It is funny, what will be even funnier is when he comes out and plays a blinder against his old team like most of them do, helloe to the Wiz, Scotty Thompson and Darren Jolly.

    Leigh Matthews usually comes out and pumps up an opposition player before a game. This week he has changed tac (maybe because we haven't got anybody worthy of pumping up) and put the acid on one of his own.

    Brisbane cannot seriously be unhappy with Trapper. He is playing the exact role he was recruited for. If they wanted another Simon Black they would have looked elsewhere.

    I think Leigh is playing mind games.

    Nothing i didnt know about Travis when he played for us really

    He has had good vision and ball delivery skills all his career which leaves us with his lack of ability to win contested ball

    Anyway thats Leighs problem now

    Lethal's bluffing. Trav's won two games for them this season. And it's was highlighted again on Saturday night on 'The Fifth Quarter' that a mark he took, Robert Walls said "He wouldnt have taken that mark at MFC".

    That's how soft we are!!!

    Now, early warning people - dont blame Nathan Carroll when Bradshaw kicks 10, cause it's gonna come SCREAMING outta the middle!!!!!

    Incisive.

    I would have thought Robert Walls comment is more a damning assessment of TJ's playing attitude at MFC over 10 years than a go at the MFC team.

    Thanks for the early warning on Carroll. I would not blame Carroll as I know he is not good enough for a player with the smarts of Bradshaw and your estimate of 10 is spot on.

    Its no wonder that when Carroll's name was put on the trade table last year by the Club, it was met with laughter and derision by the other Clubs. Hmmmm. <_<

    I actually made Jonathan Brown my Supercoach captain this week just cos he was up against the Dees

    *edit*

    and weighing into the Johnstone debate - haven't been all that impressed with him so far this year so I tend to agree with Matthews. He's been a contributer without having a big influence on a game yet

    Haha. Good post.

    Exactly what will happen to be honest. I was sad to see Travis go though, and I think we are missing him quite alot.

    Just lethal playing mind games. This REV up will no doubt cause travis to rack up 30 touches against us.

    The real moral of this story, if you have a dream team, this week is a good week to use Trapper!

    At least with the new game plan there is no insider knowledge that TJ will be able to share.

    Then again it doesn't look like our current players have any either. :wacko:

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
