I know this is old news but i still cant get over TJ being traded. Even more so after watching yesterdays performance. Surely there were guys out there yesterday who deserved it more (Yze). I know he wasnt the toughest but the toughest coach in football has snapped him up so what does that say ? I also Know he wasnt the most committed player but hes not on his own there. I just dont get it. Maybe theres something we dont know ???

    Mate he would not have made one iota of difference yesterday. He too, is a passenger.

    Truth is, he was the only tradeable midfielder. And he didn't set the world on fire with Brisbane on Saturday.

    mate GET OVER IT he was traded for very valid reasons...apparently even voted most likely to be traded in a poll of his peers.

    Truth be told..he was lucky he didnt go earlier

    Lucky for us he wasn't out there swanning around with his mates.

    Couldn't be happier with the trade.

    It was great trade

    If you thought we were soft yesterday, imagine Johsntone out there running around like a headless chook

    Johstone is 28, and with his lack of conditioning and his lack of passion, his career will be over very soon. He might have a good year this year up in Brissy, but then he will be finished.

    Jack Grimes will be a star.

    You really have no clue if you are bemoaning the Johnstone trade in the wake of yesterday... the question is why did we hang onto Miller, Robbo, Bruce who all could have fetched us something. We would still have ended up with the same 08 but we'd have a few more kids to try desperately to avert the next generation from following suit.

    He should have been traded a year earlier, along with Green. Both players with talent to burn, but far too lazy for their own good.

  • Quote

    More to the point i can't believe we did not trade bruce and green with him.

    QFT.

    If you ever met Johnstone, you would have realised he had the personality of a socially disabled 14-year old. His personality reflected his on field performance: uninspiring and care-less. He could have been good, and was sometimes, but was an underachieving player.

    Half of TJ's possessions on Saturday night for the Bears were turn overs. Not sure what he would have bought to the table yesterday.

  • Quote

    I'll tell you why Mathews took him.........Brisbane have a strong CULTURE in place, Trav can't corrupt that on his own..........we are trying to get what they already have, a tough culture that is all about WINNING contests...........Trav will be better fo being there, and they have some added depth and talent from him, but we need kids like Grimes who are tough juniors with a toug attitude to help turn our culture around.............so suck it up, cause more will go end of this year too!

    after round 1, i thank our lucky stars that we traded Johnstone just in the nick of time.

    the guy is 28 and is inconsistent and overrated.

    instead we now have a guy who's 18 and will hopefully have a long and successful career with us. we need talented youngsters, not 28 yr olds

    We were going to get the same draft pick for Yze as we did for TJ? :lol:

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • 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?
