As much as i love watching Trapper play, and been chastised by Rhino for expressing this, i have moved on. Though most of you have been a little harsh!!! He'll stay in Bris and play well for them.

The powers at MFC have been blatantly obvious in regards to the age policy and playing kids. Most of them are showing good signs at this stage.

LOL this is hilairious

yeah, we really want a 29 year old SOFT [censored] at the club, when we are intent on a youth policy.

Not to mention a 29 year old SOFT [censored] who has already had 10 years tt he MFC and did sweet FA.

He is Brisbanes problem now. Thanks for Jack Grimes, Mr.Matthews.

He's thrown enough barbs at the club since he left to ensure he'll never be welcomed back.

We don't want him either.

From my perspective he has only expressed fondness for thc club and his former mates here .

Remember he didn't want to leave , the club gave him an offer he couldn't refuse !

I'd personally take him back in an instant

Let's not get carried away with our importance after an emotion charged win - we're still not world beaters and the rebuilding process is many years in the making !

He's too old to work into Melbourne's fold again.

He doesn't fit in with the gameplan and attitude that Dean Bailey wants of his players.

And our facilities aren't good enough for him.

We're currently paying for the luxury of not having to put up with his waxing and waning.. Money well spent !!

He'd be on a two year deal now, so at the end of next year, when he's 29 nearly 30 he can come back as our second pick in the PS draft... ;)

Honestly though, this is garbage. He's been in the media saying the exact opposite... and if Brisbane make the finals this year and he plays, he'll change his tune anyway.

How would you feel if you were Valenti or Buckley, or maybe CJ and you got the club into a stronger position, and in waltzes TJ and just walks onto the back flank at your expense?

I'd be [censored]...

Yeah totally.

Our facilities are so bad, he got an infectious disease while there... you know lazyitous.

This sounds like a completely false rumour (for a change :rolleyes: ), but even if it's true, he can keep on dreaming.

He won't be back.

Despite reports from some, there was no tension between Bailey and TJ when Bails came in. Bailey said he wanted to play TJ on the HBF, TJ said he's a midfielder, not a defender, and the two of them agreed they'd find a trade for Travis.

I wouldn't take him back either. We'd have no use for him.

Reminds me of an analogy I was told once by a very successful businessman.

When giving references for people who he had previously employed, no matter how glowing, inevitably he would confront the oldest question in the book, "would you employ them again".

He told me that no matter who they were his answer was always "No".

He said that people were often shocked until he gave his explanation. He would tell them that, "As a company & entity, we are always evolving, we are always trying to be better. We dont look back, we look forward. For whatever reason that someone left, their time there was done and new blood and ideas is what is needed. "

I appreciate this is a large generalisation and that at the top teirs of management this is ineviably flawed in busienss but I like the ideal it stands for.

On the same basis I would not take back Trapper, although previously my favorite player, his time with the MFC is done.

TJ stated in the media that he had spoken to a few people about playing on a HBF, they thought it'd be good for him and he was enthusiastic, and then when away on holidays he found out he was on the trade table.

Exactly. But who knows maybe hes tidied himself up?

Even if he has, he's too old. Better to use that spot on our list for a young kid.

He is still a gun player. The only way I would take him, is for John Meeson, and the Lions pay for 60% of his salary. We know this will not happen.

Travis will ALWAYs be a demon, no matter what. But his time as a demon player is over.

    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.

    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
