Where to for Brett Johnson

[bionicsasquach]

What do you feel will happen to Johnson? Started the year very well yet died significantly at the end. What does 2005 hold for him?

I'd say the same as for David Clarke. They need to take their chances when they get them or it'll be their last year at the Blues.

He is sooooo much further respected down at Carlton then Clarke.

Clarke is very lucky to still be there whilst Johnson played all but the last game of the season. His form did taper off a bit but he clearly has the ability (just needs to kick goals when he gets the chance a bit more and improve his disposal by foot).

Clarke on the other hand is one of the worst footballers I have ever seen. Yes he can run, but he's got NO idea where to run or what to do when he gets the footy (which isn't very often). I'm disgusted to see him still on our list.

i agree with ytou tottaly

he was up there with clearances midway during the year, Johnson had a top year, and will get better in 2005.

He's a clearance king which is more than I can say for any of our players bar Kouta. Can still be a vital part of our midfield but needs to demonstrate steady improvement. He is still young too so we need to give him time.

 

[Korn]

his centre clearances was good, but geez his disposal of the ball is the slowest in the AFL, he doesnt think fast enough, with Bentick and carazo being promoted, he's gonna struggle

 

[Funkalicous]

If he works on his fitness and gets a right foot, then he's got a future.

i did a comparison of all our midfielders i could think of from this year ... makes for interesting reading.

You should also remember that he was dropped for the last game because the MC wanted to give Carrazzo/Bentick a go in the middle.

Also note that before this year he'd never played 15 games consecutively and was also coming off the bench, this year he gets thrown in the middle and did well for someone who hasn't had lots of experience in the guts.

Needs to improve his right foot and try to pick up a bit of pace

 

[Arsene Wenger]

I think hes a handy player to have -- he will get games will he not ?

Not saying that the others can't get clearances, just that Brett is a master at it. Maybe his only redeeming skill actually. Plus it is all relative to the game time he gets.

 

[Abaddon]

very useful player.
Has to work on his strength and fitness as he couldn't play out entire games and faded towards the end of the season.
still have a fair bit of improvement in him.
