That’s pretty much what I meant.

So when you typed "Johnson's a matchwinner" you meant.... Johnson is NOT a match winner at the moment but he could be.

I have Brisbane and Geelong in mind. Cameron has murdered us in recent games and Howe has been his opponent. Frampton could take Hawkins and free Moore up to at least be able to help Howe out.
Howe will also have to take on Hipwood or even Forte if the Lions y go tall.
Bottom line, they pursued Frampton to fill a noticeable flaw in our defence and now we are playing the 2022 line up.

We have had the least points scored against us for the year, I don't think the selection or non selection of Frampton is going to be the difference, nice to have some back up though if we get an injury

 

[Scritchyscroony]

He kicked 4 last year against the Dees in a close fought one.

He's not a De Goey or Eliott type who'll win you a match off his own boot but he's a sure dangerous player to have prowling the forward line, and can make a big difference, mainly when it comes to being clinical inside 50.

No disagreement there.

 

[HFF]

Markov will be in the 23 albeit as sub.
Tough on Johnson but this was always going to be a problem at some stage with tough calls to make…across the ground too.

 

[Bianconeri]

Johnson is not a match winner either. 3 goals is his best haul to date. He's shown he can play at the level and be a good contributor. When has he even come close to being a match winner for us?

He could become one... but he ain't one now!

He scored 4 against Melbourne last season
