Writing for The Advertiser, Bicks says the \u201cdeterioration\u201d of JJ\u2019s relationship with senior coach Don Pyke, as well as his lack of contested play, have been factors in his fall from grace at Adelaide.<\/p>\n
\u201cJenkins\u2019 forthright nature in his media commitments and openly challenging selection decisions has not endeared himself to the coach,\u201d writes Bicks.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt appears when there have been lineball decisions at selection, most have gone against Jenkins. I\u2019m not saying they were wrong, as players ultimately pick themselves through their performance, just noting the factors that have contributed to the strained relations.<\/p>\n
\u201cDespite some flaws, Jenkins still has plenty to offer but with the Crows ageing list and the need to blood some young key forwards, his future lies elsewhere\u2026<\/p>\n
\u201cA split would allow Josh to continue his career in a new environment where his skill set and experience are required and for the Crows a chance to get a draft pick and some salary relief as they look to reset and build towards their next flag.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not exactly a win-win, but it does allow both parties the chance to move on.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
?As his former forward line coach, @MarkBickley26<\/a> watched Josh Jenkins blossom at @Adelaide_FC<\/a>
But with the club looking to youth and JJ out of favour, he says it is time for them to part ways.https:\/\/t.co\/vuD0IwjCwl<\/a><\/p>— The Advertiser Sport (@TheTiserSport) August 13, 2019<\/a><\/blockquote>
