Nothing will or should take away Jarryd's number of tries scored and other such purely performance based feats.
But medals (such as Dally Ms) are an honour and a privilege, bestowed upon players deserving of them... the Dally Ms used to (still do?) exclude players who were suspended for 2 or more matches during the season from winning - so there is already more than just performance being considered.
In my opinion it makes perfect sense that character in subsequent years should be a criteria for the bestower of awards to retract them should they deem it desirable.
