    Congratulations to Jason Johannisen on 150 Games

    Has been a great player for the RWB and maybe a little out of form at the moment, but huge congratulations to JJ on getting to 150.

    An important player with lots of ability - we need more of this for the rest of the year:

    FFC: Established 1883

    Premierships: AFL 1954, 2016 VFA - 1898,99,1900, 1908, 1913, 1919-20, 1923-24, VFL: 2014, 2016 . Champions of Victoria 1924. AFLW - 2018.

    My favourite game of his was when his first week back from injury he kicked the winning goal against Sydney

    Must say I'm surprised he's only on 150.

    Congratulations to him. He has given us electrifying pace and great skills at a time when we desperately needed it. Has come up huge in some big moments for us; Notably the siren goal against Sydney, the run and carry to set up that amazing goal to Bont in the 2016 prelim and of course the well deserved Norm Smith (I'd have given it to Boyd but that's not to say JJ wasn't deserving of it.).

    Unfortunately the last few years have seen him devoid of confidence. I hope he can get back to the pre 2017 levels. For a player right in his prime, it'd be a welcome addition.

    Definitely a worthy achievement and a lot more achievements to come in the RWB if we keep tracking as we are.

    From the rookie list to the Norm Smith medal, that's one hell of a journey

    I remember talking to Simon Dalrymple years ago and while he was reluctant to be definitive on which draft gems he was most happy with identifying he did however speak glowingly about JJ.

    JJ can reinvent himself as a footballer.

    Congrats JJ on your 150th game. Great achievement. May be a little out of form right now but when on form he is explosive of that half back line going forward.

    That goal he kicked was great. What a win that was.

    Born in South Africa too! He was awarded life membership earlier this year also, one of the true Dog's legends.

    Hope he can get back to his best on Sunday.

    Sounds like he is playing Sunday.

    Hopefully he takes advantage of the opportunity and his (and the sides) performance improves to mark the occasion!

    Congratulations on your 150th Jason. You have been a fine player in the RW&B. A Norm Smith medallist and a premiership medal, great career thus far and long may it continue.

    He finished fourth in the Sutton Medal in 2019, seventh in 2018 and second in 2017 which is pretty good going. So it's really only been this year and last when he's been largely played out of his preferred position that he's struggled.

    Thanks Jeemak, I obviously had completely forgotten he played well in 2017. I missed 2019 but for some reason remember him having a poor season prior to last year. Maybe it was 2018. What was the year the Dees and swans got in his head?

    Edit: Looks like it was towards the end of 2017. Interesting, as I relate those incidents to the start of his downwards trend. Perhaps he polled most of his Sutton votes prior to these incidents.
