I think my favourite thing about Brad Johnson is when he first retired and started doing some media work, he'd wear his own tasteful, well tailored suits instead of the ones supplied by the channels like everyone else.
I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time
I think Brad Johnson is very deserving. I remember there was a time when the Dogs had no key forwards and he and Nathan Brown were their CHF and FF. He was a small but very effective CHF during that time.
The player who reminds me of Johnson at the Swans is Luke Parker due his strong body and overhead marking. Asking Brad Johnson to play CHF for a season is like asking Luke Parker to fill in at CHF for a season.
Brad Johnson as HOLer devalues the hall of fame. So would Mickey o to be honest.
you need to be the best of your generation. Brownlow of mvp should be a minimum.
Maybe too much focus on Micky O. Does anyone agree with me also that too many latter day players are selected and not enough of the PAST players (say 20 or more years ago). Could it be that the selectors only have the latter day players in sights as most have not seen much of the older players. Maybe there needs to be some restrictions like say 2 inductees fro players who have been out of the game less than 10 yrs .
I just want to see Cowboy Neale get the nod at some point.
I love Micky O and he was a fantastic player for us - maybe he would have been there by know if he had kicked better in a couple of Grand Finals ? Don't think Brad Johnson could have done more for the Dog's for what has been a poorly resourced club for a long time and he never had a Plugger or Barry Hall in his prime to crumb off - for his size and position a great player.
Micky O should get there one day
