With the AFL mid-season draft fast approaching, the idea of a trade period to match has been suggested by CEO Gillon McLachlan for the league's future.
If a mid-season trade-period was to be implemented into the 2019 season, there would be a few names circling the trade block and here's who might just be making a move mid-year.
Josh Jenkins (Adelaide)
Potential suitors: Essendon, Melbourne, Hawthorn
The emergence of Elliott 'Big Easy' Himmelberg in the Crows' forward line structure might just be the beginning of the end for Jenkins' time in South Australia.
At 30-years-old and struggling to make selection, Jenkins is facing the twilight of his career, or at least with Adelaide.
278 goals from 140 career matches prove that Jenkins can still offer a great deal of experience and strength for a club in need of a secondary forward, with several clubs reportedly interested in bringing Jenkins home to Victoria.
Essendon, Hawthorn and Melbourne all find themselves searching for a catalyst for their attacking formula, and an out-of-favour Jenkins could just be that.
Joe Daniher's season-ending injury, Jarryd Roughead's exclusion at Hawthorn and the Demons continuing to struggle in front of goal all suggest a change of action is a necessity.
A mid-season trade between the Crows and either of these clubs would see Jenkins flourish in a new environment. For a deal to get done you would likely need an exchange of picks between second and fourth round selections with Jenkins.
