I think the expectations of Jenkins being a crash the pack KPP is false even though that's his size.
He's there because he needs a tall defender to match him because of his size, but he runs like a mid so if the ball gets out and it's a footrace, he'll beat his opponent most times and run in and kick the goal. Hence his "joe the goose" reputation.
Then during games he's able to give Sauce a spell and try and break even in the ruck for 10% of the game.
I agree with the frustrations though cause he can go missing quite often.
At the end of the day, 40, 46, 62, 45 goals from the last 4 years in that role is not bad.

Good old Junk time Jenkins. It would be an interesting stat to see how many of these were late in games.

I like to heap sh*t on JJ as much as the next bloke but those figures are pretty good.
Not too many forwards/2nd rucks have figures like those in the last 4 years.

JJ will never be that guy but that doesnt mean it isnt valuable to the team - one of the more athletic key forwards in the game - probably only below buddy and daniher i reckon (maybe hipwood too)

Being a former basketballer is why he doesn’t do crash packs. It’s not been hammered into him

That's a lame reason / excuse if I ever saw one.
