Could've just cost Brisbane a spot in the finals.

(Obviously not all his doing, but it sounds powerful).

I'm happy with Grimes

 

Anyone hear the Inside 60 with Jamie Charman?

"Have you ever considering deliberately losing so Travis Johnstone will feel like he's back at Melbourne?"

I'm sad for him, but we got the better of the deal, even including the $200k we contributed to his pay this year. [censored] me how smug Matthews was about us paying it - implied we were stupid. But we have a 1st round pick, who looks good, and the Lions are stuck with TJ for 2 more years paying all the big $'s. ;)

 

It was a simple shot with little pressure but we should still wish him all thebest for his future in Brissie.

Big mistake Lethal

When Grimesy starts churning it you will see just how big

No I hadn't. Now I wish I hadn't....... ;)

It wasn't so much the missed goal that made me laugh, but rather his impression after it. He showed absolutely no emotion, regret or anger. He just kicked it, missed it, and turned around slowly, clearly avoiding a confrontation with Bradshaw who was in the goalsquare awaiting a handball.

Lets get one thing straight. Trav, would have kicked that 99 out of 100 times. PLayers are aloud to miss from time to time. After all, they are human. Trav, STILL has one of the best disposals in the leauge.

And, we ahevnt even seen Jack play yet. YTou never know, we could really bew regreting this.

The fact is he did miss it and has done so before. TJ's disposal has gone off in the past couple of years.

Although Jack has not played a game, the decision to trade TJ was correct and should have been done 2 to 3 years earlier.

He has done little at the Lions to suggest that he is a winner for them. Unfortunately, TJ appears to be more of what they have in surplus in the Lions. Players that front run the game and are not prepared to be accountable and work hard on defensive pressure.

Not a chance will i be sitting down and having second thoughts.

Even if Frank doesn't play a game, the decision was still right. The recruiting would be under pressure but the decision to trade TJ for Pick 14 is the right one.

Can't wait for Frankie to capt...play.

Indeed.

What would we regret? Best case scenario, TJ may have helped us perform better over the next couple of years, which means little when we'll be nowhere near flag contention.

Agreed. Had TJ been playing with Dees this year, we might have currently had 5 wins and out of Priority contention.

It wasn't that Trapper missed the goal, it was that he didn't pass the ball to Bradshaw. It was selfish. The MFC made the right Call last year. Sure i was sad, but if we are to win a flag-we Must trade Smartly. We got the Best out of TJ. And would he have made such a big difference in 2008?? No he wouldn't. We Are "Renovating" and must keep blooding kids.

I was so proud of the Team last week. We played some Top Football with a total "No name" Forward Line.

Dont fool yourself.

TJ would have been tagged heavily all year and struggled and as per his form and habit would have rarely given a defensive or accountable yelp. I cant recall any game is 2007 he was prominent in.

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
