wasn't a hard shot, but can easily be missed. Wouldn't say he choked. Choke is the most overused word in footy

Discuss.
People on these forums bagged Jack Reiwoldt (<20 games) for missing a 55m goal after the siren.
Johnson will win far more games than he loses for the Bulldogs. Worse was the one about 5 minutes earlier, running into an open goal and he hit the post. :eek:

Gave his side a chance to win tonight with a superb last quarter. Four shots on goal in the last quarter says he played a pretty important role in giving the Dogs a chance.

Unforgivable by Johhno. He should have kicked it. Captains kick those. By the way, great game of footy. He seemed to stop smiling after that kick. Poor example the way he reacted.

The one where he hit the post runing in about 10 meters out was the bigger choke, selfish play should have given the hands to aker for an easy goal.

I can't believe the amount of disrespect being shown to Johnson. He's a great player, just because he missed after the siren doesn't make him a shit player.
Now i bet he kicks 8 goals straight next week against us.

Won them the match vs the Crows, and came close again tonight kicking the last goal and behind of the game.
Would have put the house on him kicking that. Looked very casual kicking it.
Casual? I thought he looked rigid, very tense! I would have backed him aswell to kick that!

We've dropped one game thus far....and it was an emotional match, but full credit to north. Hopefully we can come out firing against the hawks

Agreed.
Unforgivable slamming it into the post like that.

Ricketts
25 May 2008, 20:24
I'm happy he missed that. Same with the other one also in the 4th quarter where he ran into the open goal and hit the post.
For so long now we've seen Johnno "cheat" by sneaking forward and getting on the end of those goals, instead of helping out teammates around the contest to win the disputed ball. Also gets/plays for a solid amount of free-kicks in marking contests.
He feasts on cheap goals, it worked in round 1, but tonight was the evening-up.
Lucky roos. Dogs deserved to win it.
How do you jump to that conclusion? Was it the fact that they were their own demise in the end? Or the fact that we managed to outscore them in the last quarter easily?
Think, BEFORE you talk next time.

I think the Roos deserved to win it. Headed all day, down by 4 goals at half time, they did really well to get up. Would have been a massive unjustice if they'd lost.
Great for them to win it for Brent Harvey.
Oh, for those nutters bagging Johnson: you wish you had him in your side, I'll bet.Lucky roos. Dogs deserved to win it.

John Terry-esque.
He looks pretty upset sitting in the rooms, imagine how he feels right now!
In my mind, just desserts for the way the Dogs beat Adelaide in Round One. Exact same situation but this time the Dogs blew the after the siren shot and Johnson who kick 3 late goals to sink Adelaide missed two shots in the last few minutes and the after the siren shot.

I also remember Kernahan missing a shot on goal after the siren against Essendon where any score would've won.

At least John Terry can say it was raining and the ground was wet so he slipped.

Been dying to see the day when that soft c*cked excuse of a footballer finally gets shown up for being the hack that he is.
So you have waited 300+ games to see him stuff that up, and his team still be comfortably in 3rd spot, gee that was worth it.:rolleyes:

Feel sorry for him, one of my favourite players. Cant deny though how happy I was when he missed.

Oh well. This is the first time this has happened this year.
We were bound to lose a close one.
Johnno is a great player but he isnt the bloke I want to take a kick after the siren. Can't be angry at him though. He is a champion. We wouldnt have been close had he not been playing. Adds so much confidence in the other blokes.
He was under more pressure than a normal player. This thread, and the other is testament to that. You dont want to be a captain kicking ater the siren. Im sure JB was scared S******* when he dobbed that goal after the siren last year.

Not suggesting this is the first time he has choked. He shirks a physical contest every 5 mins of each game he plays. Just waiting for a golden moment like this.

Johnno was 40 out..... and from where Kernahan was he should've kicked something.

I was wondering the same thing :confused::confused:
The Bulldogs won that game because of constant pressure at the end. Johnson was in the right place at the right time. If it had been Porplyzia in the same position, and he'd missed a shot after the siren against WC last night, would you be saying the same thing?
No you wouldn't, so shut up.
He is a good player, though he no champion.

A champion, without a shred of a doubt, and only in the last few years has gotten the praise he deserves. Had he been playing for a higher profile/more successful team, he'd have been much higher rated much earlier.
Even Chris Tarrant can kick goals after the siren to win the game.

25 May 2008, 20:46
Johnno has been kicking for goal awfully pretty much all year. He was terrible again tonight. As he was lining up I really expected him to miss, so I'm not sure it's fair to say he choked. He just didn't kick it well at an obviously incredibly important time.
I would say it's a choke when you would kick it 90% of the time. Based on this years efforts, I don't think Johnno was anywhere near a 90% chance to kick it.
AdrianZachary
25 May 2008, 20:46
Look guys, he did choke but that doesn't mean he isn't a top player!!!
From there, experienced players shouldn't miss but that is what pressure does to you!!!
are you somehow saying the dogs beat adelaide dishonestly?
No I wasn't. Bulldogs certainly deserved their win in Round One. Just nice to see them lose the same way after the pain it caused us. Bitter and vindictive I know but just being honest.

It's funny how quick people are to accuse different teams or players of choking.
Footballers aren't robots. Sometimes they miss; even the best kicks for goal, like Johnno.
Daniel Motlop choked that time, down in Tassie when he shanked that kick after the siren.
