Delisted 11. Josh Jenkins (2020 - 2021)

[Spazz Cat]

I understand its actually 2 years...Adelaide paying half his salary + in both years.

Cheers

 

[OzeSparky]

^ I go along with this. I can't figure where he will fit. I thought our future was Tom @ CHF, Air Sav @ FF and GAZ, Rohan, Myers, and Dal making up the forward 6.

Blicavs on one wing
Jenkins on the other

 

[Pollywaffle]

He averages 2 goals a game for the past five seasons in a row. How does that make him not quite a forward?

Recent averages? Not so good
Has been worked out.
Not sure if he has taken an overhead mark for several years. There is a reason he languished in the twos.
Maybe a new environment will energise the guy, but dont expect too much.
Some potential I guess...

 

[Duskfire]

People realise we don’t have to play him every game right? We got him for nothing. Hawkins is bound to whack or jumper punch or look at an umpire wrongly a couple of times next season and get suspended, I am sure Jenkins will get a game.

We have been lacking depth in our forward line for years. We finally have it! We replaced Hawkins with Henderson for ffs.

 

[Reppie]

Bit harsh bagging the guy before he's played a game.
Go Jerka.

 

[Baudolino]

Good trade. Low cost, potentially high reward move that addresses a long-term area of weakness (KPF depth). I don't think it hurts the development of Krueger or Sav either; if anything, it gives us more flexibility with our options. Sav will just ruck more methinks if Jenkins is in the team. And I'm fine with that as Sav's more a ruck-forward than a full-time KPF imo.

We need more goalkickers anyway and Jenkins provides that.

Nonsense... Most of us have been bagging him for years

 

[Jeff76]

He’d almost be your best ruck

Yeah right that’s why the Crows wanted him gone so bad, I honestly don’t even know a name of any Crows ruckman.

Crows wanted him gone for attitude reasons or something a long those lines, not because he is a terrible player. Similar to Stringer really, as far as I can tell.

Been bagging him for years mate

Literally averaged 2 goals a game this year.

 

[Reppie]

Tough crowd.
If kicks his forty odd i won't be complaining.

lol. Okay then. JJ is up there with Ratogolea or whatever his name is. I didn’t want him gone. 50 goal forwards who can ruck don’t grow on trees.

 

[darren forssman]

Been bagging him for years mate

I have been laughing at him burning team mates in better positions for years, now not so funny.

 

[Duskfire]

Us Geelong supporters: why did we replace Hawkins with Henderson for the final. WTF!!!!

Geelong: lets recruit an experienced forward for cheap in case there is an injury or suspension

Us Geelong supporters: WTF why did Geelong waste nothing on Jenkins?? WTF where’s that Chris Scott thread.

 

[Turbocat]

Classic moneyball .. hard hurts us to bring him in and he may be useful. Not my first choice but lets wells be wells


welcome to geelong JoJe

 

[STPer18]

The big Jerka Jenkins has landed.

 

[Jeff76]

Dude Rat is a kid and JJ is an old flog, you can’t compare. If he’s so good why did he play so many SANFL games?

He averaged 2 goals a game in 2019 and did so in every season from 2014 to 2019.

 

[Jimmy Willis Jawline]

I'm super happy. Seems a player that divides supporters, but I always back my own in.
Tonight, Jenkins is one of my own.

Go get it mate.

He averaged 2 goals a game this year. What is more recent?

 

[hamG]

Where's he going to play? 3 prong forward line?

He's a 200cm proven forward .... so we'll put him on the wing with Blics

 

[KennyP#42]

You have no idea how much I hope the cats get the best out of Jenkins, even an above average return... knowing the crows are paying for him to kick goals at the cats would be so sweet to watch!

 

[Moley Russels Wart]

Can someone explain to me why we paid pick 57 for a 30yo multiple best and fairest winner but then 37 for a 30yo who couldnt get picked in a team that finished 13th?

Be pissed off if I was St Kilda

Be pi**ed off if I was St Kilda

Because we received a future second rounder that in reality means we payed nothing for Jenkins.
