Johns Gone

Good luck big fella, can not say Essendon didn`t give him a chance, very lucky to last as long as he did. Big lump, fairly good mark, erratic kick absolutely shithouse below his knees. Wonder how mark robinson will cope, he wrote two fawning articles on him early in his career which were pretty un-fair on the boy. Sent some Essendon` supporters expectations sky-rocketing, but what else would you expect from an ordinary journalist ?

Good luck to the kid. I think everyone here wishes him the best. It wasnt because he didnt try that he never made it.

Looks like he wont be taken in draft. thought he may have been worth a risk???

Norwood made the finals this year but had an inconsistent season. They should improve next year and have a reputation for securing former ALF players (Simon Phillips and Steven Doyle were a couple of pick ups last year). He should fit in well with their forward line, especially if Taylor Walker finds himself in Crows' colours for most of the year.

Its an excellent competition with great support so he should enjoy it.

After watching Norwood a couple of times this year, I reckon Walker won't wear Norwood colours again, so Big Johnsy will be a straight swap.

Good luck to him, I reckon he'll ragdoll quite a few defenders in the SANFL!!!
