Re: Johnson makes his decision - Collingwood (according to Channel 10)

I'm sorry but too many people on this board rate Chris Tarrant FAR TOO HIGHLY!...tell me what this guy has done that even points to us giving up Kelly (once seen as a future elite midfielder in the comp) and Johnno (the guy who I believe has the most talent and ability to read the play at our club behind Chappy and Jnr).....Tarrant is from Collingwood so he immediately has a high profile...but i cant say ive ever seen this guy as any better that a "good ordinary player"....if we swapped kell and johnno for tarrant....i would be absolutely shattered.

While I wouldn't be 'shattered', I agree that Tarrant is not that good. It was only a thought that it MAY happen, as it had been thrown around earlier as a possible option. I think Tarrant is a good leading forward, but the positives do not go close to the negatives of having him around.
I'd rather see Kelly given a chance to respond to the crap year he's had.

Not sure if the second necessarliy happens after the first. Plenty of blokes are fathers and boozers.

I think the Swans may think twice about taking any Geelong player after their great pick up in Sarge Chanmbers last year.

Re: Johnson makes his decision - Collingwood (according to Channel 10)

Yeah, it could go either way...
SJ could get a fright out of this and pull his finger out and play a blinder next year... or he could figure that because Cats rejected an offer of pick28 that they think he is worth quite a bit and he develops even more arrogance. Which way will it go??
:eek:

Re: Johnson makes his decision - Collingwood (according to Channel 10)

i thought channel 10 said Hawthorn had entered the race for s.johnson and that they were his preferred destination??

I'd absolutley love Stevie J at the hawks. I rate him very highly. :thumbsu:

Just wondering whether you would do a straight swap for him. Johnson for pick 12.

Have to admit, I was one calling for Johnson to get the chop after all the nonsense with the 06 VFL grand final, the drunken rubbish, then the arrest. When Collingwood pulled out of that trade I thought we would be stuck with this white elephant for another 12 months, but I have never been happier to say I was wrong. Hope he can consolidate it next season, and become one of the truly elite.
