From Pigeons to Eagles

Johnson coached Yarrawonga Pigeons to a flag in 2023 and, as favourites for this year’s premiership, lost to Wang Rovers by three points.

His latest appointment followed discussions which started about a month ago. “It’s always a club I’ve gone and supported, even when I was playing footy at Geelong,” Johnson said.

“Whilst they haven’t had success over the past 35 years at senior level, I’m hoping that can change once I can get in there and get to work.”
