    If so, then trade?

    He has Duryea for speed, and that's about it. Duryea has been doing a pretty good job on dangerous small forwards this year and is a far better defender than JJ. He is also a more reliable kick.

    Daniel, Dale and Williams have all gone past JJ as rebounding defenders.

    Far superior decision maker.

    I haven't been as enamoured with Duryea as others have, to be honest. He's definitely a better one on one defender than JJ, though that's not to say he's offering much more than JJ could in the position.

    With Williams out I think we're missing a bit of dash off the half back line and I think that's something JJ can help with providing his head is in it. He featured highly in our best and fairest two years and won a Norm Smith playing that role, and it's not as if he didn't have to defend then like he does now.
    Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

    Williams and Dale are different to JJ in that they can also play as the third tall and are more competent in the air. Once Caleb sewed up half-back, that was really the end of JJ.

    It's not that he's worse than Duryea, it's that the role he plays has been taken by Dale, Daniel and Williams.
