ibanez5 Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 Andrew Who? Oh - he was some highly paid celebrity was he? At first I thought he was a sportsman, but then someone mentioned league... Andrew Johns could take your AFL boys to school in terms of kicking and accuracy. And after watching some AFL on the weekend boy do they need it. There was something in the news a couple of years ago about how good it would be if Andrew Johns played AFL becuase of his kicking accuracy. At least it was a neck injury that forced Andrew Johns out of football, unlike certain West Coast Eagles players.
