Rating our list 2020

[Hotdog60]

I thought with the delay of the football it's time to assess our list so I hope I've started this in the right way.
We can evaluate each player on our list starting with the highest number Lin Jong down to Matthew Suckling.
The poll will run for a week and when your post in the poll if you can give a reason on your thoughts so we can share your insights.
At the end we'll see how our list looks in the eyes of WOOF members.

Another of the Western Bulldogs' rookie list success stories, Johannisen made his debut in Bulldogs colours in 2012. The Western Australian recruit was initially drafted to the Bulldogs through the 2010 AFL Rookie Draft with selection 39. Blessed with electric speed, Johannisen has forged a reputation as one of the league's most exciting, attacking half-backs. After playing just 27 games in his first three seasons, Johannisen flourished under coach Luke Beveridge playing in 20 games in 2016, averaging 20 disposals. While a hamstring tendon injury early in the 2016 disrupted his eye-catching start to the year, Johannisen returned to play the last 13 games of the season, and spearhead the Club's charge through September. Johannisen's game breaking ability was on full display on Grand Final day, as he amassed 33 disposals on his way to winning the Norm Smith Medal. A VFL premiership player with the Footscray Bulldogs in 2014, Johannisen became an AFL Premiership player in 2016. Since 2017, Johannisen hasn't played fewer than 20 senior games and consolidated his place as one of the league's most dynamic half-backs. After missing the first three rounds of the 2019 season with an ankle injury, Jason Johannisen played the remaining 20 games to again be a key player for the Bulldogs. One of the team’s leaders, Johannisen provided his customary dash and dare off the half back flank. The 26-year-old was among the team’s top three for effective kicks and metres gained per game, and top six for both inside-50s and rebound 50s. Johannisen is contracted until the end of the 2022 season.

JJ is close to if not an A grader. When he gets his game going, running off the backline, he can be very damaging. Has kicked some wonderful goals (41 off the backline) and we mustn't forget he is a Norm Smith medalist.

JJ is such an important player for us with his ability to get the ball moving down the ground quickly. As Hotdog has pointed out he is also very durable and genuinely a leader at our club plus the fact he does impact the scoreboard from time to time.

I hope our players rally around him if he starts to receive the hard tags again and not allow opposition players the chance to give him cheap shots.

He is certainly an AFL quality player but perhaps just a bit behind an elite rating

JJ is such an important player for us with his ability to get the ball moving down the ground quickly.

When JJ gets the ball I always think something good might happen.

He never loses awareness of which way the team is kicking.
l cannot recall him looking backwards for a cheap kick into the opposition’s 50 metre arc.
