How good was paul johnsons run down!!

Featured Replies

Excellent moment.

The look on his face just before running Sherman down - "Gotcha [censored]"

 

Inspirational bit of play that was! He's doing it regularly now too. Great signs from big PJ who is having a great year. How good was the crowd also?! The sound from the members wing was amazing yesterday. Kudos to us all :D

 
It was Green who said it.

I've been PJ bandwagon member #1 since '05 (don't believe me? check my posts :)) and saw him play juniors, and not even i knew that he was in the top 5 at the club for speed! I knew he was quick for a big man, but not that quick...

Not to take anything away from PJ, who looks really quick over 50+ metres, but we really must have a slow list...

Jump in the queue Doggo. Its not PJ it's High Tower too.

High Tower... u've been posting here a week and you're telling me to jump in the queue? <_< haha

I might not post much, but i've always been and always will be, member #1 of the PJ/High Tower bandwagon!!!! :lol::lol:

I've been talking him up for years on here mate... Ask anyone...


From people i know,who know PJ, they have said he always had a lack of confidence in himself.

It seems like he is starting to see himself as a real player now.

He is really attacking the ball and the man, and showing he has skill, not only agility.

By the way, if Sherman was smart, he should have changed direction and headed off to the side, PJ most likely would have run by him, and Sherman could have gotten away.Not that i am compaining, i was inspired by the play.

The running goal by Miller in the first quarter demonstrated what i mean, he was running to goal and Patful was on his tail, Brad cut in and changed direction and Patful was gone. (was happily surprised by this piece of Miller's play, did not think he could do that)

On The Couch... They pumped up his tyres a HEAP...

That one act on Sunday would have made his trade price jump from about pick 60 or so, up to about 20 something (draft pick). Coaches would have salivated at a ruckman who can play forward that has that kind of pace and work ethic, and can drill them from 55. In his early twenties, he's gonna be attractive come trade time.

Not that I'd trade him. The guy has a future, those that backed him, take a bow... but only after Hightower takes one.

His about as untradable as Brad Green and Brock McLean IMO.

Hes versatile, and one of the only tall forwards we have at the moment.

 
Absolutely fantastic. Similar to his run down against Sydney last year (or was it the year before) when he broke his collarbone. Gives his all - that's all you can ask for.

It was better than that.

He kicked the ball forward then - realising that it was in open space - chased down his own kick, arriving at the same moment as a Swan, dived on the loose ball = season ending shoulder injury.

Later, 50m penalty against Rivers for (cough cough) not throwing it straight back, Cameron Bruce match winning snap (again) = season back on track = finals appearance.

We were 0-3 going into that game. That entire 2006 season owes itself to PJ's glorious moment at the SCG that afternoon.

Couple that with his chase down on Sunday - cometh the hour cometh the man!!

The gutsiest part of that play IMO, was that he contested the next boundary throw-in with a dislocated shoulder. He was right next to the interchange gate, and could have come off straight away but a replacement wasn't ready, so he contested and won the hitout, before coming off. That's tough and selfless.

How bout how he broke his hand in the 1st quarter against the Cats in round 3, but went onto to have 19 disposals, 12 hitouts and be one of our better players for the match? Unbelievable determination.

Truly inspirational stuff.

i have to admit, i didnt thnk johnson would get him... but god it was a great chase!

who did he chase by the way??

A guy named Justin Sherman

i work in a hospital, at my counter i have my demon sticker (cos i dont have a car to put it on), on monday as patients came to my counter some would say you must be happy after yesterdays game to which i said of course i am...one patient who was sitting in the waiting area reading the age asked me for a scissors which he returns with the 3 pics of paul johnsons chase saying you might want to put this up....he was a collingwood supporter

A guy named Justin Sherman

plays for the Brisbane Lions doesn't he? I wonder if he's the bloke in that picture. Who's the big guy in red and blue who looks like he's chasing him or something :P

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
