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

[theGav56]

Hope he comes in with a little pissed off at being snubbed, including by WC who had wooed him.

I'm expecting excellent chemistry from the 4 newbies. Bonds of steel.

Haven’t seen him interviewed yet.. they interviewed Benning and it’s uploaded. Waiting for this one to drop…

I also like that this cluster of talent provides a nice buffer to any go home cr@p.

Wow, how good is he in traffic? such composure with ball in hand.

Someone commented they were concerned he was a 1 position player, he
looked dangerous in the package playing forward & would be tough match up with his height & agility.

He can play on a wing so I wouldn't consider him a one position player. Decent chance he will spend a fair bit of time on the wing early on in his career. Has really good speed and was considered an outside player until this season according to one of the draft profile reports.

It’s up there now.

Spoke to Jimmy Clement tonight at the Vysarn AGM (Clement is CEO); he said all 3 (Amiss, Erasmus and Johnson) were in their top 8 ranked players.

Man those tears, what a moment.

Welcome Matt, stoked to have you on board.

Lovely kick, long loping footsteps, seems to be able to bend time and space.

Remind you of anyone?

The melts from some west coast people when they overlooked this guy were priceless. Welcome to Freo Matt.

Lucky bastards.

"It was a mix of joy and relief. It's just a dream come true. Neil is one of my best mates and I've spent a lot of time with him and Jye is a great bloke as well. It's pretty much a perfect result if I'm being honest".

Good times are ahead of us, kids.

What I noticed with some of the kids had either family or party mates around them when their name was called out

This kid clearly comes from a good family, stayed home to watch it with them

There might be something to the rumour that he wasn’t too keen on travelling interstate given the emotion shown - but hey, that’s a nice win for us

We seem to take mates as such, which helps. We still had Cerra here for 4 years, compared to Jeff White.I’d consider that a win.

I like a tall, skillful mummy's boy called Matthew.

Don't mind benefiting from that for a change.

That is because most would be at leavers.

+ He was invited to the night before where it was just family and managers allowed, didn't get picked up so it makes sense to keep it quiet the next night, don't want the added pressure after a sleepless night

Hi Matty mate, can you do me a favour, ........ like to do some babysitting ?.

It’s what’s called ingratiating yourself with the Timeless Stealth Lord.

Funny thing is I'm friends with someone who has taught his kids, apparently they're little shits.

Just cried watching the video of him putting on the guernsey and him tearfully hugging his mum. A young man realises a dream, the magnitude of the moment touches him and he reaches out for mum who was always there. Such a great family moment.

 

[BanjoRules]

Absolute steal...lot of talent of the list now.

Just need to capitalize !
