He is a superstar.

You can build a team around these sorts of players.

Midfielders are great but strong CHF's win premierships.

    Aye, pity we don't have anyone who comes close

    For every Jonathan Brown goal tonight there was a Travis Johnstone turnover. The 2 cancel each other out.

    Johnstone hasnt changed

    Cheap possies, poor awareness in traffic, and a complete lack of chasing/applying pressure

    Ahh Travis Johnstone. How much I do not miss thee.

    Bruce, Green, Moloney, Mclean, Jones, McDonald.

    Which of those would you chuck (even acknowledging their flaws) in favour of Johnstone?

    We got pick 14 for someone not in our best 6 midfielders.

    Hell, I'd put Wheatley and definately Whelan in front of him.

    Would Johnstone even make our team if all were fit? When you consider his total lack of versatility, he would have to either come in ahead of one of those six mentioned, or miss the team.

    Jack Grimes, welcome to the club, we got you so cheap we're laughing, now get out there and be the next Percy Beames!

    Funny that you should mention Percy Beames. I'm writing a story about him for Demonland. Percy was 170cm tall, Grimes is 185cm. Percy was one of Melbourne's greats but I doubt whether Grimes is going to be a pint-sized rover.

    Fair enough. I'm really just imagining a player who earns best-on-grounds in grand finals.

    Mind you, what with all the beef and pasta in the diets these days, and the whole 'not having a depression' I reckon Beames would have turned out at least 180 in this day and age... :blink:

    I don't really know what it was that made me think of the comparison orginally, some kind of similarity in some old publciity shots.

    Heh. Reaffirming my comments about Johnstone - playing as a midfielder he came about fifth lowest in brisbane's super-coach rankings for today (supercoach taking into account things like disposal efficiency). less points than people with literally half his number of possessions.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

    • 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.
