Josh Jenkins has found senior opportunities few and far between at Geelong.
Jenkins was traded to the Cats from Adelaide at the end of 2019 after kicking 296 goals in 147 games for the Crows.
Into his second season at Geelong, the 32-year-old has made just two AFL appearances and hasn’t played at senior level since Round 1 this year.
The veteran forward kicked six goals in the VFL on Thursday night, but is unfortunately stuck behind one of the best key forward duos in the game – Tom Hawkins and Jeremy Cameron.
Speaking on SEN Breakfast, Garry Lyon and Tim Watson discussed whether Jenkins would be playing regularly for another AFL club.
Lyon: “He’s too good for the VFL.”
Watson: “So why did he choose Geelong?”
Lyon: “He chose them before Jeremy (Cameron) arrived. He was supposed to be ‘Jezza’.
“Is he not good enough for AFL? Or is it that he happens to be at Geelong where they can’t fit him in?”
Watson: “That’s right. He’s at a club or a team that can’t fit him in.
“If you look around the league, there are a lot of teams he would be playing in right now as one of their forwards.”

Lyon: “The Magpies spring to mind. He’d get a game there, wouldn’t he?”
Watson: “He would be pretty much equal to or better than anything they’ve got.
“He’d almost play the No.1 role for them in their forward line because of the way they’re at the moment.”
Lyon: “I think so, too.”
Watson: “He should be and could be playing regular AFL football each and every week for another team.”
Lyon: “I understand that Coburg and Preston aren’t at the top ends of the VFL ladder, but he was way, way, way above them.”
Jenkins comes out of contract at the end of the season.
