Past Alex Johnson - thank you for all your service, delisted 2018

[Tedeski]

Not quite he can't see anything wrong . He probably excepts the umpires in 16 and that Macca had a great day.

I'm very accepting.

I'm very accepting.

I don't think so

Woohoo! You explained it!! If I knew that was all I had to do, I'd have started guessing years ago!!!

Side note: Do you swear? It will make guessing the 'F's a lot easier if you do!

The (still) young man epitomises the spirit of our Club.

 

[CD__]

Seems extremely confident of making it back, have to admire the determination.

 

[Tedeski]

What great spirit.
That's who we want around our club & our youngsters.
You can't recruit that. This boy has it in spades & I'll look forward to seeing him out there in the seniors one day.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Wow those 2 surgeons were blunt but that just spurred Johnson on, even if he doesn't play another game keep him entrenched within the club.

You cant buy that positivity and determination.

 

[sataris]

I just want his knee to not be fubar for his own sake.

Total courage,and a complete role model. But its now a game of dollars and sense. He has to prove himself in order to be considered for a senior berth,unfortunately footy is ruthless and there will always be
someone coming up behind him!

 

[Banyo Bloods]

If his goal is to play one senior game then I hope that he achieves that goal and that will be his absolute drive every time he laces up the boots. If he retires after that so be it. If he changes his goal after that one game to senior games+ even better. Good to hear he is close to resuming after the setbacks.

 

[GotTheGoodes]

Without playing anywhere near the # of games to usually justify such a statement, I'm resolute that AJ is the epitome of what our club represents & will go down as a club champion.

He'll be ok in the Mardi Gras then

There's room on the rookie list & he said he is happy to be there as long as he thinks he can make it.
He is a rare commodity & there is no room for ruthlessness with such an asset as long as the AFL strike rate in the draft isn't 100% successful, not to mention the higher failure rate in the rookie draft.

 

[Superstar swan]

Great article from aj...hopefully he can get back this year

 

[Angry Red Bull]

Have to take your hat off to the club too. Persisting when even rookie spots are incredibly valuable especially with our success with draftees. Can we persist beyond this year? One line of argument is to suggest that by end of 2018 he would have had 2 full years on the list and had a total of only 9 reserves games to show for it. A lot must depend on balance of 2018 but his fitness post rehab must be down.

AJ says:

"My aims are firmly set on contributing to this season’s campaign in the AFL – hopefully sooner rather than later."

About to have another crack tomorrow!

[SwansProudly]

Yes, I had posted in the reserve forum

So happy to have AJ playing -there will be lots of us watching youtube and hoepfully some can turn up earlier to see him play

 

[Angry Red Bull]

The standards of recent NEAFL games makes it difficult for him IMO. Does what he must but doesn't get a touch often. I think they will give him a go in firsts sometime after the bye against lower opposition perhaps GC Suns round 18. That's what I'm hoping

He never did get big numbers but he will improve as his 'match' fitness does (I'd say he's 'generally' fit by the look of those legs).

The video I saw of him recently he did seem reasonably fit and very composed/ confident in his play. Liked what I saw given only recent return from injury.
