Can someone tell me what is up with CJ? Is he playing for Sandy, or is he injured? Because I would have thought he'd be getting a game by now. He looked set to explode at the start of the year, but just didn't take his opportunities and is in real trouble.

What do people think lays ahead for the future of Chris Johnson?

    What lays ahead of him - not much if he still can't get a regular game. Does some things well but nothing great and does not have a definitive position on the field. I would keep for another year but he needs to play with a lot more intensity and purpose.

    I think he will get another year. But starting to tread on thin ice.

    Hard to play for purpose when you don't get a game in the 1st. But then again it's hard to get into the 1st when you don't play well, it's a catch22

    Lets just start with what the problem has been with Melbourne over the last 10 to 12 years or so & I think that wiil help to put IT into perspective. Melbourne has been too gentlemanly, nice, forgiving, kind. The sort of things that you would want to find in a future son-in-law. But not the sort of things you want in a soldier protecting your life, he needs to get harder & uncompromising & when he tackles someone he should be trying to hurt them. 2ndly he needs to use his pace to advantage by running at a higher clip when carrying the ball before delivering. In short he has to get tougher on himself, to push himself to his limits & to stretch those limitations further & further. He's too nice @ present!

    Agreed.

    We have plenty of players who are either past it or have poor skills who will be delisted at the end of the season.

    CJ falls into neither category and should be given another season to try and cement a place in the side.

    He also is 190cms and is not slow either. Unless he is traded for a good player or decent pick, I don't want him to be the 5th Demon playing in another teams premiership following Pike, Bishop, Jolly and Armstrong.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.
