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.

    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: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
