Always thaught Brad Johnson was a great player. Usually players on guys much bigger than him and dominates them, he is a guy that I fear when we play them. Regardless anyone (no matter who it is or who they play for) that makes 300 games deserves respect.

FFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Johnson just won a game off his own boot....I would suggest this wouldn't be the best time to compare him to Reiwoldt.
Size for Ability - Johnson is the best AFL player in the competition.
A smarter man would have known what pound for pound meant.

Riewoldt was considered by many the best on ground in a game we won by two points. He was, as usual, the go to man in the dying minutes of a tight game and significantly had the ball in his hands when the siren went. Last time we had a really tight game against the Swans he was the one who took the big mark in the wet in the back line to repel the last Swans attack.Spinner wrote:

He doesn't suffer in comparison to anyone.
Win it for HIM!
Bloody well said. He worked his ass off as usual. No one bleeds for this club more than Roo does.my les foote wrote:Riewoldt was considered by many the best on ground in a game we won by two points.

From yesterday's Age
Johnson has missed just six matches on his way to 300 — he was dropped twice in 1995, his second senior season, suspended for two matches in 2000 and missed games through injury in 2004 and 2007, but said he still looked to St Kilda champion Robert Harvey as a role model.
"He's just amazing and I don't know how he does it. I constantly look at him and realise what can be done if you push through things. He's a fantastic person to look up to," Johnson said.

What kind of pathetic snipe is that?
Go ahead taking pot-shots at OUR best player, OUR 4 time club champion (as a 25 year old) and OUR club CAPTAIN.
A player who bleeds for the team and a player who just about won the game for us on Saturday night with his tireless last qtr efforts.
Sorry if I aint gushing over the wonderful 'Johno' - sorry if, to me, he's just another Footscray player.
For Gawd sake get a grip or change friggin clubs.
PS: What the hell is a 'Tug ourselves over the marvelous Johno' thread doing in a St Kilda football forum anyway?
Shouldn't this be in the general forum?
Or perhaps a bulldogs forum?
PPS: Can I just add a quick congratulations to Hirdy and Bucks for such wonderful careers - thanks for the memories guys!!
PPPS: If anyone runs into Braddles or Sticks can they pass on my sincerest thanks - Wonderful men one and all!

You were the one that made the initial comparison to Reiwoldt...I just furthered that comparison with some facts.st paddy wrote:Spinner wrote:st paddy wrote:FFS - This forum needs to have a good hard look at itself.Spinner wrote:Pound for pound Brad Johnson is the best player in the AFL.

Its not a snipe, its a truth. But no where did I mention that Reiwoldt wasn't a superstar.
PS The Johnson thread was probably created because the bloke just won a game that was well and truly lost, off his own boot. In what was his 300th game. He is a star.

He has saved games before with his work ethic, leading, marking etc. But never grabbed the game by the scruff of the neck.
I only furthered an initial ocmparison between BJ and NR, to outline how good a player BJ was.
st paddy...all everyone is trying to say is that occassionally you have to take off the blinkers and acknowlege champions from other sides..doing that does not diminish anyones love of the Saints or their players
and yes...all the blokes you mentioned deserve kudos for being great players. Takes 16 clubs to make up the comp you know

In fact I ask that you offer some sort of original opinion, instead of hiding behind the thoughts of other posters.
And ensure you stay on topic, no one has questioned Reiwoldt's loyalty, his love of the club or his superstardom....Im sure you'll find some sort of heart string to pull on after you twist my some what simple observation around.
On a different note, its funny, its as if you 'browse' the forum awaiting for a 'personal favorite' topic of yours to arise, but lately more so, you find it necessary to draw on the heart strings defending players I have supposedly offended.
Offer me some sort of opinion here.
Brad Johnson is a very good footballer . . . but . . . he is a diver and he is a "seagull" (hanging around packs waving his arms around)
Too often takes the soft or selfish option.
If he had lived up to his ability he'd be one of the game's great midfielders.
He's not for a reason.

When was the topic specifically about Brad Johnson the midfielder? I thought we were talking about Brad Johnson, the GUN versatile footballer, who doesn't get the plaudits he deserves. If he played for Collingwood he'd be up there with Buckley.JeffDunne wrote:What has that got to do with him not playing in the midfield?savatage wrote:The reason is that he plays for the Western Bulldogs & that club, sadly, has no profile.JeffDunne wrote:

Yeah . . . ok.
You quoted a part of my post where I was discussing why he's not rated as a great midfielder.
The fact he plays for the Bulldogs isn't a reason why he isn't.
He isn't because he isn't a midfielder's arsehole.
He has the talent to be - and like I said is a very good footballer - but he's a jack of all trades because he's a master of none.
If he had the work ethic he'd be seen as one of the all-time greats.
Yesterday simply proves what he can do when he puts his mind to it. Pity he didn't do it all the time.
I didn't get that from reading your post. Regardless, calling him just a midfielder is an insult as he has somehow managed to play key forward for that side & simply dominated. He's a gun, there's no two ways about it.JeffDunne wrote:![]()

I have complete confidence in our defense to hold any team to less than 10 goals.loris wrote:JeffDunne wrote:

Hey JD hey can I put in a request that he doesn't put his mind to it when he plays against the Saints....that would be a pity for us eh
My confidence in us scoring more than 10 is another story . . . but Johno doesn't scare me. Never has.
