C.Johns , finally under the roof

[windyhill]

This is the one I`m waiting for, to see if he can play in perfect conditions at the highest level. If he can`t play under the roof , he can`t play.

 

[Darealrath]

What's a pass mark for him ? 2 goals ?

 

[Nuts4Bolts]

I'd say the pass mark for Johns is just to string 2 games together.

 

[Karlostj]

I'd say the pass mark for Johns is just to string 2 games together.

Yeah I'd settle for him stringing a few games together, 2 goals is a big ask for his first game. A few markes and serveral kicks will do me...

 

[Philzsay]

I would like to see him take a few marks and essentially at least be competetive when the ball goes near him.

 

[Crave]

Id like to see him bust a hole through an Eagles pack and take some of them out early. Assert himself and announce to the Bomber faithful that from the rubble stands a new breed of hero. Lets think if he's successful...we could all go to the footy wearing mops in honour of the possible new cult hero

 

[mikeula]

Reckon he is spewing that its a sunday game cos he cant visit his favourite haunt (One) this Saturday nite.

 

[blumfieldisback]

surely its another ploy like when he was named against the tigers, he still hasnt played much for bendigo since, i mean they had the bye last week.

why isnt lee being given a chance

 

[Bomberland06]

this is going to be the game, to see if johns has got what it takes to play at the highest level, i hope he does well and kicks a bagful of goals.


but we will have to wait till sunday to see if he has improved and show all the essendon what he is all about, he has been talked up for so long now its his time to show as what everyone has been saying over the past years that he is a possible club champion.

 

[koc#41]

Look out for;

Johns to announce himself to the AFL, by kicking a bag
Johns to knock out Judd!
Essendon to win!

 

[djharps]

Dont be suprised if he doesnt play!

 

[Longy413]

I think he'll play.

 

[DaSawx]

I think he can be a good contributor, that's if we kick well going into the F50.
He was looking good in the pre-season

 

[VANDA]

I think he'll play.

Me too.

 

[M29]

He's Rubbish.

Please spare me the 'oh he has come back from hip surgery' excuse. I doubt whether his zimmer frame got in the way of that simple chest mark he should have taken.

 

[Longy413]

So one dropped mark over shadows everything else he did?

 

[M29]

So one dropped mark over shadows everything else he did?

Yeah and the others he struggled with. Those 4 possessions were pure QUALITY.

VFL superstar at best. Can tackle, that's where it ends.

 

[S.C[BANKS]]

You, those 4 possessions were QUALITY. VFL superstar at best.

he palyed the defensive foward, also he lead every time on when the ball floats to essendons foward 50, the kid can also mark the ball. Courtney Jonhs will take some time to ajust. I think he needs a bit more confident and hell be alright. The west coast is a quality side, its normal for him to drop a couple easy mark because of west coast pressure but after that he got in the game and started contributing to the foward line.

 

[Longy413]

In his FOURTH game of footy he had four shots on goal, wasn't out marked, broke packs, got the ball to the ground, tackled and chased.

I'd say that's about as good as you can ask from a bloke playing his FOURTH game of senior footy on probably the 2nd best FB going around at the minute.

He's no Dermott Brereton...

He was 5 meters ahead of his opponent. For fooksake. Pressure my ARSE.

Very few have reached those standards.

You in for a lot of disapointment if you're hanging out for a forward to come in and make an impact like Dermie.

 

[S.C[BANKS]]

its his fourth game of senior football, again everyone in the side made mistakes like that in their careers at least ones. Take D. Cox for example, he drop an easy chest mark today, be patient hell come around just give him a bit more time.

Well then, better start writing to Mr Sheedy and Mark Robinson. I have been had!
