    Thanks for the link liz. As you say, not a lot that's new, but every little morsel is appreciated. Although I knew about the team all turning out to see him run again, it sent a welcome shiver down the spine.

    Go AJ!
    He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)

      The really good news bit in that article is that he has extended his contract for another year. Shows the Swans have faith that he will make it back.

        Will be an emotional day when he returns to the game. Can't wait for it - hopefully it's to a full house at the scg.

        Says everything that he never considered giving the game away. Any doubts would have been magnified and eaten away at him.
        He ate more cheese, than time allowed

          Good piece on AJ in the ABC News tonight, he looks as if he is running really well now and I'd think that this must a good sign that a NEAFL return is not too far away

            Want to see a big crowd turn out for his NEAFL return, hope it's a local game.

              We may see a record crowd that day. I hope it is streamed live, Still remember his great first half in the 2012 GF.

                  I saw Menzel land awkwardly today on his knees, but bounced back up without any issues.
                  Really good to see. Hope these things help AJ out on his mental recovery.

                    Article says Johnson could be in the NEAFL in 4 weeks - but we all know journalists don't print the correct facts half the time

                      Some more promising news by the sounds of that article, I have absolutely everything crossed for AJ - even if we don't win a game this season, to see him back out there in Red and White (even though its likely to be NEAFL) would make the season a success of sorts anyway.
                      "You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."

                        I would like that too but am greedy and would also like to at least finish 8th

                          Completely agree. Would make the trip up from Melbourne if he managed to get a senior game.

                            The inspirational footy comeback of Sydney defender Alex Johnson could become reality in the next month.

                              What a trooper. I'm so happy for him. Can't wait to see him out on the field again. Welcome back, AJ!

                                Some words from AJ's good mate, Daniel Menzel
                                Daniel Menzel says a match-up against Alex Johnson would be a great story for the game
