I think this guy could develope into something pretty special, and i kepp thinking back to one game he played in 06 at CHF were he dominated before getting injured. Were do you guys see his future:

Ruckmen: tapwork is average

CHB: too slow

CHF: This is the one i like, you have bate as a roaming flanker, taking marks up the field bit like O'keefe, then paul playing closer to home as the next link in the chain, breaking packs and creating spillages for the likes of Davey and sylvia.

CHF is the go. I've been thinking though - with the addition of Meesen we're going to have 4 ruckmen:

White

Jamar

Johnson

Meesen

There's no point having them if we're not going to play them, so I'm thinking maybe one of Johnson or White to no longer be a 'ruckman' but to play this CHF role or something. I can't see the point in re-signing Jamar AND getting Meesen if we're also rucking White.

CHF, like a Q Lynch... but better

Yeah, like Q Lynch except he can't mark above his shoulders or kick 60m goals.

It's like they are twins separated at birth! :P

hey PJ has a lovely kick jaded. i havnt seen him have long shots, but he drops it nice, and follows right thru. i cant see why he couldnt kick 50-60 metres. if he marks inside 50 range shouldnt be a problem.

and regarding the marking, yes its a problem. but sould we decide thats the way he's gonna go, is there something that can be done about that? can we teach him how to use his body strength? he wont learn in regular drills, but perhaps a bit of 1 on 1 work? even miller v PJ for 20 minutes after every session...get them both practice...

Sounds too witty for Paul Johnson :P

I wonder what he was doing at Frankston High, considering he wasn't a student there.

where did he go to school? i heard the story a while back from an mfc supporter friend who said he went to school with him. he came from down frankston way, there is a good chance i got the school wrong. but as i mentioned it was just a story i was told. is pretty funny tho...lol

He should play in the ruck. He is a poor mark and a poor set shot for goal, what use would he be as a forward?

He either needs to become an AFL grade ruckman or be delisted. They are the only options he has imo.

He is actually a beautiful kick, I think that it is just a matter of confidence.

PJ not being good over-head is an outdated myth IMO. This season his marking dramatically improved and he has shown much more than Jamar ever will.

Riley should never have dropped him.

correct about his kicking, as i have stated here before. and i agree regarding the improvement in his marking. it is hard to judge him on this year considering how poorly the team played, but i think if the midfield steps up we could see him take quite a few more marks up forward...

Play in the Ruck, needs to be super fit so he can ruck all day and grab posi's around the ground.

I dont think he is quick or mobile enough to play forward.

Can't see the point in Jamar full stop...

P. Johnson will 23 next season. Still young, can take a mark, great skills for a big bloke.

The problem is he is 6'5 playing like he's 5'10.

I think Bailey would back himself to build him into a ruckman or FF/FP.

Don't get rid of him, get something out of him.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.
