Needs A New Team: Courtney Johns
Essendon
Courtney Johns: A team with Matthew Lloyd doesn't have a spot for Courtney Johns. The Bombers did try to make it work but a forward line with Lloyd, Lucas and Johns was not a success. The Bulldogs must surely have a big list of forwards they will go after and Johns would make a lot of sense for them. The Saints have to also figure out what to do at full forward with Gehrig retiring, while they do have some options on their list they could also add Johns who would provide a lot of the things that Gehrig did.
Johns is a full forward, and although he has played as a tall defender in the VFL with some success, it is wasting his goal-scoring ability. A team that trades for him and sticks him in the goal-square can expect at least 60 goals next year.
Ricky Dyson: Things could change with a new coach, but maybe it is time for Dyson to find a better situation. He should have been a regular in the Essendon lineup in 2007 and a new team could provide a consistent role in 2008.
