All entitled to our opinions mate! Don't think anyone will cane you if you provide some justification for your thoughts...?
I thought he was selfish and on a number of times took the wrong option when he had team mates in better positions.

I thought his kicking was ****e at times also.

It was just a gut thing though really watching him go about his game last night, not sure.

I know I'll probably be caned for this - but I really didn't like Jenkins game last night.
Agree, playing for his career, ignored team mates and went for unrealistic shots when others were in a better position. Walker was in the goal square on his own and missed from dead in front 35 out, can't recall if it was in the 3rd or last quarter.

Yeah that was an absolute shocker! A 90% play would've been a little snap around his body to the goal-square, with the only risk getting over the man between them...

At the same time, you'd have to say it's a 90% play for an AFL standard footballer on however many 100k a year to kick a goal from 35m out with time and space. If he gets cute and stu*** it up he looks silly; if he misses he looks selfish; just gotta nail the goal!!!

totally agree, if your not backing in your FF to nail it from 35 metres out, then you need to be asking more serious questions

too many players don't seem to want to take the responsibility of kicking for goals and wan't to dish it off

Jenkins has been in cruise mode since he held the crows over the coals for his last contract in my opinion. Shame too as I think he's quite a talented footballer who hasn't got the most out of himself.

always see Jenkins as a "looks like Tarzan, plays like Jane player" similar to that Jesse White we paid Sydney a fortune for.

Not sure how accurate the SC website is but it says Grundy has an ankle issue?!?! I desperately need him to play in round 14...
