I don't really think he's our best 22 by a long way.
It's his sixth season this year and as a mid he has consistently amassed 15 disposals each game.
He either lacks fitness or just plain midfielder skill. ie reading the play.
In any event it was a big call for the Fd to drop such a regular player. Not something that is done very often
From all reports today, its hard to see him get back into the Seniors.
He's probably better off playing stints on the fwd line .
