Out of he and Johnson, the only one who has had a very good Afl game is Erasmus and he did that playing wing. I liked him as a forward as a junior but they see him as an inside mid who can play minutes on the wing at Afl level. His greatest strength is his tank and that can best be utilised in the midfield. Unfortunately, like many of our midfield players, Erasmus has lost most of his forward craft
We get it you hate Johnson getting tired of reading your shit calls on him
Fair enough. Use the block button. Looks like he will get a chance to play his preferred position this week and show his true value. I don't hate him, just don't understand the double standards. Ross did the same thing and eventually it causes issues. He has done nothing better than Erasmus as yet and he certainly isn't Brodie standard yet. Watch Erasmus ' game against Sydney and see for yourself. This is a forum for opinions. Sorry if I don't just swallow everything the coaches say and do without some debate. Doesn't mean I'm right but it is worth throwing out there.
Because Johnson is a huge unit and will mature into the big bodied player we need like a Bontempelli. He's only 20, so pretty much still a kid learning his trade. Erasmus is a completely different player. I personally don't believe it's beneficial for 'supporters' to slam someone so young.
I would like to see us use one spot on our list to develop players on a rotation. That would mean Johnson would play when he has played well at wafl level and earned his spot and Erasmus would also be given Afl time when he is playing well. Even someone like Stanley could be given minutes. Playing Johnson every week seems ridiculous to me especially when Brodie is the much better player for the now. We can't keep living in the future. We need to play most of our best team now, give or take a space or two. Brodie could also take some of the load off Fyfe.b
Those are hideously boring changes after a 70 point loss. No forced changes
Might not be. Justin did say one maybe two of the Peel midfielders may get a gig. But i doubt it. More a warning shot if the midfield drops away again. Agree with you. That is soft if it happens that way.
Sharp had 4 the whole bloody game.
Fair enough. Kinda why I think both should be rotated through to get equal development in the Afl side. Imo Johnson has as much to work on as Erasmus but gets to do it all at the highest level while the other is playing wafl each week. Whether good, bad or indifferent in performance. Don't get it personally.
He will be replacing a player whose kicking is just as bad. Neil has actually improved his kicking a lot. I haven't noticed whether Johnson,'s has. Last time I looked he just kicked strait to the opposition 60% of the time but has kicked a couple of nice goals. Ras had one poor kicking game before the bye, other than that he has been much improved
So after every loss like last week, we throw the baby out with the bath water!!!!!
Yeh this needs to be improved. Sometimes they get their hands on it first but an errant handball here and there or one to many handballs they cough it up
