Ever since his return to the Melbourne side in round 12, Chris Johnson has blossomed from half-back, growing in confidence every match.

In round 13, he quelled the influence of key Sydney forward Ryan O'Keefe, following up with a career-best 33 disposals in Melbourne's stunning one-point win against the Brisbane Lions. In his past four rounds, Johnson has accumulated 108 touches, at an average of 27 touches per match.

I cant believe people suggested trading him!! :angry:

Sure he gets heap of touches, but it's what you do with it that matters.

If he uses it effectively, and can competently hit a target, then he gets another contract.

Sounds like he's been one of our 'good news' stories for the year.

It feels so good when my strong strong faith is rewarded, only doubted him once (after nth game) but two days later I was back supporting him. Perfect for our teams gameplan.

I love being wrong as well (re Garland) but it feels better when you were on from the start.

Lets just hope he continues this way.

He has definately been hitting targets, just look at his efficiency rating, I think his skills are his best asset.

He could be more damaging though, thats the next step for him, needs to be able to push up and set up/kick goals.
