Toast Alex Johnson

[Bonz]

He was brilliant yesterday.

Cool, composed and Courageous!!!

Can't wait to see what he is like with another year or two under his belt!!!

 

[tintin]

any chance of johnson going forward?

i wouldnt mind seeing him tried there just for that change up when things arent going well for the team.

reads the play well and can mark and field kicking is pretty good so he has the right attributes

 

[AG]

I'd leave him in defence because he has been fantastic since debut. No reason to move him yet.

Maybe one day he'll become a bit of a utility player like a Robert Murphy but he looks set for 200+ games in defence.

 

[bedford]

They are grooming him for CHB, but he was a forward at TAC level

 

[.Shotties.]

After another viewing of his last quarter, wow. Three cut offs, a few smothers. Everywhere.

 

[SOPH_CROSS]

So calm under pressure and his attack to play on out of defence was amazing

I still think he has a funny kick but the kid is amazing

 

[bloodsbigot]

Amazing that he's only 20 and played such a vital part in our premiership team.

 

[swansboy]

Imagine him in 3 or 4 years he will be a gun of the competition. He looked like nothing fazed him on saturday, amazing composure. I like Grundy, but this guy will go well past him if he is being groomed for the CHB role.

 

[shadowfeet]

was great on Saturday, and across this season overall. love him, and love the fact he seems like such a character too

 

[BarneyBent]

He has some real toe and attacking flair too. He really is a gem.

 

[disgruntled goat]

Exactly. Why move him now???

Sensational, surely the most composed 20-year-old in the competition. It's highly amusing to hear the commentators (yes, you, Bruce) fawning over the likes of AJ and Nick Smith, like they've just discovered them.

 

[qqaaxx]

I thought last week was good, then he backs it up with that performance? Wow.

What a star

 

[PVF]

Had a fantastic game on Saturday. Thought he'd be in the running for Norm Smith after his first half.

I'm excited to see what he can become in the future.

 

[The King!]

Gun, i remember his debut thinking who is this skinny runt, geez he is awesome though.

Pick 57, how did he get so low

 

[JimmySwan]

Rohan, Ried, Hannebery, Parker, Mitchell, Johnson, Jetta, Pick 22 the future is looking very bright.

 

[DeadlyAkkuret]

I'm already assuming pick 22 will be a 250 game elite midfielder, because that's just how we roll.

 

[swansfan51]

I'm pretty sure that's not how we roll... have you actually seen our history with 1st round picks?

 

[S120]

Hmm. Whoever we pick in the 3rd round probably fares a better chance of making 200 games.

 

[bedford]

Was Alex Brown one of those

 

[swansfan51]

It might be our 2nd this year with lower picks, but yeah pencil in someone between 35-60 for an immediate spot in the best 22

 

[Membling]

so far it's been AJ, Reid, Parker and Hanners from memory. Also Goodes and ROK are products of the late picks.

 

[S120]

Malceski, Bird were both relatively low draftees too in the ND.

 

[TripleB]

Malceski, Bird were both relatively low draftees too in the ND.

Bird doesn't count because he was a priority pick of some sort, so the position is irrelevant. Eski was in the 60's from memory, so a great get for sure...

 

[The King!]

Bird doesn't count because he was a priority pick of some sort, so the position is irrelevant. Eski was in the 60's from memory, so a great get for sure...

Nsw pick or something trained with us year before i think

Scholarship holder i think
