Jenkins had some cracking numbers a few years back. He kick over 50 goals a few years in a row. But its fair to say his form has dropped away a bit over the last couple of years.

Dixon hasnt been overly great this year either.

When was this? Do you mean cumulative total?

Kicked 62 one year ( 2016 ), 46 and 45 either side of that.

Well that averages to over 50 goals a year a few years in a row!

Sorry mate I rounded the 40's up and said you know 50 odd lol . But what I was saying is that he had some pretty good years in a row.

I'd have Dixon in a heart beat if it was a choice between those two. Wouldn't even consider Jenkins, brings nothing.

Nope.

Dare one say it since he got a decent payrise and contract

I may be showing bias but Josh's stats per game kill Dixon. Dixon does not do well under pressure and is a terrible kick for goal. His potential is high but never achieved. He had a reasonable season last year but is not there at all this season. He also give a few free kicks away each match. JJ is a lazy player but on his day kills it.

One on one JJ's stats blow Dixon out of the water.

Jenkins 1.3 contested marks Dixon 1.6

thats not a big difference for their perceived different game styles

One thing I know for sure, neither have stood up in a big final, thats when they should be earning their big bucks

For sure, for sure?

2017 -
Semi final - Dixon 23 touches, 7 marks, 4 tackles, 3 goals. That not standing up?

Prelim final - Jenkins 18 touches, 8 marks, 4 goals. That not standing up?

I think most people would see both those performances from a key forward as "standing up". Interested to hear what your thoughts on "standing up" are.

Pfft Booney, you and your actuate facts

we would have got flogged last year in the final if it weren’t for Dixon

Havent checked the stats or anything, but is Sauce Jacobs a bit down on form compared to recent seasons?

yep most definitely. doesn't look 100% to me

Didn't he cop a lower leg injury early in the Power game and struggled through? Probably should've sat out last week but it was a crucial win for the Crows, it might be to their detriment against big Maxy this week if they're trying to limp him through to the rest week.

Last 4 years averages :

2015/2016/2017/2018
Disposals :
15.4/14.3/14.4/12.6
Marks :
4.2/3.1/3.7/2.7
H/outs :
37/31/39/37

Numbers don't look to have had a major dip, he is goalless this year but isn't a big goal kicker anyway ( 9 last year, 8 the year before with 4,7,4,7 before that ).

I agree he's not having the impact he perhaps normally has, then again he's not had Sloane, Crouch and Crouch at his feet much this year given their run with injury but it seems he's a little restricted in his movement.

His durability is almost a liability, they've not really found out of O'Brien is a capable AFL ruckman and might see a dip in output when Sauce isn't on the park or retired. He turned 30 in April and has carried Adelaide's ruck division for sometime now.
