Petition to remove Johnson from midfield

["The Roar Is Back"]

Agreed but please add Tivendale and Hyde to the banned list.

Should the petition be just the midfield or the team?

I agree all 3 are, at best, back up players at this stage of their careers. For them to miss out though I think we have got to find a couple of defenders and another one or two mid to tall genuine forwards, to allow king and newman to play in the midfield and brown and lids to have sperts in the midfield.
Which funny enough it could all fall into place, if Moore continues, raines returns to his back pocket , as does Polak to half back, and we rotate JON, Casserly, Rance and Connors off a back flank, during the year.
I reckon Morton, Reiwoldt showed enough and if Collard continues and Schultz can improve as expected, they will provide the forward options.
The otherthing is of course a couple mentioned are rookies ??

He would sit somewhere between the 25th and 30th best players at the club for mine. Disgraceful for a captain.

In terms of usefullness in the midfield, theres maybe 15 guys ahead of him. Coughlan, Tuck, Connors, Edwards, Cotchin, Foley, Deledio, McMahon, King, Newman, Tambling, Jackson, Polo etc... even guys like Brown, Bowden and Pettifer would probably do a better job.

I'm, certainly not going to argue that Johnson is worthy of a midfield slot, just that I do rate him ahead of Hyde and Tivendale in the centre - only just ahead. I'd also add that we can't assume the value of a number of the blokes you mention above, because we haven't seen them in the centre enough (or at all, or how hey've recovered from injury) in order to judge.

We hope they'll be better, but that's all we have at this stage. I do agree that we have nothing to lose trying them there, though with blokes like Cotchin and Edwards I wouldn't be putting them into the midfield until they're physically ready.

I can tell you now that Polo, Foley, Tuck, Newman, Cogs and Jacko are better than Johnson.
