You need to have at least one trick.
As a medium small forward you need to have great pressure if you are only going to touch the ball 9-10 times.
I like the item of playing him as an inside mid. He needs to build a massive tank and get to more contest.
I agree. SOJ has the football nous to be an effective inside mid but he has a bit of work to do before he can replicate his VFL stats at AFL level.
We're not really missing him in the forward line and we desperately need more grunt in the midfield. It's bad luck that his midfield potential wasn't seized on during the pre-season.
