Troy Johnson (born 26 July 1977) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with the Brisbane Bears in the Australian Football League (AFL). Johnson, a Fremantle Hawks junior, was a Western Australian representative in the Under 18 Championships.
He was drafted by Brisbane from South Fremantle and made his AFL debut in the opening round of the 1996 season, against Footscray. The Bears won the game by 87 points, with Johnson contributing four disposals. He kept his spot in the team for the next round, which was against the West Coast Eagles back in his home state, but he didn't register a possession.
De-listed for disciplinary reasons, Johnson returned to South Fremantle and took part in their 1997 finals campaign. He nominated for the 1997 AFL Draft and was chosen by Fremantle with pick 32, but would never play a senior game for them.

Worst Draft Pick Ever? (http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showthread.php?t=111960)

Troy Johnson, Brisbane Bears 1995 from memory.

Didn't play a senior game, spent the first 1/2 of the year playing at West Brisbane. Upon being dragged before 1/2 time, stormed off into the change rooms, stole $200 and returned to Perth.

Close to worst pick ever for Brisbane and my mob. Absolute tool

1995 Draft Review (http://www.ntfootball.com.au/nt-football-articles/1995/12/9/who-your-club-selected/)

42 TROY JOHNSON (19, South Fremantle): Stand-out Western Australian Commonwealth Bank Cup player two years ago who has convinced the Bears he will benefit from a change of club. Ruck-rover.

They already tried that with Troy Johnson. Got delisted from Brisbane for robbing Adrian Fletcher's house, went to jail in WA, dominated the local league on day release, got picked up by Freo, robbed Adrian Fletcher's house again.

I remember Kinnear Beatson on one of those old Optus Vision shows being quite candid wrt the reasons behind Johnson being "weeded" out of the club.
