THE hardest job of any coach is telling deserving players that they have missed selection and that was never more true than last week for West Perth's Bill Monaghan and it will be no easier this week as he weighs whether or not changes are required.

PAUL Johnson's career had been a rollercoaster ride before arriving at East Perth in 2012 but over five years he proved himself the best and most consistent player in the WAFL and he retires content that he got everything out of his body. Before returning to Perth and joining East Perth for the 2012 season, Johnson had already played 70 AFL matches between West Coast, Melbourne and Hawthorn along with 32 in the WAFL with Swan Districts and achieving some impressive feats in the VFL. Johnson played in a premiership with Sandringham and won a J.J Liston Trophy as the VFL's best player but it had been a frustrating career for the big man who could never quite cement a spot, or lockdown time in the ruck especially in the AFL and instead spent a lot of time forward.
