James Johnston
June 2009 (stats to end of 08/09)

James has been with Moonee Valley since Under 10s, and has always been a quiet achiever.
Put his hand up for a senior game in 2007/08, while a first-year Under 16.
He's a quiet achiever no more!
James' abilities were quickly recognised when he played with Sandro Capocchi in the Fifths, and his talent shone through.
Played some match-winning knocks in the middle order, and showed he's no slouch with the ball either. When you add his catching and fielding - a great slips catch, terrific in the outfield - you realise that James is the complete package.
In the 08/09 season he was quickly snared by the Sixths and was unlucky that the team didn't go all the way.
