Just a ripper player was Wayne Johnston...always was a good kick even at Prahran where he started...amazing player really, he managed to reinvent himself into a different player..went from a flimsy half forward flanker who was a great finisher into a hard nosed onballer who thrived at finals time when the heat was on....I dont think I can remember a player who changed his approach so radically...it would be like Ryan Houlihan reinventing himself and playing like Glen Archer....



Nice analogy but stretching a long bow - The Dominator was always a tough and nuggety player as far as I recall. In the Pre-Season of 1979 prior to him being put on our list he went "toe to toe" with Phil Cleary during some practise games, Cleary at this time was also vying for a spot on our list. The rest as they say is history. :wink:
