Brad Johnson is now an embarassment

[Ant_]

Aker was right.

I wonder what else he was right about re: this joke of a club.

One premiership each in the AFL. Guess your club is a joke as well?

26 wooden spoons says his club is beyond joke.

 

[Tom12]

If he's in there best 22 in the state he's in I'm asking some serious questions of the Bulldogs.

 

[drewie_rama]

people who are saying he's an icon of the game and it was typical collingwood to boo him blah blah blah, no matter who you are or what you've done, if a Hird, Archer, Kirk and these blokes had done what johnno did last night that should have rightfully been boo'd as well. Constant sniping behind play and continual staging for free kicks was a disgrace

 

[Dazb86]

Eade 101.

Go with the tried and trusted even if they are carrying an injury or terribly out of form.

Sometimes he amazes me with his selections. I'd prefer a kid given a task ie: defensive forward than have a half fit Johnson/Higgins limping around proving ZERO defensive pressure.

Doesn't help when you have no depth at all. Wasn't Tim Callan your first emergency coming into the game. can only play who you have

So a couple of little bumps is classed as sniping in today's game? Precious much?

Moles, Everitt were the other 2 I believe. I thought Timmy Callan played pretty well FWIW.

Edit: Actually I think it was Hooper not Everitt.

 

[Reckoner Tiger]

Such a fall from grace.
Superstar player, unstoppably resilient, and now he has faced a terrible choice this final series.
Last gasp for him as a player to get a flag, and is the captain, but shouldn't have put his hand up last night.
They can't play him next week, but can they really not, after what they did to Scott West?

he constantly gave cheap shots to blokes shepherding, it was steven bakeresque the stuff he was doing

 

[Bulldog1954]

Jesus christ Johnson was bad but anyone who thinks he was giving "cheap shots" and "sniping" can't be all there in the head or has never seen a game of football.

Johnson was also far from our worst (more an indictment on the rest then a reflection on Johnsons game)

been to about 30 games this year

in terms of all there in the head- ask my shrink

OK if that is the case then he'll be up for suspension at the MRP.

What a load of tripe.

 

[PalaceGun]

That would do Eade and the selection committee a favour...

 

[CATTERS09]

johnno has been a star of the game and is desperate to help the dogs win a flag - everybody should back off him considering he aint fully fit and the teams depth isnt great

 

[just a line monkey]

He is a pathetic joke, cant even get near the ball and all the ability he has left is playing for a free, typical western bulldog player who can't let go i.e. Scott West (what a embarassment).

You didn't just embarrass yourself right there...

 

[stevebull]

He is obviously not fit and hasn't been all year. Him & eagleton have gone on a year to long.

Makes you wonder if it was their self interest & leadership/years at the club that drove the whole aker thing as it was these 2 who aker was competing for a spot with & for all the other s**t aker brings i'd still rather him than either of those 2 in any game of football.

The 1 thing that stuck out for me with aker when he first got chopped was when he said that another player had told him the had a meeting called by johnson regarding aker & aker had to phone johnson to ask him if it was true, after johnson had been apparently preaching to aker about openess & honesty. This for me is what aker should focus on when discussing johnson not the bitter washed up stuff but the lack of character in the man.

At least you knew when B Kirk fronted the media re B Hall that he had at least said all that & more to Hall face to face.

 

[Art Corvelay]

Brad Johnson has ben a champion servant to his club

The bronx cheering and booing he copped last night was disgraceful

I'm not a Johnno fan at the best of times (although I can acknowledge he's a champion Bulldog), but seeing as he couldn't get a touch last night, he seemed intent on roughing blokes up - sure sign of desperation. That's why people were getting stuck into him. I've got no issue with the niggle, but it just seemed so... "put on" by him it was pretty funny. Pies players didn't seemed fussed by it at all!

 

[Mr Smiff]

Sad to see such a champion reduced to this. Hopefully he can lift and justify his spot for next week.

It'll be his last hurrah.!



Wonder what Acker will say.?

 

[Syd]

FWIW, I think Jonno was just a little rusty and should be the 1st guy picked for next weeks game.

 

[Lazyboy]

He needs to announce his retirement, simple really.. If he goes on next year it will be a disaster for the dogs.. They need new leadership and a few fresh faces around the place..

 

[crownie]

i'd still pick him ahead of Leon Davis.

talk of damning someone with faint praise.

Did Doggies "coach" give you your "Yellow card"??????
