Toast Welcome to Fremantle Matthew Johnson (pick 21 2021 AFL Draft)

[PurpleReign]

Freo are becoming synonymous with slow starts but I reckon our selection committee has been guilty of a few slow starts over the last couple of seasons. Good efforts over the preseason are warm and fuzzy but give me talent every day of the week. Johnson knows how to football more than Banners. Simples.

 

[Purpletown]

All the best MJ, looking forward to seeing your debut and your career development going forward.

 

[Spirit Level]

Wonder if he'll ever get dropped again?

 

[Freomaniac]

All the best MJ, looking forward to seeing your debut and your career development going forward.

Well he could be anything.

I really hope he at worst becomes a solid 20 disposal a game player like Reece Conca or a Blake Acres.

Would be a bit much to be another Hayden Young or Brayshaw or Caleb Serong

[freo1997]

Johnson, Erasmus and Amiss should of all been in from rd1.

 

[Deathly]

Hopefully he has the time to show something as a sub. Starter next week..

 

[wakojako]

I can't wait, I always rated this guy higher than Ras. He's got athletic attributes and natural football skills. The man literally kicked a goal from 70m out.

 

[MadMundy]

Hope to see some good stuff from the kid tomorrow.

 

[Purpleheart_56]

Hopefully U have great debut tomorrow buddy...

 

[wakojako]

Look at those guns

 

[freoextra]

Johnson, Erasmus and Amiss should have all been in from rd1.

Maybe, maybe not, certainly would have made us the youngest team on the park. But agree that Johnson and Amiss must be given every opportunity to play from now on. There are places for them and they need to be developed and held even after an occasional poor game. Not sure where Erasmus would fit in at the moment (probably requires injury) but I would love to see his bash and crash soon as we are missing these types of players.

 

[Purpleheart_56]

He looked good last night,hopefully He stays in 23.

 

[muzzington]

First goal and didn't he love it.

 

[Purple Jesus]

First goal and didn't he love it.

Ice in his veins!

 

[freo1997]

Great game and composure.

 

[apuchar]

Gonna be a very good mid.

 

[Belnakor]

Gonna be a very good mid.

Got caught a few times which I actually like to see the kid backing himself. A lot to like.

Yeah had a moment in the 1st.

Has great vision and a great handball out of trouble. Should of played from rd 1.

 

[Beak_A]

There was a couple of times in the middle he was moving through traffic getting round guys so much like Mundy - can’t wait to see him develop


My Buddy is NOD

Loved his game. Looks an absolute steal. So glad we got this kid.
