This is no surprise, it was always going to happen, it's the difference between what fans want and the brutal reality of AFL.
Fans would have SoJ picked 1st week in and week out, but in the reality of AFL he has real world limitations.
Anybody who thought we would carry SoJ, on top of already having BigH, Charlie, Pitto, TDK, Gov, Weiters and Young is crazy.
Team balance isn't just a throw away term, it really means something!
Give him a different surname, look at the same results and circumstances in the hard reality, and most fans would be calling for exactly what has happened. When they deny it they are just lying to themself.
Maybe we don't like it, but it's the reality of the team being in a better place.
