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.

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.

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

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
