Possibly.
But....what do we want from our footballers on a weekly basis?
Obviously we all want to win, but as long as we put up a good fight and give 100%, then we can generally accept that.
There are many players who fail to live up to this 'bare minimum' of giving 100%.
SOJ could never be criticised for that though.
He was also taken at pick 54 and i'm not sure any of us expected him to make much of himself.
He has outperformed everyones expectations of him and despite his shortcomings, give effort 100% of the time.
If we had a few more with the same attitude, we'd be in the 8.
So Jack Silvagni, schitt, or whichever version you want to go with. He still provides us with a lot of other players don't or can't.
So he deserves credit for that, not just his surname.
Don't agree....how is Ben going?
