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.

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

Although neither fit the mould Baily is implementing.

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.

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

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
