    Good interview on SEN. Sounded extremely positive about playing footy again. Good luck to him!

      Johnson's last stand: Luckless Swan set to re-sign - AFL.com.au

      Sounds very promising!

        Fingers, Toes and everything else crossed the recovery continues to go on track as it is at the moment. I don't expect we will see much of him in seniors in 2017 - but if he just gets back on the park in the NEAFL and plays some solid football, that would be some achievement in itself. Anything beyond that would be a huge bonus.

          Why wouldn't he play seniors ?

          If his knee is good to go he's in our best 22.

            He was in our best 22 ... in 2012

            He hasn't played in 4 years. I hope he'll get back to where he was ... but there's no guarantee

                Great news, didn't say whether it was main list or rookie list but either way doesn't matter. He may not have played in four years but ability to read the play doesn't get lost by not playing, just needs to get touch again.

                This is a great club we support. Got everything crossed for AJ, I'll be shattered if he can't make it back, just NEAFL next year will do me at this stage.

                    He's a bloody champion the way he has persevered and gee I hope he gets back to his best, firstly for him but also for us fans. Here's a 'fairytale' we could deliver, we win next years premiership and AJ gets the Norm Smith, but somehow I doubt that fairytale would be AFL endorsed like this years........anyway, Go AJ!!

                      AJ playing senior footy again would be right up there with that of winning a flag in terms of the joy I would get out of it......

                        My young bloke goes in for an ACL replacement op tomorrow and it's fair to say that AJ's story has helped him a lot.

                            I don't think we need to go down the #sobraves route of turning this into a fairytale

                            He has persevered, but didn't really have a choice.

                            Glad to have him back though andthe swans must have high hopes to keep him on the list .

                              Thank you. I saved replying until I knew how it had gone but it has been 2 1/2 weeks since his op and his physio is stunned at his progress. The better he goes, the harder he works, so that helps push him further along. Noone is, or will, try anything stupid, but all signs are positive so far. I hope it's a good omen for AJ too. Tom Harley seemed bullish when asked about it during the trade period, so with AJ, Talia and Reid we almost have three extras coming in next season.

                                He had a choice, as did you.
