I just watched the Bendigo v Port game on telly and Johns done his knee in the most inocuous incident i have ever seen with a knee.
Didnt we have an eye on him at one stage?
Poor bloke had so much potential they say, but injuries have really played a part in his demise, would imagine it would be the end of his AFL career now.
Young Minson had his career finshed very early, i suppose Johns at least got a few games in.

A Luke Darcy type knee injury like he did in the forward pocket down at KP?

He has had a shocking run. It's a shame so many players just can't get onto the park enough to make their mark.

Johns had his chances and just wasn't up to it. A victim of the Windy Hill propaganda machine. Sheeds saw something in him that he reckoned he could cultivate and turn him into a league footballer, but basically he wasn't good enough. Good to see the Bombres 2nd's get smashed too. They are in a for a few tough years. Ha Ha Fu$%in' ha.

I'm now going to change my undies.

Looked similar to Hahn's but without the hyper extension that made it look horrible

I feel for the lad and hate to see any player go down with an injury, especially serious ones and a knee at that.
However I don't think this is the most inocuous incident I have ever seen with a knee.
Remember back to Michael Long, did it just kicking the ball, no tackle, no pressure, nothing, scary.

Not much in it, forward landing and tried to turn in a marking contest did he do it landing or turning? Hard to tell. Probably ruptured landing then exploded while turning.

Spoke to two Essendon mates about this on Saturday night, none of them were upset about it. Both said he was a very good example of why Sheedy had to go, he made up his mind Johns would make it and ignored all the signs that it wasn't going to happen.

Booming kick though - I felt for Tim Walsh when he did his knee, he could've been something.
