Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

    Posting unsubstantiated rumours on this website is strictly forbidden.

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

    Our moderating team are all volunteers & cannot moderate the forum 24/7 & as a consequence problematic content that contravenes our rules & standards may go unnoticed for some time before it can be removed.

    We reserve the right to delete posts that offend against our above policy & indeed, to ban posters who are repeat offenders or who breach our code of conduct.

    WE HAVE BUILT A FANTASTIC ONLINE COMMUNITY AT DEMONLAND OVER THE PAST 23 YEARS & WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE CLUB WE LOVE & ARE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT.

    Thank you for your continued support & understanding. Go Dees.


Dom Tyson - 100 Games


Demon Jack

Recommended Posts

Considering Lewy's 300th game is likely to be a substantial talking point ahead of this weekend, I thought It'd be only right to acknowledge that his milestone will be shared by Dom Tyson, who'll notch up a century of AFL games (13 with GWS, 87 with Melbourne.)

Although it hasn't been an ideal season from Dom's perspective, I'd like to take the opportunity, regardless of what happens at seasons end, to say thanks to our number 12 for his contribution so far to the red and blue!

Here here. Hoping he stays on in 2019 as well. At his best he was one of the premier clearance players in the league and he is still very young (25) so should be entering his prime soon.

Best of luck to him this weekend in his 100th. It's a shame his form has been down this year and he's become the resident whipping boy. He's taken a while to get to 100 games due to ongoing knee issues, but he's played some brilliant footy for us. His 2014 was superb, and he was one vote of winning the BnF from Jones (who was at his peak). He's definitely got the potential to play a key role for us in the future. Hopefully he has a good game this weekend and contributes to an important win!

I really hope we're retain him next year.  He plays his best footy in the guts and has been squeezed out this year due to numbers.  Jones won't be here forever and Viney's foot may need insurance so the is a definite need for someone of his ilk.  It is a shame the majority of the players competing for that spot are unable to play other positions.

 

Congrats Dom.

It hasn't been Dom's best season however l believe he has plenty to offer and no doubt he will  be revved up for his 100th afl game. He is a damaging player with hands and foot when on top of his game and l hope things turn good for him. He deserves it.

Good Luck  on your 100th and give them Hell .

Was very, very good for us when Roosy was head coach.

Congrats and well done Dom on 100 AFL games. It is an achievement you can be proud of  

Even though I have referred to him as Turnover Tyson, he can find the ball and if he can improve on his disposal and decision making, he still could be handy for us, especially with so many injuries these days. 

Modern footy requires a large number of mids and he adds to our depth there. With Viney down he is virtually the next bloke in.

Congrats Dom, you are by far my favourite player and I hope to see you continue in the red and blue in 2019.

while you have not had the best year, i still think you are a great inside mid and it is says a lot about the depth of our list if you have not been able to get a game consistently. 

I hope you get three Brownlow votes this week after a massive performance. Go Dees!

Congrats, Dom.  There are plenty of players who don't make the 100 game milestone, so he's done super well to get there and deserves the recognition.

He has a big chance in the coming weeks to help shape our destiny in terms of making the finals.  When in form, he can be terrific around the stoppages and it's something we will miss with Viney gone.  He can support Gus and Clarrie in there and allow us to keep up our good numbers in clearances and contested possessions.  I'm backing him to really give us something over the next month or so.

While all the talk has been Lewis 300th, I've been very disappointed that the MFC website has barely made any mention of Dom 100th. I don't care how this comes across, but i couldn't give two [censored] about Lewis 300th.. 

Been with us for 5 years and has been an important player for us over that development period. I truly still believe he can play an important role for us coming towards the back end of the year.

Congratulations Dom..

Helped make 2014 that little bit less horrid. Had some real blinders and probably won us the game vs Adelaide.

Agreed, his 2014 season was outstanding. Off memory he jagged 12 brownlow votes including 2 BOG's in losses to Port and North.

Fair to say that the 21 year old Tyson was a far better player than the current 25 year old Tyson.

might be just me but im starting to see him a bit more cleaner and accelerating out of packs better to dish off the ball. if he could find that form of 21014 geez we would have a great midfield.

I reckon he's a good player once he gets his confidence up and going, you can't have too many midfielders especially when injuries hit. The question is whether he wants to move on to be guaranteed more game time at a club without our huge depth of inside mids.

It is a long time ago now, but I still recall his surge of form in the final half-dozen rounds of 2014.

I've always had more patience with him than most, for no really good reason. But here's hoping his 100th game is the marker where he rediscovers that form, because half a dozen or so really good games would be much appreciated right now!

Agree with everything said here already. Great to see DL get around Dom for probably the first time this year, in year where he's struggled a bit with his match fitness/injuries as well as knowing his role in a changing midfield setup.

Proving to be very valuable for depth, especially so far tonight, and we can't have a enough inside midfielders I guess.

Hoping he can get as much out of the rest of this year as possible, and put in an uninterrupted preseason to build his fitness and hopefully modify his game. We'd be crazy to let him go while still contracted at this point for mine!

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer. The victory over one of the big dogs of the competition after a succession of wins over some of its lesser lights gave his team respect and validation fo

    HIBERNATING by KC from Casey

    When they locked up the rooms for summer at the end of last year’s football season, the rooms gathered cobwebs, the atmosphere became dense and the place developed a sleepy feel. They opened up the rooms to let Casey out to play on Sunday but the team was still hibernating and they missed the bulk of the opening quarter. By the time they worked out it was game on, their opponents from Box Hill had accumulated five goals and, if the game wasn’t over, it might as well have been. For a se

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head. The Demons have now won nine of their last ten encounters with the other result, a draw.     And like a fork, it was the multi-pronged options that Melbourne had all across the ground.  It certainly helped that Hawthorn
