I don't know who Johnson is.
But picking between Josh Jenkins and Lewis Johnston, I'd pick Jenkins easily.
Jenkins is a big lump who leads up well at the ball and can cover ground up to the wing, can ruck if required and his kicking is improving. He's desperate a ground level and can bust a pack open with the ball in the air.
Johnston is more out of the square one lead/one effort and that doesn't cut it at AFL level, he looks sluggish when turning and isn't great at ground level. Barrie Robran said he's the "best shot for goal I've ever seen", I don't doubt for one minute Barrie would take that comment back. He's no better than the next AFL mid/key forward.
Jenkins easily.
