According to 10 news Essendon has told Courntey Johns that his service are no longer requied next year.
I am surpised that they told him so eariler but not surpised they got rid of him
 
C 10 on CJ

Hasn't has had any luck with injuries. The writing was on the wall before he did his knee.

It's only being reported by channel 10, EFC to confirm at season's end.
 
It's possible he may have wanted to know what his future was so knowing Knighter, he would be honest and tell him.

I've been a critic of his for years but no one could doubt his courage and work ethic to over come his hip injury and all the other set backs along the way.

If true, which would seem logical, all the best for your future CJ.
 
What sort of trade or drafts pick could we get for him? Is he worth anything? I think it is great if we can get something for him. Best delisting news since my fav bradley. =)

Sad. We will come across his name in perhaps 3, 5 or 10 years and think how injuries curtailed any chance of a successful career. Good luck to him for the future.
 
Yep I feel for the big fella, would have loved to have seen him pre-hip injuries. Good luck to him...
 
Good luck to CJ, If he doesn't get a new cub he will have fun in his career as he works as a spray artist on cars :) Something that I think alot of people would like to do!

much the same as mark johnson and kepler last year, nobody will give anything up for him if they know they can get him for free
 
not surprised but kinda disappointed, I know that "potential" word gets thrown around but injury free, he could have been anything

Spent so much time defending this bloke i have come to hold a big soft spot for him. Best of luck if true big fella :thumbsu:
 
some things just don't need to be said.

As to "anything" that's highly unlikely, lacked the ability to position himself amongst other things. I think he could have been a decent player without injuries nothing more than that though.
 
On the Footy Show they just said that Courtney Johns wanted to sue the vfl i think because of the state of TEAC oval and it being the reason he injured himself

Spot on, he showed a few glimpses of tearing games apart but just didn't tick enough of the boxes, including positioning at contests and the state of his body which isn't his fault, but it wasn't one to be admired in any way, shape or form. Good luck for your future aspirations Courtz. :thumbsu:

Even if that may involve suing us...

No doubt over his career did anyone question that he didn't have talent... The boy did!

Injury after injury, had set him back a lot and it just took tears out of his confidence and when he came back fighting he just got rejected once again by life... Good luck to him, in all seriousness I hope someone will pick him up once again, Melbourne badly need a BIG forward presence and he could be a rough candidate for them, obviously his injury's history list wont be looking too flash but he always had 'it' to play football and whilst at Essendon things just didn't go his way...

Best Wishes CJ...
