A friend of mine in Brisbane who does a bit of part time work on the AFL section for the Courier Mail has told me theres a rumour around Brisbane at the moment that Travis Johnstone wants a return to the MFC. Hes apparently unhappy at lack of time in the midfield and his insignificance within the team.

Dont shoot the messenger :rolleyes:

    NO WAY, NO WAY, NO WAY AND NOOOOOOOOOOO WAY!!!

    We are on the up without freeloading players like that. It's a team game after all - and he wouldn't know the meaning of the word

    What would he expect to be different at MFC considering Bailey was thinking of playing him off the HBF to address his chronic inability to shake a tag?

    I thought we did the right thing at the time and have seen nothing to change that belief at all.

    I question whether he would want a return, but if he did his time at Melbourne is done. We have no need for him anymore. He will be 29 next year, and there arent too many, if any, 29+ year old players I would trade for or pick up in the PSD.

    If he wanted out of Brisbane, just would prove he is still as mentally weak as he always was with us.

    With a full squad with the way some young players are performing at the moment I honestly don't know who he would replace.

    He can come back if he takes a 50% paycut.

    NO double his pay - but the Bears pay 100% of it for 2 years

    What would we have to trade to get him back though.

    Lions may be stubborn.

    I'd rather cousins............far better and would cost less salery and draft wise.

    Although neither fit the mould Baily is implementing.

    Johnstone...??? who ..!!! ;):lol:

    If we got him for rock all - draft picks & money - or he fell into our laps, I'd have him.

    This might mean nothing, but i thought it was interesting.

    I was on the Gold Coast for the Get Smart premier a couple of weeks ago, and at the after party a few of the Lions boys were there (Merrit, Selwood, Brown ect) all hanging together... anyway then i saw Travis walk in, separately to the other players, and didn't even acknowledge, or get acknowledged, by the other players. It was a small room too. Just seemed weird that they wouldn't really even say hi, or talk. He did have a very good looking lady by his side though.

    Tell your mate that the Courier Mail need to seriously lift their game. Apparently "Stefan Bailey (no relation)" was debuting for the Dees against Brisbane. I could find a factual mistake a day in the AFL section of the Courier Mail.

    Yeah mate, exactly. If the player can though nullify these things does he deserve a 2nd chance.

    oh dear...he might be too OLD to bring into our lineup :lol::lol::lol::lol:;)

    In a word ( or two ) NO THANKS !! been there...done that !!

    Do you think he would accept a trade to Richmond or something.

    Or is he just mfc at heart :unsure:

  • Quote

    More like he'd want to come back because Matthews expects him to work hard, sadly for TJ it wouldn't be any different here with Bailey as coach.

    He won't leave Brisbane, I don't believe any team would take him

    He's just a Surfboard and a Playstation at heart !!! B)

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
