Brad Johnson - 300 Great Games

Re: Brad Johnson - 300 Great Games

I reckon if you compare the defenders each has had to deal with, you'll find the stats giving the impression that Medhurst has been better than he has.

SS is right IMO, Johnno's season would still be lauded if we didn't have such high expectations. He's struggled to be at his best, but has still been a pretty decent contributor. I'd like him to be at his best tonight though...

Will kick his 50th goal of the season tonight.

Ok time to fire you all up again.

Are we too worried about our player's individual performance's rather than that of the team's? Look I know that Johnson has had a pretty good year, but to judge his performance on how many goals he has kicked or whatever stat you want to bring up I feel doesn't show the real story.

Going back to the Sydney game in Canberra I am pretty sure I gave him votes for his effort's. I think he kicked 4 goals in this game which was a good contribution, but more importantly he battled hard for each of his possessions, he chased & tackled and did those little things that help you win game's of footy.

I am not on a witch hunt, I am just hoping that Johnno does a few more of those little things tonight and in every game he plays, the little things that may help us get over the line.

We need inspiration (per your thread) and thats why I bumped this thread. I think we need Johnno to show by example and get the team pumped, I want the smiling assasin to assasinate

Re: Brad Johnson - 300 Great Games

I thought he was so courageous after being knocked out, then coming out and crunching a pack, handballing and result was a goal.

Great inspiration by the captain.

Re: Brad Johnson - 300 Great Games

Agree that he was better, stayed in the contest more times than not and we got the rewards for this.

Still not sure why he 'chase's' kicks across the HB line, especially when we are slowing the game down, his foot skills can be a little hit and miss. Was interested to see the runner go out to him at the start of the last qtr when his mis-kick resulted in a goal. Not sure what was said, but Johnson made a fairly swift return to our forwardline.
