thank you for that english lesson

Poor timing with this, really.

Yes its true he's nowhere near what he was able to produce last year, but he was reasonable today and improved on the past few weeks.

You havr too much time on your hands mate. Get a life

bloody ridicoules thread.

Yes. He's capable of a lot more than what he has shown in recent weeks, and today showed some good signs.

I know he's had a poor year so far, but today he wasn't bad. Definitely not a stinker like recent weeks.

Actually, i thought he played quite well. Maybe didn't do quite enough, but what he did was positive. His ball use was tidy, kicked a nice goal and was competitive in the ruck. He looked sharp in the first quarter, but never really managed to get totally into the game after that. Spent a lot of time on the bench, but still got as much of the ball, and more hitouts, than Meesen.

I've been pleased with Meesen in that he hasn't been anywhere near as bad as we thought he might be (verging on a joke pre-season), but let's be honest, he hasn't been all that good. Not the answer to our #1 ruck woes, thats for sure. Our rucks were pretty comprhensively beaten by Blake today, but of the two i'd have thought PJ was the more competitive. (Meesen got just 5 hitouts, playing as our #1 ruck option today. He would have spent at least 70% game time on the ball. Blake had 29 for the Cats. Simply not good enough.)

Shocking thread IMO. Some one always needs to find a scapegoat.

Johnsons problem is that for a man of his size, he has very little physical presence. He simply doesn't impose himself.

He is soon to be 25. Has now played around 50 games. It is questionable whether he will be improving much from here on out.

I've been a fan of Jonno. Had some good games last year. But this year has been disappointing.

I'm not sure where we are at with our ruck stocks. Mees is displaying some potential. But anyone who thinks Jamar's return is the answer is kidding themselves.

What's Spencer's status?

To all you paul johnson bashing morons get off his back he is a little bit injured and I dont see you out there playing afl. Also happens to be a top bloke and he played alright today which is more than I can say for the messiah Maric which most of you talked up.

He has had two shoulder injuries, one which required a reco. He will start doing it soon he needs to regain faith in his shoulder and there a lot of players his size softer than him.

Not really calling him 'soft', if by soft you mean he lacks courage. I wouldn't say he lacks courage. But he just needs to do more with his size.

And yes, there are players softer than him. Agreed.

Agree

I thought PJ put in a solid performance today, his only real shocker game was Round 3 V Port. He is a bit down on form from last year, but he showed a bit of run in today's game.

haha wow some people have taken this thread too seriously... i was half joking.. he isnt that bad.. i just think he could spend a bit of time in the vfl to sharpen up a bit... ease up people!

PJ needs to find a niche if he wants a lengthy career in the AFL.

He's not a '#1' ruck and if he wants to hold down a '#2 ruck' spot in a decent side he needs to add another string or two to his bow.

Playing forward seems the obvious option but he hasn't done enough there when he's been given the opportunity.

Fortunately for him, our ruck stocks are pretty poor atm.

Cooko.... Should he be allowed to post on DemonLand?? Or even be allowed to own a computer???

Ridiculous thread!!!

Would love to retaliate and get this thread closed..... But I have been here a lot longer than 2 days and realise when to ignore a newbie..... Starting now

Why bother posting this thread then?

You said Johnson is crap, and have questioned whether he should be "allowed" to play AFL.

What kind of response did you expect?

people to agree that he isnt very good..

Call me crazy but I thought he was good yesterday as well.

Me and doggo were quite pleased with the way he started the game, admittedly probably tapered off a bit but it was a far cry from his performance the week before.

No problems with Johnson at this stage.

His first three games were all shockers.

Cooko this is one of the most stupid threads I have come across since being on here!

Just get off Johnson's back. I don't think he did too badly today, his delivery was good and he also kicked a goal...but he could kick 10 and people like you would still find something to pick on him about. Besides the fact we are in round 6, not 16...give it a rest.
