Lucky.
Needs to grab this opportunity and show his best tonight, then string some decent performances together.

| Hoping for that is like expecting a cat to walk a tightrope - cute to imagine, but definitely not in their skill set! |

2 disposals, 1 mark, 1 tackle. Okay, that's bad...
But if you can't get the ball at least don't save a goal for the oppo. 
He turned McCreery's goal into a point by touching it.
Should always shepherd the ball through on the goal line. But here even doing nothing woulda worked. The closest defender's hands were miles away.
You can watch it in the game replay from 1:52:40 on. |
That was a facepalm moment (particularly for McCreery, who was robbed of what would have been one of the best goals of his career), but it did occur to me while watching that the only reason the defenders didn't touch it might have been because of Johnson's work on the line going for the ball in the first place. So I can't entirely fault him for going for a mark when he might have reasonably expected it to fall short. It's just a pity he couldn't hold on to anything that night.

My view of Ash may be overly simplistic, but here goes.
He didn't go through any of the junior pathways, he just played footy all round the country until we picked him up as a mature age rookie.
He got by and did well at each level he played at by relying on talent alone. He never had to learn the work ethic that gets instilled in the elite juniors these days.
Learned habits are hard to break. He's never had to think defensively, work hard when he didn't have the ball, he could sit back and wait for an opportunity to shine.
I have no doubt he's working hard on that at training but putting it in practice in games is not second nature to him. Yet. It may never be, but if the penny drops and he can do without thinking what he knows he has to do, we'll have a player. If it doesn't, we won't.

| He won't be picked again. Had talent. Just couldn't work hard enough to develop it. |

Back to the SANFL please, don’t even bother with the VFL.

Frampton has 10% of his talent but 200% of his application.

I reluctantly agree, Johnson had an incredible opportunity to impress tonight and failed miserably. Not good enough for the AFL. Tends to struggle against the top teams and best defenders. Maybe SANFLE or WAFL would work.

Awful performance.
Reef is the obvious replacement.

I'd play an injured McStay or Krueger ahead of Ash now. Sadly, that's how ineffective Ash has been.
