Credible source says Jhonson has quit Collingwood already, now, gonsky.

Would explain why he has dissapeared into thin air.

Well done Mick, driven another one away. I wonder if we will get anything for him or will he become another williams. :eek:

Christ, I keep hearing this.

A real bloody shame if true. One of the few players on our list that I like and have always liked.

Bloody hell.
I prey the info is wrong but I have bad feeling about it.

Would have to be one of my favourites to and really one of the most consistant over the years. If we loes him it will kill me to see him going well at another club. :(

good little, hard player johnson

Hopefully there is something better on offer with pick 1 in the PSD but if not he would be welcome down at Carlton to run around with his good mate Heath :D

Still has a year to run on his contract yeah??

If this is all true then good riddance. No one player is bigger than the club. We can certainly trade for him and hopefully pick up someone of worth. Perhaps bundle together for example johnson + lockyer/davis, and pick up an A/B grade player if any are on offer/looking for a move come october.

That said if its another one of those "rumours" i'd be more than happy to keep him. I think he will feature prominently in our midfield plans for seasons to come.

what would the reason be anyway?

Big Footy isn't a source, but there have been several threads on Ben Johnson, 1 featured in the AFL Board 2-3 weeks ago saying he has quit, so I believe it may be true, and why not!

Ben Johnson has been my favourite player since he debuted that HOT and HUMID Monday afternoon against Hawthorn in 2000 (if my memory serves me right) and pretty certain that he kicked 3 goals in that match, his debut. Has been great since, wearing the no.26, formaly Rowdy's number and I just hope someone else fills that jumper the same way, without the quitting.

He's had a crap year after getting injured in about Rnd eight. Needs to get away from the club for a short while, clear his head, and remember what a great club Collingwood is and how it can be a great club again, and how he can be a great leader in our revival.

Have a good holiday BJ, and come back to the club full of fire in the belly. The best way to show the coaches what you think of them is to perfom, not to quit.

I was at that game too. I think Josh and Leon also debuted that day as well.

I hope he stays. His skills have improved significantly and he took some real steps last year to become a very good player. He barracked for the Pies as a kid and idolised Gavin Brown, so if he wants to leave, he must really be ********ed off at someone.
