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.

    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.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
