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:

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
