Steve Johnson's sledge

[year of the cat]

Told his opponent Campbell Brown on Sat night that "I accept cash or card" on numerous occasions during the night.

Brown had no idea what SJ was on about and questioned Gary Ablett after the game. Ablett chuckled and told Brown that the payment was for front row seats at the Stevie J show!!

Nice to see a bit of humour still in the game and Brown taking it in the right spirit.

 

[croation-sensation]

Not very effective sledging if the opposition player doesnt know what hes talking about.

 

[Matching Mole]

The sledge has the triple function of being arrogant, not particularly funny and baffling to the recipient. Johnson should have just told Brown his Dad could beat up Brown's Dad, told a knock-knock joke and read Brown a section of The Genealogy of Morals.

Much better than this one:

would have been great if brown asked ablett at 1/2 time

 

[Glorious couch life]

Gee, you're easily amused.

Rodney Marsh to Ian Botham in an Ashes match: “So how’s your wife and my kids?” Ian Botham's reply - "The wife's fine. The kids are ******ed !"

That's a sledge.

Johnson's "sledge": Poor quality, from a dud of a bloke.

I'll pay that.

I had to fight! Lenny said his dad was Hulk Hogan and I know he's not!

That was pretty funny stuff from Johnson

 

[beez]

It's not really a sledge is it? Just an amusing comment from a player who knows he's having a good game.

 

[Plugger35]

Bet he doesn't say that to Stevie Baker.

Aint much of a show when Baker plays on him.

Yeah he comes across as an arrogant, kick chasing, diving cheat. In all likelihood he is probably a great bloke, but perception is reality.

Spot on. Johnson is a very blunt tool though so shouldn't expect anything more creative than that from him.

 

[THRILLHO]

Carey asking Horse to get a Footy Record from the crowd so he knows who he's playing on is an alright, subtle sledge.

Still think cricket has the highest number of quality sledges. The format of the game lends itself to it.

They should both wear their premiership medallions

 

[Pessimistic]

Brown should have said "You get the oscar anyway"

 

[krusden]

Awesome Stevie J

Not SJ's fault that Brown is a half ******ed neanderthal who could not pick up on a sledge if it smacked him in his underdeveloped brain

- brown still looked a bit confused retelling the story last night. I thought it was quite humourous although not what i'd call a "sledge" per se.

 

[PieNSauce]

Pretty sure nobody would have found it funny if he'd run a half hour lecture with powerpoint explaining it after the game.

 

[Zouz Kitty]

Didak is a ********. Nick Rievoldt is another Academy Award winning actor. ++ the best actor recently was Demon's Newton in game against North - Newton was pathetic, he could out perform a soccer player.

I can remember posting in a thread a couple of years ago about Johnson's arrogant non-celebrations after he'd kicked a goal. I took him as a smart-arse, jogging back from the boundary, poker-faced, acting like it was no big deal, thinking "What are people getting excited about? I do this all the time, etc, etc"

Of course, the Geelong fans argued with me and said it showed how modest he was that he didn't carry on about it.

It's good to see that I was right and they were wrong

"Front row seats to the Stevie J Show....."

(w***er!)

Not that there's anything wrong with the smaller forwards showing arrogance and being cocky. I think it goes with the territory. They need to be smart-arses to kick those audacious goals.

Mark Williams copped a lot of stick for his "shotgun" celebration. Similar thing, really. Just bigging himself up and maintaining his high confidence level in order to play his best football.

 

[BEEG]

Not really funny to be honest just sounds like the kid at school who is a gun at everything talking himself up on lunch

What was funny in 08 when a couple mates of mine were telling me a few of the Geelong boys were at a pub and all night were calling Stevie J the back to back Norm Smith Medalist now that was funny

 

[Naughton]

Pfft. He 's just using Fevola's old material: "front-row seats to the Fev Show".

It came across as moronic and arrogant when Fev said it, and nothing's changed.

A proper sledge makes your opponent doubt himself. This is just a guy basking in his own glory.

 

[Zouz Kitty]

would have been great if brown asked ablett at 1/2 time

Probably would have livened up the game, but Brown's response is predictable, he would have thumped Stevie J.

So what you are saying is you want every player to do the Buddy arm outstretched turn to the crowd Kath n Kim look at me look at me I'm a peacock you have to let me fly celebration after they kick a goal is that correct?

I think that was against Melbourne, Paul Prymke from memory?

Great sledge!

can't remember who it was but I think it was a Sri Lankan cricketer who had a quick reply for Mark Waugh who was mouthing off about something...

"At least I'm not married to my mom"

And then there was the infamous 'mars bar' sledge, you're right, the cricketers are the best.
