Chris Johnson

Ghost
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

Just saw on the Carlton board on Bigfooty a thread titled "Chris Johnson - weak as [censored]." Seems the Blues fans arent thrilled with what they've seen so far from young Chris.

So much for those media 'experts' suggesting it reflected poorly on us as a club that Chris couldn't get a game for us yet was a 'certain starter' now that he was with the Blues.

I think we got this one right.

    I over heard a Carlton supporter saying that Chris Johnson was one of their best kicks in their team.

    They seem to agree, he has good skills and can hit a target but too often chooses the wrong target.

    They're questioning his heart more than anything.

    I thought he played a shocker against Sydney today.

    He had 11 possessions (10 kicks) at 45% disposal efficiency- so much for a good kick.

    Yeah, true did we ever think he was soft at Melbourne?

    Sydney pressure will do that to you. CJ looks good when he can play loose, unaccountable footy. Gets lots of it and uses it well. Does not cope well with stopping roles and physical pressure.

    This is why the first few years of his career were unsuccessful, he had to do his apprenticeship manning up players in the back half, didn't suit him.

    Players like him have a larger downside than upside IMO.

    I think he is under the spotlight now that he has come to Carlton and I have heard people in the media say that Carlton picked him up because of his good kicking skills. Well he certainly didn't display that today, and I think he'll be struggling for his spot next week or perhaps for the rest of the season at Carlton.

    Is he soft? Who the hell would know? Never played enough footy.

    Yes he did. I called him soft 2 years ago. He also played plenty of games at Sandy.

    Certainly puts into perspective the hand wringing that went on this board when he left.

    I don't want to have a go at the bloke, but if was still here he would one of the favorites to be delisted at seasons end.

    You can have a great kick, but if you don't have brains and courage...

    Walls was gushing about him last week before the tankers wheels fell off. Be interested to know if he still has the rose coloured glasses on this week?

    Soft at Sandy....got it.

    We were known as hard at The Rock / Yerong Creek.

    Soft at the Dees too. Well known. Often discussed.

    Got it ?

    Why don't we argue when we lose a good player to Carlton?

    Can't believe there are still arguments over CJ...

    He's a poor mans Travis Johnston. Being Travis in itself is a bit of a let down, imagine being a poor mans version of him.

    Went in the the SCG for the game, and I must say that I did find the three or four kicks out on full fairly amusing :P !!!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.

      Melbourne returned to its city citadel, IKON Park, boasting a 10–2 home record and celebrating its 100th AFLW matchwith 3,711 fans creating a finals atmosphere. But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.
