Toast Welcome to Fremantle Matthew Johnson (pick 21 2021 AFL Draft)

[estibador]

That's probably the best highlights clip of all three of our new boys I reckon. He does some lovely work in traffic.

 

[estibador]

Amazing. 10/10 drafting, couldn't be more thrilled

10/10 for the sweet tunes on the highlights vids this year too.

He made his WAFL league debut for Subiaco in Round 5 and managed three league games for the year and also dominated a WAFL reserves final with 27 disposals (18 contested), nine clearances and three tackles to help his side qualify for the grand final.

Thanks Gold Coast

So that trade at the moment looks like
Will Brodie and the earliest possible second round pick with two 4 rounders for an unknown second round pick and an unknown fourth round pick. Oh yeah. The guy we got with the traded pick 19 that was taken at 21 was rated in the top ten by quite a few clubs including us according to rumours.

GC is the gift that keeps on giving. Thanks also for Baeshaw.

Welcome MJ!

Those higlights are so Mundy. The kicks don't look like ridiculous lasers but they hit the space in front of his team mates every single time.

Just so important with players like Amiss and Treacy to have guys like this in the middle.

 

[silverscope]

The last M.Johnson to play for Freo ended up with 240+ games and was a star of the club. No Pressure but how good is it to have an MJ in our team again!

(no not Mark, Michael.)

Gold Coast the gift that keeps on giving.

Seriously wanted this kid and thought we missed our chance. * yeah

Love me some Baeshaw.

‘Flattening’ to ‘unreal’: Docker’s emotional rollercoaster

From a draft nightmare to a ‘dream come true’, Matt Johnson’s whirlwind 24 hours has ended on a purple high.

I'm not crying, you're crying.

 

[masai tu]

I hope Mundy gives him the first call

Hi Matty mate, can you do me a favour, ........ like to do some babysitting ?.

It’s what’s called ingratiating yourself with the Timeless Stealth Lord.

 

[purplerunsdeep2]

Almost my favourite player we picked in the draft. Stoked to get him

Glad we have mundy for another year to teach him the way

 

[Pussinbootz]

Looking at that, you genuinely wonder if he did tell recruiters he didn’t want to leave WA and slid accordingly. Seems to be extremely close with his family which is beautiful to see

 

[Shadow Man]

Awesome, so happy for him.

 

[Dockeroo]

Welcome to freo Matt!!
Looks so classy in the highlights package. Exactly what we need in our midfield. Lovely foil to Brayshaw and Serong.

 

[rgauci]

Yes!!!!

 

[Bring back Drum]

Wow, how good is he in traffic? such composure with ball in hand.

Someone commented they were concerned he was a 1 position player, he
looked dangerous in the package playing forward & would be tough match up with his height & agility.

 

[Moo]

Gotta get him into #23

 

[Purple Jesus]

Gotta get him into #23

#37 imo

 

[Kepfan]

This guy is silk!
lanky, strong spider silk!

love his emotion, we just drafted a docker for life Yeeeeew!!!!

 

[Pussinbootz]

Can he start on a wing?

 

[Kepfan]

Can he start on a wing?

Nah half back imo...
