Geelong are considering making a late play for out-of-favour Adelaide forward Josh Jenkins on the final day of the AFL trade period.

The 30-year-old has been unwanted throughout the AFL trade period after agreeing with the Crows that he should explore his options to fulfil the remaining two years on his contract.

AFL Media reported the Cats' interest and a source at Geelong confirmed they were considering taking on the mobile tall who has averaged two goals a game in his 147-game career.

Geelong attempted to convince North Melbourne pair Shaun Higgins and Todd Goldstein to join their club in September before the pair re-committed to the Kangaroos, and will recruit St Kilda's Jack Steven for pick 58 on Wednesday.
