If true, that's what's called burning your bridges.
If Collingwood don't offer better than pick 28 he won't be going anywhere yet he'll have to face his team mates and explain why he didn't want to play with them anymore.
Way to go Steve. You're as stupid as you look.

looks like Geelong are going to accept collingwoods second round pick for Steve Johnson. News just came through on SEN. No Joke!!
Will be interesting to see tommorow.
ill personally kick eveyrone at the GFC in the pants if we accept that. Johnno is worth a pick 14 - 20. If not they better throw something in.

Forgive my ignorance, but a second round pick implies the draft, right? And what player is ready to play from the draft - aren't they all young kids? So we get rid of a ready-to-go player (with all his faults, but also his magic) and end up with a project player that won't be ready for years? That sounds bloody stupid, if I'm right about things, really bloody stupid.:thumbsd:
PLEASE, tell me I'm wrong:mad: !

Fair dinkum- if geelong accept a 2nd round pick only for steve johnson- I will give up supporting this pathetic club.
He is a gun player who only needs a decent pre-season to have a ripping year.
If Collingwood is the team after him, I would be happy to get a 3rd round pick and Cameron Cloke.

I wouldn't be trusting a story from the Townsville Bulletin FWIW.
I don't think anyone knows how this is going to end up tomorrow.
At least I'd like to see us go for Collingwood's 3rd rounder, and we give back our 4th if we're going to settle for their 2nd rounder, or work Ryley Dunn into the negotiations if it's in the 3 team deal revolving around Tarrant.
He is a gun player who only needs a decent pre-season to have a ripping year.
Problem with this statement is, he may NEVER have a decent pre - season.

I'm an SJ fan and hope he remains with us. But there was speculation on radio tonight that the main reason the Cats are keen to trade him is that his ankles are in a bad way and if they wait another year they may get nothing for him. But,as Scott Clayton said, no club will take a player without putting him through a thorough medical examination.
Of course another question is what SJ's attitude will be like in 2007 [if no trade takes place] knowing the club was prepared to dice him.

Can it get any worse I ask? I think he only has one year left on his contract anyway so if he isn't traded he has one more year to prove himself or be delisted.
Collingwood offered him a carton of VB and a carton of winnie blues to sweeten the deal....and he was in like flyn.
There has been some implication that SJ's extra-curricular activities aren't the greatest...anyone care to expand.

I reckon he is gone and we'll take whatever is on offer. There is not enough upside about this player to compensate for all the downside.
if he stays at least the footy club will have some ripping parties...

Nail on the head.
He had the most potential of any player to walk through the clubs doors in the last 10 years, but never kicked on, never cared enough. I'm now happy for him to go, but i admit, i was a huge fan :(
People who don't work hard at it, don't try, don't bother to better themselves and make the club a huge priority piss me off.

catempire
13 Oct 2006, 09:52
I disagree. It's not a matter of taking what we can get. Losing SJ is taking 30 goals out of the team that will need to come from somewhere else (and some if we are to make any dent in finals aspirations). To lose him for pick 28 or worse would be unsatisfactory. The club must now realise this fact and be practical about it.

As it loks like he will probably stay and im not sure that is the best option, we can oly hope that this might turn him around like Fev at Cartlton last year. Attitude suxd for both ans both wanted out. Fev turned it around all be it after some sex and off the booze.....If SJ can get a girl pregnant and then dry out who knows what he could do.

Magpies chief executive Greg Swann gave no reason as to why the Pies lost interest yesterday in the out-of-contract Johnson, but Geelong believes medical examination results this week were not flattering.
Geelong chief executive Brian Cook last night said that Johnson would now more than likely be re-contracted by the Cats. "Something might come up tomorrow, but we're not optimistic," Cook said.
Put your head down SJ and prove them all wrong!

Apparently Freo are now out of the Tarrant hunt... and West Coast have also stated that they are out...
Does this mean that with the Pies chasing a small forward (Medhurst and SJ both mentioned), that we could do a deal for Tarrant involving SJ and Kelly? Does anyone see that as being a last minute twist in the trade week?
Not sure if it'd be worth it - but Geelong may just do it!?

Nah! Geelong has said Kelly is not on the table. And clubs now insist on thorough medical checks before agreeing to trades so that limits SJ's prospects elsewhere. The only way SJ will go is if we accept a late draft pick and we'd be crazy to do that.
I'm pleased both will be with us next year. But how must SJ feel after all this. There must be a better way to handle player trading.

Yeah, it could go either way...
SJ could get a fright out of this and pull his finger out and play a blinder next year... or he could figure that because Cats rejected an offer of pick28 that they think he is worth quite a bit and he develops even more arrogance. Which way will it go??

While I wouldn't be 'shattered', I agree that Tarrant is not that good. It was only a thought that it MAY happen, as it had been thrown around earlier as a possible option. I think Tarrant is a good leading forward, but the positives do not go close to the negatives of having him around.
I'd rather see Kelly given a chance to respond to the crap year he's had.

Have to admit, I was one calling for Johnson to get the chop after all the nonsense with the 06 VFL grand final, the drunken rubbish, then the arrest. When Collingwood pulled out of that trade I thought we would be stuck with this white elephant for another 12 months, but I have never been happier to say I was wrong. Hope he can consolidate it next season, and become one of the truly elite.
