Not a great player but could help Naughton out for a couple of years and provide relief rucking.
Jenkins is on a roughly $750,000 contract with Adelaide.

If they pick up half of that then I'm OK with it!
Another key position player that may be worth chasing is Dan McStay from Brisbane. Out of contact, able to play at either end, good size at 195cm and not yet 24. Perhaps he could be feeling homesick?

Ha, the annual mention of McStay.
He signed a longish deal last year from memory.
Brissie do have a few young developing talls though, their academy system is going gangbusters. From memory we bid on C Bellendon (forgive spelling) who is tall and aggressive, looks an ideal foil for Naughton and he can also ruck.

Um, no - as I said out of contract. Signed a 2 year deal in 2017.

Let's think more boldly. Hiya McCluggage.
He'll need a driver so McStay can come too if he likes.

Only $550,000 according to this:
Could Josh Jenkins be traded to Melbourne club?
Josh Jenkins would only consider a trade back to a Melbourne club if his SANFL stint dragged into the second half of the season.
The Adelaide star continues to languish in the SANFL despite six goals in his last outing, desperate to be recalled against Melbourne on Saturday night.
Jenkins, 30, is well established in the city with a wife Hannah and daughter Lottie and is hopeful he can see out a $550,000-a-season deal that expires in 2022.
But he could be forced into a trade if coach Don Pyke continues to ignore him at AFL level later into the season.

Glen Coleman was 29 when he played his first game with us. Jenkins could play a similar role alongside Naughton that Coleman played alongside Chris Grant when Grant first started by taking the best defender. Maybe not the "Go near the kid and you will have me to answer to" role Coleman played but Jenkins could help improve our gamestyle and help us kick bigger scores.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Re: Proactive Poaching
With the emergence of himmelberg and Darcy forgerty in the wings , Lynch in fwd 50 and greenwood and O’Brien chop out , Josh Jenkins days are numbered .he be at best insurance cover for these guys by 2022. Can’t ruck, does he play 100% of game time like ben brown ?
I be throwing kitchen sink at Ben brown or Peter Wright . We need a Rory Lobb type which means 800k a year
