Player Bio

At a Glance

Junior Clubs: Hawthorn Citizens
Debut: 2011
Recruited from: Oakleigh Chargers
Brownlow Votes:
-

In just two seasons on the Swans’ list, Johnson has played 45 games and has yet to be dropped from the side. 

Playing every game in 2012, he proved equally adept at marking tall and small forwards and demonstrated a growing maturity. 

Averaging 14 possessions and more than four marks a game for the year, Johnson has shown steady improvement and is set for a long career in the backline.

Draft history: 2010 NAB AFL Draft 3rd round selection (Sydney) No. 57 overall.

2013 Coaches Call

2012 was another stellar year. Being in just his second year at the club, he played every game which was an outstanding effort for a developing defender.

Pre-season has been excellent. He has turned up in fantastic condition and won our first 3km time-trial.

We hope in 2013 that he continues to improve and is able to hold a key position.
