◉ WATCH

Johnson exploded for 124 in Fremantle's 25-point win at the Gabba — 77 above his 47 BE, his best score of the season by a distance. After seven rounds of sell verdicts and serial under-BE scoring, this demands attention. The role was always there; the question was whether he would use it. Cash gen remains deeply negative at -$4,500/rd because the price has been bleeding since R5, now down to $317.3k. If you held through the carnage, do not sell now — one 124 doesn't recoup the price bleed but the ceiling is clearly real. If you sold, do not buy back yet — watch for a second consecutive above-BE score before reinstating.

Role Change· T3

Matt Johnson was deployed as a run-with/tagger on Hugo Garcia (STK) in R11, restricting Garcia to 10 disposals (his worst of the season). The Smurf review called it a big tick for Johnson as a player previously shunted to the wing.
