Toast JJ The Roadrunner

[Optimistic Dog]

Yeah HBF or nothing if we want run and carry it it is JJ if we want more a lock down player we go Duryea over to you Bevo.

Watched a bit of the all-star game from last year yesterday and, although that thing was a glorified practice match, JJ was explosive. Launching from the half back and delivering onto the chest of forwards time and time again. I've got a feeling it's less JJ, and more our setup that hindering him atm.

Those games are set up so players look like super stars. No defensive set ups, no zones, almost no direct pressure.

Glorified Whitten Legends Game.

 

[charcoalchicken]

Playing well last couple weeks, last night he was great, let’s hope he continues this throughout the year now

 

[Mantis Toboggan]

The coaches need to sit him down to watch Brad Hill’s game today and tell him that’s how he needs to use his attributes.

Needs to be behind the ball more often and breaking lines to set up plays up the ground

May 1st feels like a long time ago.

 

[Braybrook Son]

I’m one of his biggest critics, but JJ was brilliant last night. He just seemed to attack every contest, really enjoyed his game last night, best I’ve seen in years, even better than his grand final game if you ask me. Best aggression he’s ever shown on a footy field in my opinion

He really performed the funeral rites over their carcass with that chase down and tackle in the centre of the ground.

 

[Brian Perrin]

JJ’s run down of Butler last night was brilliant. So desperate at a point in time when the game was buried. Came at him from a mike away

Brilliant - if you haven’t seen it have a look on IG

Shows exactly what we need in that position and it’s beginning to click

Welcome back JJ

Pointed out that JJ was about 30m from goal when he set off, laying the tackle in the centre circle

 

[Royale]

Watched him live this week. Was superb harrassing and running and linking. Add in the tackling and he's about as complete as you'd want from a half forward/winger. He should go to Salem this week.

Hannan, Scott, McNeil, Laith, Cody and even the talls provide good to excellent pressure but

what JJ does is shrink the ground for the opposition with his running range

 

[Igloo]

Best tackling of his career. Just stuck all of them. Played a great game. I was very impressed.

 

[Shacf501]

Best tackling of his career. Just stuck all of them. Played a great game. I was very impressed.

Hopefully he starts doing these hard things consistently/

 

[doggies ftw]

That rundown tackle was probably the best single effort any of our players have produced this year. That was brilliant. He ran 60m and made up the distance in seconds. I got laughed at early in the year when I said JJ could have some players worried with his pressure in the front half, it’s taken a couple of months but it seems to have clicked for him now. No he’s never going to be a tackling machine but there’s no reason he can’t up his defensive pressure to an elite level, it’s only going to take a couple of efforts like that to stick in the oppos mind and he’s gonna be having a few blokes coming out of our forward half second guessing themselves knowing he’s buzzing around.

Best tackling of his career. Just stuck all of them. Played a great game. I was very impressed.

Interesting thing is he's found more of the ball too!? His hands have been really clean in traffic which is not usually his strong point.

 

[TiAn_]

So long JJ

Was a sight to behold when streaming off half back in his prime

 

[Fossie 32]

Another Bullgod gone. Thank you and Happy Trails JJ

Legend.

 

[Norm De Guerre]

For mine this is and always will be the defining moment of Johannisen's career.

It's mostly remembered for Bont getting into space and on the end of his many teammates hard work. But somebody needed to break the frenetic play that proceeded it and JJ was perfectly positioned to use his skillset to be that somebody.

It paved the way for his Norm and everything including the bulldog immortality that came with it.

1000 years later. It still sends a chill up my spine.

 

[Timewillcome]

Probably had to happen but will be missed. JJ was absolute peak 2015-16 and contributed to the two most enjoyable years of footy I remember, absolutely excited to go to every game I could with us playing a very exciting style and highly competitive against all teams.

That burst of speed from about two steps was incredible and he had a huge impact on this team. Gun player.

 

[Werewolf]

From rookie to Norm Smith medallist, how many other blokes have done that?

I’ve watched the Octocall of that goal about a million times. Still get a bit emotional.

Thanks for the memories JJ, hope the sail off into the sunset is full of joy.

Boyd’s hack to JJ happened right in front of me and I am visible for a brief moment in the footage. One of my all time favourite moments at the footy.

He played well this year and I’m glad he managed to get to 200. A great career despite a lot of injuries the last few years.

 

[dergert]

JJ was such a star during the 2015-2016 seasons. Absolute weapon with his dash off half back.

One of the few who played well in the 2021 grand final.

I hope he is not lost to the club after this.
