Travis Johnstone 150th

Didn't see a thread on this, so figured I'd start one.

It's Travis' 150th game this weekend, and while he hasn't had a good year thus far, and some of you may go bash him for not living up to his #1 pick etc, I want to congratulate him for his 150 games for the MFC and counting. He has been my favorite player since 2000, and I wouldn't have gone to nearly as many Melbourne matches if it wasnt to see him play. His performance in the 2002 semi against Adelaide remains the greatest and most exciting game by a player I've ever seen in the flesh. His skills are, simply put, the best going around. When he is on song, there is noone more mesmerizing to watch IMO. If we are to win a flag within the next 5 years, Travis will be key. If he is fit and firing, we are an immensely better side. He cops such a heavy tag these days, because the opposition knows, shut down Travis, pretty much got Melbourne beaten. Here's hoping he has a great 150th and kick starts himself into some of the great form we know he is capable of. We need our midfield to start getting on top.

Congratulations Travis, and here's to a stack more games for the MFC in the future :)

    Congrats to Travis on reaching his 150th - I love watching him run down the wings and pass it into Robbo or Neita. He seems to have so much time to make his play and usually so accurate with his kick placement.

    This year has been hard for all, not just TJ, as they haven't been able to get into a rhythm of play or had the same personnel to learn to work with. He'll be back to his old magic when the team consolidates again.

    Go Traaaaaaaavis!

    Well done Trapper.

    I hope this milestone will help turn his season around.

    Not likely even when he is inform he gets a hiding from Kane Cornes. I think he'll be happy to get over 5 touches and keep Cornes to under 25.

    Time to trade him besides Fraser undoubtably the worst number 1 draft pick. 8 very dissapointing years out 10 that's as disappointing as Daniher.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
