Saw LJ train today. Looked very good. Kicking was a bit off though. Might go well in a forward pocket.

What about Currie? How would he go? Surely he has got to get a game sometime and it doesn't look like its going to be in the ruck. Or is he in the same position as LJ - not quite ready physically.
Considering a few of the comments directed at TDL after his first game I fear for Johnston if he doesn't kick 6 on debut.
The Jack Watts situation was much different, he was clearly not ready for AFL last year and made his debut in spotlight, then had to deal with the Natanui comparisons. His confidence was destroyed.
Has anyone in the AFL media actually mentioned TDL this week? Will anyone care that Lewis might be debuting? This is the right time to be debuting someone like Lewis, IMO, there is no pressure on our younger players from outside and the media barely cares - go for it.
Sources at Melbourne? Who exactly?
How did it set him back 12 months - it's only 12 months since he made his debut.
Just maybe, playing him early showed him the level he needed to get to. He got a taste and with all of the injuries, it's time for Lewis to get a taste.
I'm not expecting big things and if we didn't have injuries, he wouldn't be in the mix but unless the club strongly believe that playing him will affect his development, then I think it's the perfect opportunity.

And Jack Watts is still rubbish anyway.
theres nothing to lose playing johnston, worst case he has a poor game, but at the least the club are sending him a signal that he is on the right track, motivate him to keep going. Who knows might snag a goal or two. Not like there isnt a spot with playfair injured last week.
Theres not much left to say
