Those advocating Jack are mostly doing so because...
a) They see stats/goals from the NB games
b) They see the 'performance' (or lack thereof) of Walker/Everitt on a weekly basis.
Based on that its a case of, "surely he couldn't be any worse than..."
Probably Kruddler but, at present, SOJ is playing more like a small forward. Someone in another thread compared SOJ to Gunston and that couldn't be further from the mark. If I had to compare him with a Hawthorn player, someone like Puopolo would be close - and I mean that as a good thing!
I expect that SOJ will "play taller" as he develops strength, match fitness and confidence. I don't think he will ever have the ability to cover the ground like Everitt and Walker.
