Travis Johnstone 150th

[Lord Travis 10,673]

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 TJ. You have had some great games over the years. Lets hope this week will be one of those games.

Bad year thus far is true, hopefully this is the game he turns it around, well done TJ.

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.
