#40 - Zak Johnson

Can any of you blitz wizards put together a highlight montage of his game this week?

Gone from a nobody to a future Hall of Famer with kids getting his number on his back.

Jason Johnson crunched John Blakey like a freight train in the 2000 night grand final. Knocked him into 2001. Set the stage for the year to come.

I love that he does that over the shoulder running handball, Finn Callaghan style, he’s the master at it.

Finn Callaghan showed what the reports were all about last night.

Im confused how a guy that is apparently a good user of the ball and has no trouble finding the footy drops to pick 70.

What were the main knocks on his game that had him slide this low?
If you can find the footy 30 times in your first vfl game, and are a known good user of it then you shouldnt really have any issues eventually playing Afl.

Noob explained earlier that he started in the midfield in his top age u18 year and didn’t perform well, struggling a bit in the contested side of the game.

If he’d been played purely as a half back maybe he would have been perceived differently

Makes sense, thank you.

He didn’t get any midfield time in the championship matches so was behind plenty in first couple of rounds then Clubs likely go needs and was a deep draft, potentially where the trade with Dees might help us if our later picks come good.

He has leadership, good skills, decent height, flexibility - can play half back or half forward and a goal kicking midfielder there’s lots to like. Seems to have good footy IQ too.

Does anyone know what position he was playing on the weekend?

I believe cjohns said half back

Who is #65 in this these videos?

Impressive highlights. I like the look of Zac
