Alex Johnson got a mention on AFL 360 tonight. Luke Beveridge acknowledging his role in the development of mini bont(Freijah) as one of the VFL coaches( I think he's development coach ).
Also said we're going to be difficult to beat the rest of the year.

AJ is a legend and would've been the Captain , trust me

Happy 44th Birthday to Tadgh today
Saw his 1st game for Port Melbourne with my little fella against Essendon and i said to son remember this Irishman after he blind turned a bomber in pouring rain and hit his target. I love talking about those days
 
Still makes me sad how his bloody knees cruelled his career.
I wonder if he'd still be playing if not for the injuries. He could have been our last premiership hero standing 😞 but alas, not to be.
Kinnear once said that AJ was the player we were going to build our whole defence around. He saw him as a potential future captain.

Still one of the more emotional and touching photos I’ve seen:

Nic Newmans realisation he’s done it again post game vs the dees

I was there that day and he was to the left of me when he went to ground. The crowd was silent from shock once they realised what had happened ☹.
Was this the same day Heeney took MOTY on Hogan’s head?

If so, I was there too.. Heeney’s mark was a massive high and AJ doing his knee a massive low.. I remember seeing him out in Richmond or somewhere afterward enjoying a quiet beverage..

Yes it was and knowing some of the family , they were a mess
 
Really nice, long piece on Brandon Jack, who’s followed up his excellent memoir 28 with his first novel, Pissants.

Thanks for posting it SB. Seems the boys and parents have kissed and made up (except with the middle brother). Grandchildren fix everything.
