Re: 21. Courtney Johns

Every time the ball went near him, he almost marked it
Until that last goal, which was quality

Still not quite there in a few areas, doesn't kick & mark enough to be "just" a dinosaur full-forward
 
Re: 21. Courtney Johns

Turn him into a full back using Leigh Matthews blue print. He turned Merret into a serviceable full back, and he will be better there than FF

Matthews also turned Michael from a FF to FB, so there must be something there.
 
Re: 21. Courtney Johns

Very happy to see Johns included in the side, hopefully he'll play a good game and continue to hold down a position down back.
 
Re: 21. Courtney Johns

It's not often that Robert Walls gets anything Essendon related correct but he was spot on the money today about CJ. He didn't cut the mustard today.
 
Re: 21. Courtney Johns

give up on the defensive experiment. he is a full forward
 
Re: 21. Courtney Johns

It is not about experimentation or trying him in different positions. Not all blokes are going to make it and that needs to acknowledged... He is simply not up to it .... in any position..

Im starting to realise this, great backman at VFL level and poo in the seniors. Has played a few great games at FF at AFL level and if he's going to make it, it'll surely be up forward.

Should be sent back to Bendigo playing at FF until he starts kicking a few bags, then maybe he could be brought into the seniors (whilst Lucas is out).
 
Re: 21. Courtney Johns

How is it that with 2 key forwards out, we elect to play this bloke in the backline in exchange for Fletcher in the forward line???

Will never be a senior backline player that contributes anything meaningful to the side.

If we're going to play him. Play him in position. This backline experiment is a waste of time.
 
Re: 21. Courtney Johns

I feel bad for this dude sorta. If Lloyd can't get good passes these days via the Essendon midfield who will?
Seems a little brainless too.
