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.

    • PREVIEW: Brisbane

      They really had me fooled when I picked them with great confidence to beat the Bombers at Gather Round last week. I should have recognised that nothing is more quintessentially Melbourne than defeating the undefeated early premiership favourite one week and losing to a winless cellar dweller on its way to establishing a record losing streak the next.
