Just saw an interview with his manager Trac's younger brother Julian Petracca - boy he looks like Trac, sounds like Trac

I just wonder if that connection helps at all. Assume it couldn't hurt if young Ash was to look elsewhere.

Sounds like they are looking for a longer-term commitment.

    Yes, I felt exactly the same way about that bloke Luke Jackson - ultimately the players decide.

    Exact same question could have been asked of Jackson wanting to leave Melbourne last year.

    But Sydee, unfortunately I am with you on this, highly unlikely Johnson will want to leave…. but you never know

    Has kicked 11.9 from 9 games for the best team in the comp

    What does he offer aside from goal kicking?

    Not sure he is our need.  We need a big unit/key fwd

    Still have PTSD when he gave Petty a bath last year and kicked 4.

    Everytime I have watched him play he seems to play well. He did come dead last in their time trial over thr off season but his talent and scope for improvement is high.

    I'm a fan.

    I think he is a really good footballer. It seems that many posters get a little impatient in relation to the development of players. Guns like Oliver & Petracca do not come along often and I cannot imagine Collingwood letting Johnson go and how are we going to match the $$$$ because Oliver/Petracca May etc are not coming cheap.

    Better contested mark than any of our forwards IMO

    Bit different leaving one Vic club for another isn't the same as Jackson leaving to go home on Silly wages :/

    Good young player, in a good team. Not sure we need him (if we're shopping for forwards) but I wouldn't say no either.

    Serious?

    Yes. In that I feel like replacing the KPF stocks is a bigger need than a mid sized utility. 

    But over all its the delivery inside f50 which is as much of a problem for us as the aging personel. Ash Johnson would probably have struggled in our F50 over the last few weeks.

    Remembering our game plan (at present) isn’t to isolate talls, it is to create contests and bring the ball to ground. Not a particularly attractive proposition for ‘talented’ key talls.
     

    We’ll struggle to attract experienced KPF talent, regardless of our recent form.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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 forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — 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.
