Can you guys see him playing after his club suspension is over?

And also your thoughts on him as a player.

With players like Nablett and Hawkings coming through will he feature when his suspension over?

He'll be straight back in. He has been dominating the VFL, playing better than he ever has and is fitter than he ever has been.

He is an impact player. He's the perfect foil to some strong key forwards like Mooney and Nathan Ablett.

Yeah, I think he'll come straight back in, providing his form isn't shocking in the twos.
Problem is though, it's not as cut and dry as it once was. With the key forwards now looking solid, and with newies like Varcoe and Stokes beginning to shine, SJ's 'assured' position isn't looking so definite anymore... which overall is a good thing!

 

[CF]

without a doubt he will be back if he keeps playing well in the magoos

If he keeps up his VFL form and doesn't do anything stupid he probably will come straight in in Rd7

And also your thoughts on him as a player.

Good player when he puts his mind to it.At times he can piss you off by farting around doing fancy arsed selfish things.

With players like Nablett and Hawkings coming through will he feature when his suspension over?

He's not competing for a spot with them.It's players like Gardiner and Varcoe he is competing with and he'd be a fair way ahead of them.

 

[Inferno]

He will replace Charlie Gardiner (thank god) as the medium forward.

 

[nananana catman]

He will replace Charlie Gardiner (thank god) as the medium forward.

On paper it sounds alright, but Gardiner is used as the lead up the ground forward. You dont want Johnson doing that, you want him.. doing whatever the hell he wants basically.

Who then performs Charlies role? I would suggest Nathan Ablett.

I hope you are right!

 

[JUBJUB]

This is news - Gardiner is a medium forward
I always wondered what he did

Agree with all that.

Mooney would be a better option since most opposition players run away when they realize who he is

SJ has been playing up the ground in the magoos and has been doing well at it from what I hear (I've only watched the Sandy match) so he should do alright.

 

[peterss]

So you are all saying he will come straight back in at round 7 once his suspension is over.......Do you think the coach will agree though and do it?

Yes definitely at this rate.

 

[cat in sydney]

Yes defiantly at this rate.

defiantly or definitely??

 

[peterss]

Anyone know where i can get VFL Stats from? What club does he play for

 

[Inferno]

My bad. Blame the spell check for making the words look too similar

 

[SJ]

Surprisingly, he plays for Geelong.

Like every Geelong AFL-listed player does.

It's not like the WAFL mate.

No, that's his role. He doesn't DO anything.

 

[And_ROOS]

If my information is correct he kicked 5 or so recently and looked in very good touch, id be happy to bring him back in to the team in a few weeks for Hawkins to have a bit of a break.

Because we can all see SJ crashing packs and taking strong marks on the lead?

 

[sarah.13]

Rd 7 : In Johnson Out Gardiner

 

[JUBJUB]

No, that's his role. He doesn't DO anything.

Sorry,I should've said that's what he's mean't to do

 

[geelong32]

wasn't his suspension to round 5 so he can play round 6 ?

for mine johnson comes straight back into the team, and is clearly in our best 22.

 

[kriso182]

Yeah ive been confused whether he is back round 6 or 7. All the talk in the media lately is he come back Round 6.

 

[sarah.13]

This ambiguity is a good thing,leaves the selectors room to move when it comes to deciding when suspension is up!!
