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.

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

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

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
