Josh Jenkins will be on display, interested to see how he goes against us.

Last year I think we should have set up a deal to re-signed Betts and then traded him to Adelaide for Jenkins, assuming that is possible, it may have been a cheap way to get hold of a significant KPF prospect.

I dont think this would be workable LP.

Largely because there is no interest for Adelaide to do it.

They could simply pay Eddie more money to go as a free agent, and keep their asset, or say that Betts decided to sign and force this to occur, Adelaide would offer us pick number 99 or a player they were about to delist and then we end up accepting compensation we wouldnt use ALA Jordan Russell.

when it all comes down to it, I don't think we will get a key position player out of a deal like this anyway as its simply in no one's best interests to do it.

It's going to happen again, and when it does we scream!

I think it depends what you call a KPF.

If you are talking about a Tex or Tippett then I agree, but a bloke like Jenkins is 25 been at a couple of clubs treated primarily as a back-up ruck option despite being a forward for most of his career. EFC invested in Daniher so Jenkins got chopped, Adelaide used him as a backup for Tex, Tippett and Jacobs. If not for Tex's injury he might not be getting a game, yet he would be more than a valuable tall forward option for us in light of Waite's unreliability, and he kicks bags of 3 or 4 going at nearly 60% accuracy for 1.5 goals a game! That is a Maclure type and that is what we need.

Who has Armfield lost his spot to this year?

Changed my mind.

Reckon we are a chance now. Not sure why, it's just the vibe.

I call it the clubbing vibe.

Yeah recently for sure but prior to that?

Where has that (never say die) attitude being all year....?

It's why guys like Armfield, Robbo and Bell are important players even if not the most highly skilled as they have ticker and won't take a backward step.....
