There's really no reason why we shouldn't be chasing him. Think about it.

Butler would not make it as an AFL player if we recruited Steve Johnson?

He wouldn't get senior games and that helps fast track development. He was injured all year this year so he would have got a couple like Menadue did. And he was physically more ready than Menadue.

Not sure you can be certain he wouldn't get games. The best players should be picked anyway

True, but they always like giving the young guys showing a bit in the twos a few games to wet their appetite.

Johnson for one year would take away from any kid we have on the list, Lennon, Butler, etc.

Pass. Let him be someone else's problem.

Just because something is on the market does not mean that it fits our club.

From Robbo's column ...

Plenty of scuttlebutt around at the moment and time will tell what is truth and what is lies, but rumor at the weekend was that the Tigers will not entertain Johnson as a player next season. It’s pity because the Tigers faithful would love him.
