Nice article from The Age which makes a reference to Johno along with Federer, Andrew Gaze and even Phar Lap.

Here are the five sportsmen — or equine immortals — least likely to find their way into trashy tabloids because of off-field indiscretions. Of course, Tiger Woods may have been in this list a while ago . . .

They couldn't think of a 5th person?

The Phar Lap bit is stupid and lame.

What are you talking about "waiting and wishing"?


Johnno will still be getting three year contracts in 2020!:D

Agree, it was a serious article and then it just went silly at the end.

"unofficial statistics show that he leads the competition in goal-hugging"
Don't know how you can interpret that as serious.

It was a hard one to read. As you say, it started off on a serious note but then just lost it's way.

This is a pretty deep discussion over what's effectively a feel good puff piece!

FWIW, here's what I took from it:
Roger Federer hasn't always been squeaky clean. He was a sooky, tantrum throwing brat. But he has matured and become a champion, on and off the court. And I'm willing to forgive his adolescent churlishness, because he was just that; an adolescent.
Johnno: the article should have read "Known as the ''smiling assassin'' because of the constant grin on his face and ability to put teams to the sword , Johnson is the captain and games record-holder of the Western Bulldogs"

Though I did love the goal hugging comment. Very funny.

The Phar Lap reference was stupid. It was a horse.
