Saints interested in Chris Johnson

Featured Replies

Everyone keeps saying "don't trade player X because a new coach might get the best out of him".

The new coach is trading them because he feels that there is more to his trading than keeping him.

Bailey wants to start with a list that has the attributes that he wants, and he'll go to the draft to get that if he has to.

I am further amazed that so many posters back a Coach to get the best of a player when the player does not show any of the basic attributes himself to do so.

People here keep talking of CJ's potential. When has he ever demonstrated any? I have never seen anything in his game to suggest he will make it as a good player, let alone one to cement himself in our starting 22. To the CJ fans out there: When we win the flag in 2010, what position would he play?

If we were offered a 3rd round pick or a promising young player (like Dyson as mooted elsewhere) we'd be mad to not accept it.

 

Dyson for Chris Johnson would be a step down.

Why are we arguing over periphery players, it is utterly pointless.

Surely Stkilda won't trade for a 5th player now. Schneider, Dempster, King and Gardiner already traded for

CJ may be safe

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.

  • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

    What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.
