No thanks, cost a fair bit for a HBF

Averaging 11.5 disposals per game.

One of the Crouch’s for me. Plenty of clubs would give up a first plus some.
Jenkins won’t get much unless the Crows pay his wage and they won’t part with Sloan or Tex IMO.
Fogarty would attract something very good but I wouldn’t be letting him go

I wouldn't give you a 1st rounder for Matt Crouch. Can't kick over a jam tin and for an inside mid doesn't win as many contested possessions as he should. I don't think opposition sides are worried about him tearing them to bits.

That’s you but plenty of clubs would.
I’d think several clubs would offer up a first for either of them, comes down to needs.

Elite kick, good mark.
Playing in a shithouse team with no structure.
Rolled gold quality

Being removed from the footy rumour mill up here but given elite forwards don't grow on trees and The Crows have nothing in the cupboard (Walker and Jenkins have two years in them tops).

Two 1st rounders and a player for Lukosius (sp) and you have the key piece of your forward puzzle for the next 10 years, it's a no brainer IMO Not saying what I've suggested would get the trade done but if the Crows could get Lukosius, given his age and ability I don't think there would be such a thing as "overs"!

Fogarty replaces Walker and like Walker he isn't a high flying pack mark type player, Himmelberg looks like he might be and if Adelaide don't put games into both of them ahead of Jenkins and Walker they're mad.

Jenkins & Keith as a package for a first round pick? That could potentially tempt a team like the Doggies who need more bookends.

This is a solid idea. WB need some big bodies, look alight otherwise around the ground.

Thats actually the rumour I was told, but the player was said to be Doedee. Too much for the Crows to give up when they need to address a few area's imho. Not sure modern footy requires big forwards these days, but Lukocious is pretty mobile so probably doesnt fit into that typical big KPP mould anyway.

Would think both Adelaide and Port wouldn't mind a crack at Norwood's Dylan Stephens in the draft.

That is my concern too.
Hopefully both use up their early picks

Will the Crows let Jenkins walk?
What’s he on, $600k? Maybe Adelaide pay $200k of that for 2 years.
They obviously want him gone & he wants to go from all reports.
I’ve said it before, I’d have him in a heartbeat at Arden St. He’d could be a great foil for Brown IMO.

Probably not the worst fit. You guys have plenty of coin, hopefully you wouldn't fall into the trap of taking his full wage on.

He could be a very handy player if he went to a half decent team.

Jenkins is on $500k a year isn't he?

Depends who you ask and what their agenda is

Plus match payments?

He is right

People who call him a spud say he is on $800k

People who support Adelaide say $450k

It’s somewhere in the middle

What they identify as is irrelevant.

I was slightly off he's on $550k a year.

JOSH Jenkins has signed a long-term with Adelaide, ending a protracted contract saga for the power forward.

Adelaide’s board — as predicted by The Advertiser — today signed off on a mega, $550,000-a-year deal locking in Jenkins, 27, until 2022, making it likely he will be a Crow for life.

Jenkins rejected interest from several rival clubs, including an offer from Brisbane believed to be worth close to $750,000 a season.

Keath, Greenwood and Fog all seem like they aren't certain to be at the crows next year and all would be worth something on the open market.

Keath and Greenwood are out of contract so can take a risk and walk if they want, no playing hardball with them so you get what you're given.
