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.

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

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.

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 !!!

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.
