Player Watch Ash Johnson (Delisted 2025)

[Kirby]

I don't think I've seen Krueger clunk an overhead mark at senior level. He flies high but double grabs and fumbles. The same can be said for his ground skills. He seems very fumbly and kamikaze. Some poise is required.

So, what you’re saying is that he’s competing with Cox for a spot in the side?

That reminds me of the famous exchange between the playwright George Bernard Shaw and the glamorous dancer Isadora Duncan on the topic of producing a child together. Duncan told Shaw he had a magnificent brain and she had a glorious beauty - the combination would yield a remarkable child. Shaw regretfully replied “My dear, I fear the result would be my beauty and your brains”.

It reminds me of Hawk Hawkins

Even Jarryd Blair is competing with Cox for a spot in the side……

You won't use Intensity when Explaing AJ Playing

Why Ash isnt in the team -

 

[3rdMan]

He was picked for seniors after this.

 

[pablo disco bar]

I like him in the 23 but unless injury unfortunately he had been pushed out

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Needs to build the tank so he can apply forward pressure and get to more contests.

Is it me or not

Not an uncommon curse, I feel.

Not an uncommon curse, I feel.

Been injured in every game latley

 

[PIEWITHSAUCE]

Been injured in every game latley

Prior to his injury on the weekend I was thinking his intensity might've taken a turn for the better - he was getting stuck in.

There need to play well for a Bigger Contract can make Players drop there Intensity

 

[Bianconeri]

Time to announce himself now

 

[domus]

Time to announce himself now

Looks very keen and fit this preseason already.

 

[Aussie pie]

A spot has opened up for AJ now with Dan out, it’s time to grab and keep the spot up forward. He’s amazingly talented just needs to not go missing so often.

McStay injury? What's wrong now?

ACL at training today. Unlucky.

Johnson needs to play close to goal

He is spectacular.

but doesn't have a tank.

Thats a easy fix mate. Looks to have come back in tip top shape and ready to fire.

Gee whiz, opening this thread and seeing some of the comments on page 1 hahahaha. Callow didn't get much of a go but something tells me 2 games in 1 1/2 years for 0.7 he wasn't very good. Johnson kicked 3 back to back games before being dropped this year. Think we picked the right player contary to the experts opinions..

My money is on this guy kicking butt and taking names in '24.

He will be stronger, have more experience & self-belief, and the connection he will develop with this year's Norm Smith medallist are some of the reasons for my thinking.

This amazing transformation started when he bought a 16kg kettlebell.

Went OK in '23 but didn't finish as strongly as we/he would have liked.

Kicked 3 goals twice then got dropped; arguably, that was a tough decision.

He has talent in spades, but would want to keep building on the potential he has put on display. As does every other young player in the club.
