Demons should make a play for Courtney Johns

[fishmonger]

We really need a decent full forward.

Thoughts ?

 

[oooze]

you contradict yourself
a) we should make a play for a 'decent' full forward

yet

b) that player should be courtney johns

 

[Bartram_Class]

Othello or Macbeth?

 

[Colin D'Cops]

Colin Sylvia would have to be involved, Courtney's just too much of a good player to let go.

Its good to have a laugh on monday morning. Johns is a terrible footballer and is also to old for Melbournes plans.

Would Courntey line up for us on crutches or in a motorised wheel-chair?

It's taken 9 and a half months, but we now have the worst thread of the year.

 

[richskee]

Bruce + Sylvia = Courtney Johns

 

[McLean_4_Captain]

You'd think we'd have already learnt our lesson about staying away from below average forwards willing to sue their club at the drop of a hat

 

[cannons]

Bruce + Sylvia = Courtney Johns

That may just get across the line, although I think we'd need to throw in our #1 pick to be certain of his procurement.

Fair dinkum

some comments from the peanut gallery.

So the guy has been injured.

So was David Rodan.

You can recover from injury.

He is only 23 and has plenty of potential.

I suppose some of you nuffs think the same of Brad Miller. So maybe if Miller gets injured then that is his excuse for 8 pathetic seasons. Johns has a far better strikerate than Miller.

Seriously you couldn't do much worse.

Rodan showed glimpses of form, plus he won the TAC cup league B+F..so there was always something there with Rodan.

Johns has shown nothing, he is slow, no agility, not that strong a contested mark and has a poor kicking action, which results in poor goal kicking...

 

[Beats]

Does anyone want to delete this thread?

When I read it I thought it was some douche Essendon supporter trying to flog him off on us, I really hope it is, because if it's a Melbourne supporter they should gtfo.

Btw change your team from unlisted please.

Anyway on Johns, he has a fast 20m, but it doesn't translate into his game where he looks slow and has no agility, plus he is useless, added to that he won't play a game for at least the first half of next season due to his knee reco.

I was wondering what you'd propose we use to get him? Even if it was PSD I'm sure there would be a lot better talent available with our pick.

 

[Marns]

Johns has been told by Essendon that he's not going to be at the club next year. We're not trading anyone or anything for him. (We're not getting him either, but that's for the essendon fans who think we'll give up assets for him)

 

[00Stinger]

Courtney Johns would be lucky to get a game for a local league teams ressies and you want him at Melbourne????

You idiot

 

[cannons]

You idiot

Precise and to the point. I like it

Fishmonger, I agree that players can come back from injury, but Johns has had too many injuries which have reduced his speed and mobility. Really, he just has good size and a decent pair of hands now, and even they aren't overly good. He's AFL career is most likely to end, and if I'm being totally honest, he would be lucky to play regular VFL football now. That said, he was once a great prospect, he was just exponentially unlucky with injuries.

Guv'ner - the peanut gallery is spot on correct. When you are injury prone and 23, there is no potential, just Stro-tential (see Stromile Swift).

You < clue;

 

[booshboy]

never heard anything more ridiculous in all my life...i'd rather Alastair Nicholson back than have Johns

You have to be kidding?

 

[whelan=legend]

Ive got an idea.

Essendon
Receive: Pick 1
Lose: Courtney Johns

Melbourne
Receive: Courtney Johns
Lose: Pick 1

exactly.

Some people seem to think I'm saying we should give up #1 draft pick for him or something.

But all I'm saying is that we could get a full-forward for a bargain in the event that he can make a comeback from injury.

It can't hurt to have a guy like this on a rookie list of some description. I've seen much worse gambles taken in the AFL. I mean what have we got out of guys like Jace Bode ?

Though he is 23, so I don't think he'd yet qualify as a mature rookie.
