Are there any bookmaker web sites that have odds for next years Brownlow winner up yet?

I'm going to load up on Trav for the Brownlow next year. He's going to carve it up for Brisbane, as he will only attract the 4th or 5th tagger after they tag Lappin, Power, Black etc., as opposed to having the best tagger each week at Melbourne.

I hope they have also have the odds for who going to be our next coach because it's a well known fact that Bailey named Trav as definate trade bait during his interviews for the coaching gig. Bailey had better hope that his assessment of Trav form the other side of the SA border was accurate. Me think not!!

I wonder if there are odds on when this current board "lead" by the snow flake Gardner is going to be challenged............I'd give them 12-18 months.

    Yeah good early bet on TJ would be a good one. I think Bailey has made the right call however, as sad as I am to see TJ go.

    Sure, a great move - Trade the only match winner on our list and state that a hack like Miller is untouchable.

    PATHETIC!!!

    I agree he'll do well, and I hope he does.

    That doesn't mean it was the wrong decision - you rightly point out that he would receive more attention at Melbourne - as our Premiership tilt isn't within the next two years.

    Whether TJ does well for Brisbane is irrelevant.

    While I won't go so far as to say TJ will win the Brownlow next year, I reckon he'll poll at least 15 votes. Jon Brown's Coleman Medal odds mst have shortened today. As we speak he's probably fashioning steel nipple-protectors in anticipation of TJ's laser passes.

    Ok, I've now heard it said that Travis Johnstone is our only player who can deliver to the forward line, AND is our only match winner.

    Christ on a Bike!

    I s'pose we'd better get Pickett back in, too.

    Travis Johnstone will be Brisbane's payback for dumping Aker on the Bulldogs.

    I am in the camp that is sad to see Trav go and I think he will have a much easier footy career playing up in Brisbane as he will get the 2nd, 3rd or 4th best tagger each week. Although I don't think he will be outstanding as I still think he will be hit and miss with his form, you can guarantee that he will be arming the laser and hitting the J Brown's chest so accurately he will need nipple protectors as has been mentioned.

    Surely J Brown will win the Coleman again just through sheer volume of delivery from all the Brisbane mid-fielders, but I also think that this will be Trav's best Brownlow polling year, but he might not lead the Lions in the count as they have other players to take the votes from him.

    Interesting thought on how good he could be, but we have been saying that for a few years at the Dees too?

    The load shifts a little off Simon Black, now that TJ is there.

    Black nearly won the Brownlow without much notice or recognition of an outstanding year.

    I think he may be a good bet next year.

    But J.Brown may very well pinch Lots of votes off both.

    It Maybe that the Lions could be having a good year.

    A bet on Tj for the brownlow?

    I have a better idea. How about you invest your money in the Melbourne Football club. Instead of paying out on what is now a DONE DEAL, move on with your life and give to the club.

    If you really want to bet, how about you invest it in Shares, something that will have a chance at a return, instead of the absurd delusion that travis johnstone could actually win a brownlow.

    For all the trapper sooks, a Brisbane membership is just a phone call away. And while you are at it, why not buy a WAFL membership, isnt woey buried in there these days??

    What makes you think it's absurd?

    TJ's still young enough to play to somewhere near his potential. In the past, he finished #4 in the Brownlow, so he can poll votes. It's likely another Brisbane player may be tagged, so TJ might find he has more freedom playing as Brisbane midfielder. Maybe he might even find himself an improved player with a new Coach and Club structure - I don't think we got the best out of him.

    Stranger things have happened.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
