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.

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.

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.

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!

No prizes for working out who is leading the official tally of clangers after round 1

Travis with 5

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

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak
