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.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.

    • PREGAME: Geelong

      After a one-year reprieve, the Demons return down the freeway to Kardinia Park — the site of both one of our greatest triumphs and one of our darkest days — as they face the Cats under Friday night lights. This one could get ugly. Who comes in, and who comes out?
