Even Cambo ended up being schhit as captain. The difference was though that he was shot at the time, whereas Johnson is meant to be in the prime of his career.
I thought Cambo was out best player in 2001 ( not Gaspar ), he was second in the league in clearances and was doing a lot of hard things, somewhat unsual for him. 2002 he was ok, playing injured half the year and still pulled off some inspirational performances, notably against West Coast (36 touches, 4 goals) and Melbourne (17 touches and a goal in last quarter) to win games off his own boot. In 2003 he started of great, and was miles ahead of anyone in our B&F until he did his achilles. After that he was history and we, following him, went to total scchit.
Johnson looks to be playing injured to me. He is so slow it's glaring. But I don't want to attribute everything to injury, for even when he does get the ball he makes as stupid errors as you'd see from a first gamer. IMO he never has had and never will have the footy nous of someone like cambo, both as a player and as a captain. He seems no more tactically aware than Luke McGuane.
