2013 Player Profile: Steve Johnson

[Football Factory]

One of the only decent round 12 premo's, think ill start with him cant be bothered using him as an upgrade target to save 60-80k ?

just throwing it out there, i don't like any of the rd 12 premo midfielders (apart from Andy Swallow and I think he's too much of a risk) so what about starting Stevie J as your M4 (assuming he gets DPP) and then swapping him into the forward line around rd 12?

Just a thought, trying to get my head around the byes still :P

Yeah struggling for a premo round 12 mid aswell

I would like to be able to do this but it's a pretty expensive midfield

Cotchin(11)
Ablett(13)
Swan(13)
Premo(12) ?
Embley(12) .. upgrade round 12 into Boyd(11)
Ball(13) .. upgrade round 13 into Redden(11)

What do people think on my theory that SJ's role last year was a needs basis and with the emerging midfield talant he will be used forward and kept safe for a shot at September, possably even missing a game or two

Geelong need their best players playing at the moment while they go through a slight rebuilding period(lost alot of great players in the last couple of years) ..SJ kicks butt when he plays forward ..averaged 107 in 2011

but all his sub 100 games last year came from when he played FWD!

I'd go with last year's FWD stats, not 09, 10 and 11

[GM]

SJ had a great year in 2012 playing all over the ground.
His game sense and ability to read the ball will be required all over the ground in 2013 aswell.
A definite lock for me.

tbh i do see him missing a few games/played forward to rest up, but only if the wins are on the board. If Geelong struggle early, SJ won't miss too many
