AFL Player 40: Zak Johnson

[VelvetSledge]

 

[doug85]

Competitor with skills. What is going on. First Roberts and now this bloke. How un Essington.

And with late picks. Maybe our drafting is starting to turn

More money spent on development too. Maybe even individualised training programs to allow players to focus on specific deficiencies

Annoying with the fixture - no VFL next week. Wonder if he’s a chance for AFL next week. Otherwise means no game time two weeks in a row

 

[Chucks]

Surely debut is imminent, possibly this week?

Via X the boy is in

 

[JayJ20]

Can Johnson make it 4 rising star nominations this year?

 

[Vindicater]

He will be a great CHB.

 

[yehhhhbra]

Save our souls zakky boy! Go well..

 

[Agronomus]

HE'S NOT READY!

 

[Vander18]

Seen enough to want to see more (kicking looks first rate) but don’t have a great feel for his game yet.

Where do we see him? On my very preliminary view he looked like more than a defender. Any reason he can’t be a mid? What’s his running ability like? Awareness seemed good on limited viewing.

 

[bomberlegend2007]

Zen Scott doesn’t play the kids.

 

[ant555]

He will come in and if he is not SUB he will do some good stuff like Clarke and look good but will get found out defensively a bit which you would expect. Good to see he is playing but his defensive game is not sorted.

In his presser today he said something along the lines of being able to have 6 debutants because of injuries. You better tell him.

You're not usually going to see changes to sides that win unless there are injuries, but the point is debutants have been first choice replacements ahead of more mature options and that still contradicts the first quote.

If I was to guess, play Prior or Redman as a 'tall' defender given injuries and Johnson plays on the worst small-medium forward.

 

[naraku]

Excited to see Zak get his shot.
He will be a rising star nominee within a month.

 

[windyhill]

Let's go Zak !!

 

[Donflicted]
