Travis Johnstone loves being a Lion

Travis Johnstone said on Triple M Brisbane yesterday that he loves being a Lion and living on the Gold Coast and hopes to play with the Lions for at least another 5 years and play in a premiership team.

He loves surfing at Snapper with Simon Black and Luke Power and loves the laid back Gold Coast lifestyle that offers the best beaches and climate in Australia. He also said while Melbounre are trying to win a game, Brisbane are trying to win a premiership, and it's great playing with Jonathon Brown, the best player he's played with.

All the best TJ.

    Why don't you ask him out on a date..... :P

    Of course he is not going to say that he hates it up there and wants to move back to Melbourne....

    Wouldnt expect him to say anything else at this stage of the season.

    Will be interesting to see what comes of Trapper come October.

    Call him lazy and whatever else, hes still a quality player and I would have him back at the MFC in a heartbeat. He'd flourish under DB.

    Sylv - Move on son

    TJ has & you need to also.

    TJ had the world @ his feet being a No. 1 Draft pick but failed to get his head around what was required

    to unleash his skills consistently. Sadly he will be remembered as a bloke who failed to make the most

    of his talent & opportunities.

    Start focusing on our new core midfield currently @ the club & don't forget to add Jack Grimes

    & depending on how the draft unfolds we may even add Daniel Rich.

    TJ is yesterday - No backward steps

    Obviously we all have a fair amouint of respect for what Trapper did for the MFC during his time.

    It is time to move on though. We have a young midfield coming on the rise.

    he's not coming back!!!!!!!!

    He may want to come home but.

    Alot can change in nearly 2 years.

    What would we have to give up to get him.

    Would he fit into our lineup.

    Theres so much to look at, and we should never rule it out but it certainly wouldnt be a good move with the youth system we are using.

    Complete Rubbish

    He's never coming back as a player to this club

    I bet you I love Johnstone being a Lion more thn he does.

    Buddy Franklin revealed the other day he supported Melbourne as a kid, so clearly he'll be playing for us next year too..could be a premiership for us next year with Judd and Franklin and Johnstone in the side...

    *BUMP*

    After seeing Brisbane's insipid and lazy response to their loss against MFC by collapsing against Essendon, I can see how TJ fits right in at Brisbane.

    Brennan, Corrie and TJ for starters are to varying degrees talented but are masters of the easy option both with the ball and without it. They are a various times lazy, undisciplined and unaccountable. The lack of defensive pressure by Brisbane on Essendon was appalling.

    Many years ago, TJ was brilliant at finding paths through contested traffic and as the rest of the field ahead opened to him like no other player, would find the best ball use options capped off with a spearing pass. He has lost that. And today he is an architect of the easy receive and just does not work hard enough with and without the ball.

  • Quote

    Does anyone seriously think that TJ has improved his trade value one iota from what we got for him last year?

    Has anyone seen the blinder of a game that would cause observers to sit up and take notice?

    Or the change in attitude, with a hard-work ethic?

    .........'fraid not.....

    still relying on his sublime skills and others around him to do the work.

    First of many good decisions made by DB since he arrived at the club.

    Yeah, I agree. The club is run completely different to what what happening in the last decade.

    Well they won't be winning a premiership as long as the Demons keep beating the Lions!

    Good luck surfing TJ!

    Cos, thats all you will enjoy up there.......................Browny has had it.

  • Quote

    And we love him being a Lion.

    Sure I miss Travis' classy runs off a backflank or ability to find the ball in space but the MFC playing squad are now a discplined bunch who have none of the lazy traits Travis consistently showed.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
