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.

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?

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 !!!

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
