Springfield Isotopes 0 Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 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.
Jaded No More 68,976 Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 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!
Rogue 585 Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 It's like they are twins separated at birth! Like Arnold Schwarzenneger and Danny Devito, eh?
deanox 10,070 Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 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...
demonsflag555657 3 Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 Before the west coke weagles picked him up in the kids draft from the dandy stingrays he was a chf for them.
deanox 10,070 Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 he also once signed a pole at frankston high and claimed 'that this would be worth something one day' lol or so ive heard the story told...

Straight Sets Simon 23,113 Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 Paul Johnson should never have been dropped at the end of this season. People say the he struggled to hold his spot, but that was a result of poor coaching not poor form on his behalf.

Rogue 585 Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 he also once signed a pole at frankston high and claimed 'that this would be worth something one day' lol or so ive heard the story told... Sounds too witty for Paul Johnson I wonder what he was doing at Frankston High, considering he wasn't a student there.
deanox 10,070 Posted October 9, 2007 Posted October 9, 2007 Sounds too witty for Paul Johnson 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
Nasher 33,651 Posted October 9, 2007 Posted October 9, 2007 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.
Straight Sets Simon 23,113 Posted October 9, 2007 Posted October 9, 2007 He should play in the ruck. He is a poor mark and a poor set shot for goal 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.

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...
Bruce Almighty 0 Posted October 9, 2007 Posted October 9, 2007 Question:Where Should he Play? Answer: In a different team!
Deano74 156 Posted October 9, 2007 Posted October 9, 2007 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.
Weedster 174 Posted October 9, 2007 Posted October 9, 2007 CHF is the go.

I can't see the point in re-signing Jamar AND getting Meesen if we're also rucking White. Can't see the point in Jamar full stop...
rpfc 29,020 Posted October 9, 2007 Posted October 9, 2007 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.
