CibbuanoOne will do, says Johnson

WESTERN BULLDOGS veteran Brad Johnson says he had no hesitation agreeing to a one-year contract.
Johnson's three-year deal expires at the end of this season, and the 31-year-old said yesterday he was more than happy to play on under a series of one-year deals.
"I can't comment on what other guys want but I was lucky at 29 to get a three-year deal, so that was fantastic for the club to look after me in that way and now I am more than happy to take one year," he said.
"Hopefully midway through next year we can sit down again and do it again. I am more than happy.
"It's great to see Crossy (Daniel Cross) and Boydy (Matthew Boyd) and Rob Murphy was mentioned as well, these guys are getting signed up and that's the future of the club.
"I am more than happy to hang on their coat tails for the next couple of years."
The 310-game veteran said he still had at least a couple of years of football left in him.
"Without a doubt, I have definitely got a couple of years left in me. I know exactly where I am at. The club has spoken to me about its direction and I will take it one year at a time," he said.
Johnson struggled in the early parts of the season with a series of niggles, but said his body is starting to feel better.
"Over the last couple of weeks my body has been pretty good. It was good to get through a full game and with Murph out, I had to pick up a bit of the work load as well," Johnson said.
"I am getting better every week and I am nearly at 100 per cent, so I will just keep working on it over the next few weeks."
