Johnson is a third or fourth backup forward at best and ok ruckman! If he gets a game round 1 we are already struggling in 2025 IMV

Bit harsh picket. In the wet, you want strong second efforts for when the ball hits the deck which I think Johnson delivers in spades

6 Dee debutants!

Langford, Lindsay, Jeffo, Johnson and Hendo. Sharp club debut too.

Hendo from the clouds for a debut!

Makes for a interesting line up - potentially Roo had a set back with his back, 4 tall forwards in the wet is choice

Official?

Johnson allows us to not play JVR in the ruck and plays with a level of physicality Turner doesn't. Looked a lot stronger in the practice matches and would be better in the wet imo.

Giants will be walking the ball out of our forwardline, that is madness.

New era, spewing one of my best mates has his 40th on during the game. Will be glued to my phone for updates.

So 6 debuts inc Sharp — means Roo or Disco are out..

 

Let’s pray it’s just Turner in form, hope is that club Likely would’ve published JVR pulling out with injury so let’s hope it’s Turner for form reasons perhaps.. 

 

LOVE Hendo storming into the side — massive wraps wow wow can’t wait to see the kid play! Rkn Jeffo sub is my guess..

Surely JVR pulling out would be released by club.. SURELY!!! 😬

Boy oh boy wowee

I don’t think anyone saw all six playing 

It essentially means three others already named won’t play 

Billings and TMac were on the extended bench so I’m guessing they didn’t make the cut 

Perhaps Turner too? or JVR a late out? Probably the only way bringing in both AJ and Jefferson makes sense

Either way super exciting!

All those saying it’s madness and we are too tall etc — one will be Sun and 6 don’t go into 5 so obviously a tall is out we jsut need to wait and see whom! 
 

and prey it ain’t JVR…

Salem looked fantastic in parts against Freo, he’s always happy to hold the ball and step around one or more opponents. If he can hold fitness and health we’re already better than last year.

I’ve always liked Salem as he dispose of the ball well and so holds onto the ball a little longer even if he is going to get collected. It’s not like he’s 6 foot six and 100kg. 
I’m sure it’s costed him quite a bit in impact injuries. Respect.
