Post by Jezza »

Welcome... :)
Collingwood have selected Ash Johnson from Sturt with pick 3 in the 2021 Mid-Season Draft.

SELECTION: Pick 3
POSITION: Forward
DOB: 06/10/1997
HEIGHT: 193cm
WEIGHT: 85kg

PROFILE

Johnson has established himself as an explosive tall forward during his time with Sturt in the SANFL this season. Having been overlooked in previous drafts, the Pies believe he is ready to play at the next level with a spot on an AFL list. Johnson has booted 13 goals from six matches for the Double Blues this season and had a standout four goal performance against the Crows’ reserves in round five.

Playing for Scotch Old Collegians in 2018, he impressed booting 41 majors from 15 matches while also being crowned a premiership player which ultimately helped him be signed as a top-up player for the Crows’ SANFL side in 2019. His rookie-list selection makes him the sixth player from Halls Creek in the Kimberlys in the AFL. Johnson is also the cousin of Carlton’s Sam Petrevski-Steon and Gold Coast’s Jy Farrar.

STRENGTHS

- Ability to take his chances
- Kicking accuracy
- High Flyer
- Goal kicking
- Great hands
- Readiness to play

Yep. No complaints at all. I think he’s a better player than Callow at the moment. Difficult to say how Callow ends up because he’s still very young. These decisions are very difficult.

Well getting 1/2 right is not bad I guess. Welcome.

I was shaking my head until I discoved both he and Callow aren't separated much in height, with Callow alot heavier. Still, he has big shoes to fill after the success of Noble last year.
