AFL Player 40: Zak Johnson

[VelvetSledge]

 

[resurrector]

Looks very composed with ball in hand. Might have gotten ourselves an absolute steal with this lad

 

[JayJ20]

His kicking is what we’ve been crying out for

 

[Call Me Cake]

I'm liking him.

 

[DallasCrane316]

Settled in nicely this game. Good game from him. Keep playing him.

 

[Schnitzengruben]

Honestly I'm really liking him. Can see he tries to take the game on and be creative. Keep him in.

 

[Zach Package]

Doesn’t have to be soon but I can see him eventually becoming a full time mid.

Looks equally at home in congestion as he does in space and is good at keeping his hands free and up above contact and dishing at odd angles.

 

[Happyskeret]

I just think he is the most perfect back flanker since Mark Thompson and David Grenvold. Please don’t make him a mid. The Dodo era is extinct. Play him where he is good!

 

[gillon]

In the 4th he hit Caddy lace out on a lead with a low pass that was actually spoiled, but I doubt 90% of our list could execute a kick like that.

Keep drafting kids that can kick please

He has a similar build and kicking action actually to Dawson.

 

[JT_the_Man]

This guy is a very good footballer. Can seriously kick a ball.

Drafted as a mid TBF in this case.

 

[BOMBERBLITZ]

We've found ourselves a player here... well done Rosa and co.

 

[Jobe Watson]

Apart from the dinky kick-in to the back pocket that was spoiled deep in the 4th, which is just a silly mistake under pressure from a young player, he was very good.

 

[MarkJohnson#1]

My boy! Kid is a jet, steal of the draft for sure. Tough, composed, skillful. Lock him in for the rest of the season.

Excuse me?

 

[Pweter]

Please let Reid and Ridley get (and stay) fit. With those 2 and Zak clearing the ball from defence we might finally stop handing the ball back to the opposition with monotonous regularity

 

[Atavistic]

MY BOY

Everyone else wants him now.

 

[eth-dog]

Everyone else wants him now.

They can get in line

 

[thebigboy]

Another rising star nom coming our way, if not this week, then certainly by seasons end

 

[naraku]

Probably best on for me. One of the few bright spots.

 

[Bipolar Bear]

Top 3 on the ground for us, ripper game.

 

[Schnitzengruben]

Really enjoying watching him play. Can see him being our main distributor for a while to come.

 

[andleanback]

One of the few I trust with ball in hand. Should play the rest of the year even when we get a few back. Should be played over McGrath imo

 

[Atavistic]

Great score for my Dream Team this week. Well done, Zak.

 

[faible]

Few times he gave the handball or took a short kick to senior guys, would prefer he’s taking the longer kicks himself.
