Who else thought he was good today?
I thought he was far better then Lucas.

I reckon he's, without a doubt, close to securing a permanent spot in our forward line. He's got the size, he can take marks and can kick goals. I reckon he's got a bright future in the mighty (not so much today) red and black.

Played well, kicked a couple and set up a few. Shining light in our forward line. If only he got the delivery that Franklin had.

Only thing about him that i find is, when Lloyd is playing, he finds it difficult to play up the ground. He is much much better out of the goal square. Although i know Lloyd has been playing up the ground alot this year, he does play most of his time out of the square. Johns is a player that just leads out of the goal square, and has kinda no clue when playing on the flanks

Yeah I agree with this - but surely one of the coaches at the club could give him some sort of advice/hints about what to do? Surely that's what coaches are for?

He may not have done a lot today, but he did contribute and did well I thought. The kid is still developing, and I believe he looks more composed than last year. If he remains injury free, he will be a vital player for us in a couple of years. He's making good progress, unlike some others....

I think he has real promise.

If he can only play out of the goal square then so be it - play him out of the goal square - let Lloyd play further up the ground.

Did some really good things today - and his kicking has improved out of sight. Loves to apply tackles too - which suggests to me that he is a team player.

Three talls doesn't work in the modern game. Thats the only thing against Courtney Johns.

I think Dean Wallis is our forwards coach (nuff said)

Set up 2 goals in the third quarter simply by running hard and splitting packs open.

We need him to play, he actually leads to the player with the ball.
