JJ ONE YEAR
JJ ONE YEAR
Why is Jason Johnson only being offered a one year contract. Sure his form wasnt good at the start of the season but that was due to injury and virtually no preseason. His form improved as the season progressed to the stage where he was one of our best players. He is a best and fairest winner. He should be offered a 2 yaer contact minimum. One year is a slap in the face to a loyal Essendon player. ![Evil or Very Mad :evil:](./images/smilies/icon_evil.gif)

He's getting older and his style of play makes him more prone to injury.
As such, the club are probably protecting themselves from a Rioli type situation where he couldn't play out the second year of his contract but still had to be paid.

I'd prefer JJ to get a two year contract as well. But just watch what happens if he does, then breaks down part way into next season.
"Bloody Essendon, what did they think they were doing, giving an injury prone player a two year contract, bloody typical" yada yada yada bitch bitch bitch moan moan moan.
The club won't get it right, no matter what, according to some people. Damned if they do, damned if they don't

I agree Danstar84, if a player is worth 2 yrs, then they'll get the second, given their performance in the first. The important thing is for the club to be very consistant and transparent in it's approach, so that each individual palyer understands that they are being treated no worse than the next.
Being good at footy is very financially rewarding for these blokes, so much so that they don't go of and do anything else with their lives. a player who leaves only because they are offered one yr, not two, is not going to be a player who will go the extra yard to get the team into a grand final. Good bye, ( and good luck) should be the clubs response.
I sure as hell hope JJ understands this and stays at the club, ( which is bigger than the individual)

Didn't JJ go off on a holiday late 2005, with the knowledge he needed surgery to a foot problem? This act delayed treatment, and therefore healing and therefore destroyed a decent preseason.
The rest as they say, is history.
Unprofessional behaviour in my book. He should know better, especially as a Crichton Medallist of 2005.
One year to prove you're better than that JJ.
