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 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.

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.

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.

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

Good luck surfing TJ!

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.

    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

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
