He is a superstar.

You can build a team around these sorts of players.

Midfielders are great but strong CHF's win premierships.

    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.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
