C.Johns. Ticks and crosses.

Can't think of a tall left footer we've had with Lloyd and Lucas, but Moorcroft was a left footer wasn't he?

Yeah all lefties.

100 years ago they would have been burned at the stake. FREAKS.

But I think they both can play together, might take some time to adjust. I guess the biggest concern might be that they are both left footers and would therefore they may both lead into each others space. But the great thing about Matthew Lloyd is he's very good at recognising when a teammate is in a better position. He's frequently sacrificed his own game in the past so we could isolate a match up that has better suited us.

Lloyd also wouldn't care where on the field he takes his set shots, he'd be confident of nailing it from anywhere, where as Courtney would tend to favour shooting from the right side, unless his confidence picks up significantly of course

Matthew McCarthy is 24 thus making him ineligible.

my mistake, must have misheard

"The winner must be under the age of 21 at January 1 of that year"

Johnsy started the year as a 21 year old. Based on that, he wouldn't qualify.

 

[Boris_Bewick]

Same reason Lovett didn't get a mention in the Rising Star last year, was 22.

Mate, get your hand off it.

Ever since his first game ive rated him, and thought against Geelong when i went to that match (with a mate i go for saints) that he will be good, LOADS of potential in there, and keep in mind he is doing this against 2nd best defender.... With Lloyd, Lucas and Johns as a 3rd tall on that 3rd best defender that looks really good.... Great mark on the lead, learning to time his leads better, puts on a great contest, kicked OK.. better than a certain blonde haired bloke at the saints...I reckon Johns will be a very valuable player

 

[Longy413]

better than a certain blonde haired bloke at the saints...

Just to be sure, you mean Fergus Watts right?

Might have been referring to Riewoldt's kicking. Still don't agree

kicked OK.. better than a certain blonde haired bloke at the saints

 

[Saint Corin]

hmm im tempted to say Nick... ive watched Johns with a close eye and he is every bit a decent kick for goal as nick at the least.... nick cant kick really, Johns missed some easy ones against freo but it ok mostly i thought, works really hard, hope he comes up this week against the saints

He was a bit unlucky not to kick a couple more with a few posters, but really should have slotted them. Looks like a good kid though from what I saw, took some good marks and presented well

I couldn't believe the anount of posters, maybe Subi's goal posts are thicker.

After Courtney's second easy miss, I yelled out to him, "you're not the messiah, you're just a very naughty boy", everyone around me cracked up laughing.
