Brissy wanted him, but not enough to spend a main list spot on him. THey would have taken him as a f/s rookie if he had gone undrafted today.

They had a bit of a squeeze on main list spots.

Dodorro said he will go straight on the injured for the year list so we will pick another player straight away to replace him
Sneaky move :+1:

Agree good use of the system.

Wait, did he play for Calder Cannons one year and Oakleigh the next?? If so, why? Just as simple as his folks moving house and it being easier to get to training?

I only remember 2 really telling moments in Chris Johnson’s career.

  1. When he was co-captain and went postal on field against the Irish.
  2. Apologies to Mercuri who was playing on one leg, but when Johnson ran back with the flight and outmarked Mercs in the 2001 GF.

Lachlan looks ok in the highlight clips.

Yeah I think this is being underestimated. We essentially got him on lay-by rehabbing with us and we can use his list spot on a bloke like Townsend or whomever is this year’s Sydney Stack in the supplemental selection period (how we got Zac Clarke). Really creative list management by AD.

He’s a dead ringer for his dad. Jeez that makes me feel old.

I think he’ll play mid long term, he’s good at getting the hard ball

I believe so. When the gws guy was crying about him being eligible for our academy, one of the things he said was that they’d moved, so he didn’t even live in our zone any more.

Yeah, ok, that’s pretty good loopholing.

Johnson likes it hard?
