[quote="Cam"]i'm with you nicko.
He is a key reason behind tarrant's frustration.
He is a mutilator of the sherrin.
Our bad kicks need to be Williamised I'm afraid.[/quote]
I love this thread and this post in particular. 
Sorry Cam

Another great effort by BJ i thought, in the kicking department that is. Even teh commentators singled him out for making great use of the ball.
Not that it means much, but we dont get much praise for our boys from those bastards. |

| Benny 'Craig' Johnson was sensational today. Provided plenty of run, and his disposal was top notch. |

According to the commentary yesterday, Benny is now the most efficient disposer of the ball.....IN THE LEAGUE. (so far this year of course).
Not up to AFL standard...pffft.

Because he is not mucking around with it. He gets it and pumps it long. Either that or he kicks it 15 metres short which is pretty hard to miss a target.
Jonno know's his limitations. He is there to get it, run, break the lines and pump it long to ROOOOCAAAAAA.
You will get no clangers against your name if you boot it long everytime to a contest. Johnson does, and with his lightning pace, he puts the ball forward before teams can outnumber Rocca.
Its basic really, but he is so valuable.

What an embarrassment to the maker of this thread.
In shame your head should be down in.
The only time Benny makes mistakes is when our forwards or wingmen aren't giving him anything to kick to, and he has to make something out of nothing.
His weird kicking style is surprisingly very effective. Ive always loved the go-er. His ability to sidestep oncoming tackles/tacklers, and his no-nonsense logic, he's so crutial to our team. His run out the backline is superb aswell.

Benny Johnson is integral to the team... As i've said a number of times on this site, he, along with H Shaw and Harry are the 3 blokes who get the ball across Half Back and straighten us up through the middle.... all the other midfielders / backs go sideways.... Benny, Harry and Heath go straight down the middle.

Nicko - you were wrong. Eat your words.

People talk about what MM and Eddie is doing for the club but guys such as Wayne Richardson are the guys that makes things like this happen...
Wayne has been working mainly with the first and second year players but has also been working on certain players disposal...
Great to see Benny turning that unreliable left foot into one of the most precise in the League...
a pat on the back to Benny and a big pat to all the guys behind the scenes... |
