I think the 50 game thing is dumb. He's 26 ******* years old. He's closer to the end of his career than the start. It's dumb to talk about how few games he's played in that context because you're implying he's going to get a whole lot better.

He isn't. At that age he's approaching who he is.

Argue that you think who he is is just great all you want, but spare me the 50 game rubbish :)

Kerridge + pick 14 (dangerfield compo)

Gibbs + Carlton second round pick
If that pick 14 eventuates there is no way I'd have it on the table if Darcy Tucker is available in that range in next year's draft, already as good as Gibbs skills wise and IMO a better prospect than Brad Crouch was at a similar stage of development. This kid is very special.

If he's that good, why would he last until pick 14?

Lachie Henderson has put off talks......massive chance crows would be trying to put some $$ to use

He would actually be stupid not to come to us
We are due for another good blues player ;)

They can have harps &/or smarty in return...

Blues now talking a rebuild, so you would think they would be looking to trade players foe picks.

Henderson wouldn't come cheap though.
