Travis Johnstone V Jason Johnson

[Demon ADI]

Quite simply who is the better player???

What a very weird question. 1 has silky skills and never gets the hard ball while the other doesnt posess half the skill but continually gets the ball and is a lot more consistant.

You haven't really watched much of TJ this or last year have you.

 

[Headless]

Johnno for sure - his skills are superb.

Hmmm it seems you are making an educated guess at who I'm referring to. I didnt name any names did I?

 

[KING-JAMES]

There Both Johnos lol. If its career wise Jason Johnson anyday of the week but currently Travis.

 

[Limbach_19]

Trav easily

 

[trav_16]

Travis by a square mile

 

[melbournemartin]

a poll that would yield similar results would be "who has ever watched Travis Johnstone and Mark Johnson play?"

because those who voted for Jason Johnson clearly havn't seen them both play...or are incredibly biased.

 

[captain subtext]

A Korean soccer fan would know who you were referring to with those comments. Even Andrew Demetriou could hazard a guess. But yes, you didn't say who you meant, it was very clever, but exactly what I meant. Its hard to change a reputation even when its no longer relevant.

 

[Lord_Travis]

Travis Johnstone by a long way. But Jason Johnson has had a longer and more fruitful career due to age.

But still, Travis Johnstone is a better player, and IMO is the best kick of the footy in the entire league. And anyone who says he doesnt go in for the hardball obviously havent been watching him the last 2 years or so. He would average 4-5 clearances every game now. He has finally matured as a player and is doing more grunt work than he did when he was younger and less consistent.

Good luck to them both, and hope JJ gets over his foot injury problems soon.

GO TJ!!!

This pole is useless because they wait till one player is out of form so that you are given no choice but to pick trav. It's like putting up a poll and asking who is better Josh Fraser V Michael Gardiner, well ofcourse at the current Fraser is better, but it is largely skewed because Gardiner can't get a game at the moment. That said, Jason Johnson is not the better ATM, but he will retire a bomber B&F winner, a premiership player, and have played in one of the best sides ever to play the game (2000), Where as Trav will leave never winning a flag, never playing for a great side, and I'm not 100% sure but I don't think he has won a melbourne B&F.

He was the 2005 B&F!

And Travis isnt in great form. He is just going this year so far, but Travis just going is better than JJ in full flight

In regards to playing achievements, playing in a great side doesnt make you a great player. That means squat. He was lucky to be in the right place at the right time, and grab a premiership medalion, so good on him....but it has no bearing on him individually as a player whatsoever.

Travis will finish his career a better player than JJ ever was. Will likely be a multiple time B&F winner, as he has a good 6-7 years left still and still hasnt peaked!

Why don't you wait till that actually happens, rather than saying TJ will do more than JJ has done. Just another desperate search for personal validation disguised as a Bigfooty poll.

As a Bomber fan I'm obviously biased but given that JJ has a chronic foot injury that will likely force him into early retirement, and has played terribly this year, so much so that he's been demoted to Bendigo, you'd have to vote for TJ - who is damn fine player when he's up and about. But given their disparate situations and style's, what is the point?

I understand what your saying, but we're both baised and it makes the argument pointless as it wont be resolved. I had nothing to do with this thread until a few days ago when I saw it, and I thought I'd give my opinion.
I love TJ, he has been my fav player for 6 years or so now, and there is noone I would rather watch play. He is just a far classier player IMO. I'm not bashing JJ either, as I think he has been one of your best players since he debuted in 97 (by memory), certainly your most consistent. I feel sorry for him with that foot injury, as his loss will hurt you, even more so considering your injury woes this year.

Only the first sentence was directed at you mate. The rest was directed at the thread starter.

 

[Bomberland06]

comon tj is far better than jj

 

[Giveyathemail]

Wish he came to Collingwood at the end of "04"
