Johnstone and Carroll on the market

[Tony Tea 2,806]

Did Ox say anything about Travis being offered to the Lions for pick 8?

I'm happy to see us trade Johnstone, Carroll and Miller. They all need to improve either attitude (first two) or playing ability (Miller). If Bailey doesn't see upside then then let's move them on. If he does think he can extract the necessary improvement then I'm happy to spin the wheel with them in 08. Whichever way it goes ...

This is totally irrelevant, but i love how Ox uses the expression "Muppet". Every time i hear him say it, i can't help but laugh

I just want to see something happen to our list. Coz we are quite clearly nowhere near winning a premiership, our goal.

We need to get active in getting picks, coz the older blokes aren't gonna get us to where we want to be, plain and simple. Trade em whilst we still can.

Who do you replace Carroll with at Full Back? I note he was nearly AA last year.

the ox has just made comment on his own show about travis johnstone's possible trade after a caller was dismayed at the possibility.considering there are more players at melb. that have played with less consistancy than him.

The OX made mention that it's probobly all about his behavior "OFF" the field and not on.

also that travis's parents have been devastated by all the media attention.

as well as mentioning that the ox had spoken to travis on the ph. today and relayed his opinion to him..

Interstingly when asked whether the ox had been mentioed in trade talks back in 98,and was spruiked for "WAYNE CAMPBELL"

but richmond were not interested neither was wayne !!

the ox albeiit was dirty, but then mentioned that he and wayne campbell both were best and fairest the following year !!

so obviously putting the wind up both players !!

good call by the ox...

sorry ox, lets not confuse the issue.

the real reason travis has been offered for trade - he has not lived up to expectations. as good as he can be 4-6 weeks a year, he is a lazy footballer the rest.

i would jump at the chance to trade him for jude bolton.

Think the media attention may be more about the gambling that him being up for trade.
