STILL CUTTING HIS TEETH

Last year, Johnstone spent his time cutting his teeth at Casey as a small forward but this year he was tried in defence and showed some good signs at times. Missed the VFL Grand Final due to suspension.

Date of Birth: 1 June, 1998

Height: 178cm

Weight: 77kg

Games MFC 2018: 0

Career Total: 0

Goals MFC 2018: 0

ย Career Total: 0

CDFC Games 2018: 17

CDFC Goals 2018: 1

I am amazed that Johnstone hasn't been officially delisted yet. I have seen nothing that suggests he can become a decent VFL footballer, let alone an AFL footballer.

I've said it previously, if he was not on our list, there is zero chance that we would recruit him now based on what we have seen over the past two years. So why bother keeping him around, even if his replacement is pick 245 in the rookie draft?

Johnstone's improvement has been agonisingly slow. Couldn't make it as a forward so they tried him down back with limited success.

ย 

After all the other movements, thought he might get another year, but not to be.

Bestย of luck to him. Good effort to make it this far, but must sting a little to never play at least 1 game.


Wow. We'll be looking at 10 or 11 gone when this is finished. That's a huge hole to fill. But, it indicates a club that won't take any backward steps in improving the list. From my POV, great to see.

Was bound to get delisted, did nothing in the 2 years he was with us.

As brilliant as Jason Taylor has been for us, he was bound to swing and miss on a draft pick eventually.

Pick 64s are always a bit hit and miss

(Cam Bruce was an exception for us, and Rohan Bail to a far lesser degree)

Nev was working with him trying to convert him into a defender, and I thought, given all the other delistings, he may have got one more year. ย But who am I to say? ย Got a lot further than the vast majority of us here ย 

Presumably we have sufficient picksย to fill the list.ย

Agree. ย Itโ€™s 6 delisted and 1 retiredย I think, so we have 4 picks in the main draft and 5 I think in the rookie/preseason draft if we need them. ย Bradke will come onto our rookie list as well. ย The rest of the losses have requested trades or may request trades so I assume we will be expecting deals to involveย players that have nominated us and are of the type we need. ย Iโ€™m optimistic our list will be better in 2019.


Must be a big trade week ahead. Got a fair few list spots available now. Can't imagine we will bring in just kids to fill those spots. Preuss, Koladashnij and May must be a lock.

Good luck to Dion, hope I he finds his way back to the AFL system.

Nice kick on both sides, great tackler, likes the contest, but not enough natural football ability to get the ball - either back or forward. Maybe another preseason getting much fitter might've helped but some guys don't have big tanks either.ย 

In general I'm a fan of being patient with draft picks - assuming there's no off field concerns or career ending injuries -ย because you don't want to miss out on what you bought a guy in to do, but I get that there's a baseline level of performance and improvement required.ย

I'd probably rate him #2 in my all time list of Johnstones at the club. A decent effort.

He's in front of Travis or Alan?

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking. ย We filled our boots with percentage โ€” now a whopping 520.7% โ€” and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourneโ€™s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasnโ€™t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
