Johns must be played. He is ready and his kicking is much improved. The entry into the 50 has been disgraceful, and Bendigo will teach him nothing. He needs games in the AFL, not VFL.
They better not rush Lloydy back either. Give him an extra week just to be sure.
Johns

Whichever idiot dubbed him the messiah several years ago is a complete dickhead.
Not saying he won't come good, but he is not going to turn the team around.
Nothing more than a full-forward IMO. Too big and not fit enough to get his massive fram around as a CHF, but tries to, thus tiring himself out.
If he is going to work with Lloyd and Lucas, Lucas plays CHF starting say 50m out and pusinh up, Lloy 20-30m out leading and Johns in the goalsquare like Alistair Lynch - wrestinling - mixed with Lloyd - fast leads. But maingly strength like that last quarter mark this week.
Also needs to impose himself physically more often. He cleans up packs from behind in a marking contest (although no crumbers to kick a goal) but there was a kick in in the second quarter (55m out near the boundary line) this week where I don't reckon he put a finger on McIntosh - easy mark, they run out of defence. Go jard all the time son.

Aaron Francis is the Messiah.
