AFL Player 40: Zak Johnson

[VelvetSledge]

 

[JT_the_Man]

I liked the look of him. Keep him in.

 

[Ambrosia]

Merrett was butchering it out of defence in space, if only Johnson had the same time and space to dispose

Yeah you'd think we could have subbed the injured bloke

 

[carloss]

 

[MiguelM]

Keep him in IMO.

He can kick!!

Also give the option of having Roberts play up the ground a bit which he was fantastic against Lions.

 

[ghostdog]

Should have been Perkins subbed

Or Durham.

Yeah loved that move. Roberts up the ground gave us better contests and tackling pressure up there.

Will be very disappointed if he doesn’t stay in. That lace out kick to Caddy was a sign of things to come. He struggled with the pace early but looked at home as the game progressed. Pick 70!

 

[jannissary]

he looked below the level in the first quarter but built into it excellently. some precise long kicking

Probably just nervous , but yes, he did come into the game excellently.

 

[Laverdeee]

has to stay in the side, our defence looked much more balanced and potent on the attack

 

[yehhhhbra]

Is going to be a very good player for a long time!

 

[jannissary]

has the juice, looked very nice tonight.

 

[TheFrenchCut]

He has the kicking ability that the club seems to think Nic Martin has.

 

[Vander18]

Liking what I’m seeing.

Has some northern suburbs toughness to go with A grade kicking.

 

[ant555]

He has the kicking ability that the club seems to think Nic Martin has.

Agree. Johnson has a real ability to put the ball in a small window.

 

[Petrify]

Bright future. He's genuinely a good kick, like Clarke and Martin.

 

[naraku]

This will be asked a lot in the future: How did he get to a pick in the 70s.

Absolute rolls-royce, jet, gun. Whatever you prefer, Zak is a star in the making.

 

[BomberTime]

Like him. Stays in for a while.

 

[Nuggs Bunny]

I love that he can kick and mark, and I love that Angus Clarke can also kick and mark, and I love that we picked them both up this year.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

18 touches at 83% from only 67% game time.

 

[andleanback]

Really good take from him. Has gears in his kicking, and can really put a ball where he wants. Asset in our backline. Still has a few things in his game to sort out, but I’m liking what he brings.

He can drill it, weight it - whatever is required to find the target.

We’ve had so few players with A grade ability by foot, it really stands out!

 

[ghostdog]

It's amazing how comfortable I am with such a younger player being in possession of the ball. Quality kicking should be a minimum standard.
When the back line gets back together he be a real weapon.

Yep exactly what I’m seeing.

 

[Vindicater]

Takes kick ins for the next ten years.
