Kicked straight at goal tonight.

His field kicking was...well I'm lost for words on how to describe it. He'll offer us something, but he's not going to be Matthew Lloyd Mark II.

Completly agree with you, Jonhs kicking outside the 50 area was just.... Too bad for words actually.
 
Put him in our side of 2000 and he'd do all right. He can definitely take a mark on the lead, just a matter of having the delivery and structure.
 
played well in a very ordinary side tonight. put him in a team thats playing well and has confidece and he will be very handy. needs to be played as much as possible to gain experience and just needs the other key players around him so he is not taking one of the best defenders. could be dangerous on the oppositions third tall defender in the future
 
I'm giving him the rest of the year before I make my judgment on him. He has missed a lot of years of football. His rate of improvement over the journey of this year will be the key. At least tonight it was a very (and i mean very very) small step forward for him. As long as he keeps improving a little bit each game I will be happy.

"The Predator" is a big strong unit - and appears to be a dead eye :D:D:D:D set shot. Agree he looks a little one dimensional ATM....but the below the knees work in general play will come - I definately think he is worth persisting with
 
Cant believe Johns was put on Hentschel in the last quater. It was ridiculous. The bloke should be left at full forward to develop there. He needs games and we need to see if he has a future.
 
Johns to full back?

I guess some would like to say we don't have the cattle, but John's to full back is another stupid Sheedy move.

Bring on 2008 and some fresh blood (in the coaching box).

perhaps he was getting cold standing at Full forward waiting for the ball to come down there....

the game was over at half time.... it is then a good coach experiments and see what lil battles can be one.. to mix it up a little.. it was always the case we were going to loose just by how much was the question, i think stanton should play HB flank or wing.. he provides good run off the backline into the forward line, good speed and good ball carrying ability... and please explain.. hille in forward line.. why not have him run the game?????
 
Johns to Full back in last Quarter didn't bother me, for hopefully it would give him a different feel for the Game, which will help him when he is back at Full Forward.

He is only 21. I gave him a Vote this week, he took 2 good grabs, kicked a nice Goal, sure his field kicking was poor, but I suspect the Skills were left at the Airport (Melbourne Airport) No Bomber could be pleased with that performance, sure Johnson did a bit, only a small bit
 
If people are writing off Courtney already then they clearly know nothing about football. Everyone knows big guys develop slower than smalls. And when you're trying to develop at Full Forward in a struggling team, of course it's going to be hard. I sit in the pocket at Telstra Dome and both times I've been impressed with his leads and his positioning. It's the fact that the midfield don't kick it to him that is hurting him. 3 times in the Port game I saw him on the lead 5 metres ahead of his opponent, yet the midfielder with the ball didn't kick it to him. Dissapointing.

He played Hird at Full-Back when the kid had played about 12 games.

He turned out alright.

Method to the madness.
