Rumor has it that WCE were after Johnstone, Davey + Pick 4 in exchange for Judd. MFC backed away as was too high a price to pay, which I personally believe was a very smart move.

Wouldn't suprise me at all if he ended up there, although I really do hope all the speculation is just a brilliant ploy of Bailey's to get Travis to actually care about his footy.... (or at least to appear to!!)

I like the other rumour better where Chris Judd was simply asking for too much money. Davey, Trapper and Pick 4 I would have done in a pooftenth of a second if we could have afforded Judd.

Damn straight.

If that is really the reason why Judd didn't choose us, this club really does need to have its head examined.

Which makes me think that it's absolute crap. Judd didn't come to Melbourne because Melbourne wouldn't pay him disgusting amounts of money for 5 years at the expense of its other future stars!

Y_M, for once in your life, I hope that your prediction comes true.

It's not an exact measure of time exactly... but it wouldn't be long. I'll have to consult my dear ol Ma.... it's obviously from a time when the conotation wasn't quite so loaded... not that there's anything wrong with that :)

They don't need him, They have Priddis, Kerr and Cousins. TJ wouldn't even keep up with them at training

I hope Travis stays, new coach, new beginning. Don't forget he had 'Mr Mediocre' ND all his footballing life, IMO Bailey is just the thing he needs

He needs a good summer in the gym like alot of the MFC. They have to toughen up.

I think the MFC's better seasons came from Troys Broadbridges death, they played with spirit as a team, that all seemed to have faded away this season. Injuries did play a part in our poor season but I don't think we improved over the summer like other clubs. I dont think we had the right mentality either

if anything, all this speculation is only going to have a bad effect on TJ. he would be pretty [censored] off at the moment with everyone trying to trade him. think about his last match and his b & f year.

Travis Johnstone is the best player we have. If you all say he is lazy and doesn't care that doesn't say alot about the rest of the group.

He is not our best player. He plays a couple of great games a year. Real midfielders do that week in week out. He is a poor midfielder compared to the rest in the comp. He is a second rate Mid fielder, He is not in the class of Judd Kerr Cousins Burgoynes, Mitchell, Hodge, Ablett, Bartel, Goodes, Kirk, Black,Goodwin, Thompson, West, etc, etc.......... His midfield days are over! throw him on a WING Bailey. Leave the Midfield to McLean, Bruce Green JMAC and Jones.

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
