Title: Herald-Sun rates the captains / Kane Johnson 15th
Post by: one-eyed on July 07, 2008, 03:10:04 PM
Mark Robinson and Mark Stevens from the Herald-Sun have ranked the AFL captains.

Kane Johnson - 15th

Released by Terry Wallace in the middle and has responded with big numbers, but query on possession-impact. Injury and indescretion sidelined him, but having his best year in some time. Controversy didn't help he's PR rating.

Form:           8
Durability:    8
Leadership:   8
PR value:       7
Matchwinner: 7
------------------
Total:          38

1. Jonathan Brown    45.5
2. Chris Judd            45
3. Brett Kirk             44.5
4. Tom Harley           44
5. Brad Johnson        42.5
7. Sam Mitchell         42.5
8. Matthew Pavlich    42.5

or my personal favourite in 07 when TW rocks up at the press conference with Sugar right by his side, just after we were smashed by 10 goals..

and people wonder why we are the laughing stock of the AFL.

Got no arguments from me although I think they were a bit hard on Tredrea having him below Kane. Maybe the AFL could see it in their hearts to allow us to have a
priority pick just for having to put up with Johnson as our captain.  :pray

Would probably play better without the captaincy.

ill be the first to admit that i cant wait for Sugar to leave Punt road but in saying that i think he would play better without the burden of being the captain.

it has worked for another club just cant remember who at the top of my head...

How does Cameron Bruce rate above anyone?

He is the Hugh Jackman of the AFL.

After last nights game, once again i question the value of having Sugar in our team, post the end of the season.

He is the worst captain i have ever seen run around in the yellow and black and quite frankly, outside of vanders the worst i have seen in the afl.

Captain=Nick Riewoldt.
One of the marks of the round and to cap it off kicks the sealer for the saints.

you see for all you sugar lovers this is what i expect from a captain, not these 10 metre kicks who forces his players to turn the ball over.

he constantly puts others in a position where there is no choice but to turn it over.

A few weeks he has the chance to kick the sealer. RESULT=2 behinds
Same the week before in the final quarter. Even last week had zero confidence to win the game and kick the goal, so handballs to another player who was lucky to have the skill to kick the goal.

He is the joke of the AFL and should do us a favour and pee on himself and walk away from the Richmond FC

I would have him rated 17th. He's no captain never has been never will be.

Agree!
Whats funny is that Treadrea is at 16th, at least he could win a game off his own boot, not very often though

As far as I am concerned we don't have a captain.

Just some loser who goes up for the coin toss every week.

I find it very bizarre the 'media' feedback of how the players stick by him.
Maybe one of the last bastions of us moving forward as a club.

while we are comparing apples with apples, even big lance won games off his own boot, more than once.

The only thing i have seen Sugar do is win a coin toss and pis.s on a Police station.

He should have been dumped right there and then but no not at the RFC.

He should be ashamed to wear the No 17.

It saddens me to say that I whole heartedly agree with you all. Johnson would have been dropped this year if he didn't have the magicaly (c) next to his name. Is never in our best and has no leadership on or off the field.

Too harsh, I'd love some of you "so called experts" to get feedback on your own performance at work like that you are dishing out to the captain.

The pack mentality of some on this board leaves a lot to be desired.

no worries Winston Churchill.

It isn't hard to be better than Kane Johnson at whatever you do.

The guy is a marshmellow brain that has NFI - eg not having enough balls to kick a goal so pass it off to a 3 on one instead.

How can you defend his sihtness? :wallywink

We all may be harsh but if the truth hurts then don't read it.
