WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - DOM TYSON

[Bingo 305]

Emma Quale I believe said the other day that we were into Kade Kolodjashnij....he would be one player in line for pick 9

I stand to be corrected but Dom went to Trinity Grammar in Kew and the whole family are Demon Supporters.

If so that has to be a real plus+++

Thought they were Richmond?

[Nasher 33,642]

Well, this came out of the blue somewhat. I guess we're not getting Buntine and Bugg, then?

[Dannyz 3,063]

Obviously any player's highlight reel will make them look good but gee Tyson looks a smooth mover, taking into account these are AFL level highlights too, not tac cup. Slides through traffic, has time and uses it well. Looks to have a hard edge as well. Kicking action and execution much like Hodge IMO.

Thrilled with this.

Slap in the face to robbo this trade.

Forget the actual merits of the trade. This is my trade period highlight.

Has David Myers passed on us? If not, how do we get him? 190cm+ and kicks goals from everywhere.

Jeremy Howe is going to be a talent without a role soon I suspect. Can he become the tall midfielder?

If he doesn't become a tall mid - he is going to have to learn to play forward both tall AND small with the timber we have up there now.

I'm hoping Roos can turn him into a Ryan O'keefe MkII

[Juicebox 633]

Tyson, Michie and Viney all Oakleigh Chargers boys.

Do not forget Watts is going into the Mid field as a tall midfielder as well

Is Dom

Is GOOD !!!

[Mad_Melbourne 877]

This is a significant win for the MFC.

Dom Tyson is a midfielder in the new mould with a bit of height on him, plays inside and disposes the ball a hell of a lot better than most of our list.

Whilst Kelly is a very good pick 2, in a draft where midfield talent is pretty equal, pick 9 is a good acquisition.

I feel that there is a vfl player that melbourne are interested in and that pick 50 is where we will be going with this, not sure but just the feeling i have

If we get him (or his brother) will replace Wonna as the most mis-spelt name on Demonland.

Tyson has star written all over him.

Adams is a battler who will never really impact games. Good accumulator thats about it.

I disagree.

Carlton paid about the same price in the draft for Chris Judd in 2007 who was the best player in the comp. I understand that we get pick 9 as a sweetener but its still a big punt on an unproven kid. I was hoping if we were to trade pick 2 it would be on a proven midfielder at the least. I'm not araldited to my position and will happily eat humble pie if Tyson and pick 9 prove to be amazeballs - however I'm skeptical at this stage.

Howe should've learnt to be better at ground level by now anyway. We've tried playing him on the wing and it just doesn't suit him. I'm ok with having him stay in the fwd fifty and create another marking option. Two/three best defenders go to Hogan, Dawes and Clarke... Howe can have a field day.

Wouldn't mind a small forward coming in to the mix somewhere. Blease needs to use that opportunity imo.

[Spin-it-to-Goodwin-it 579]

Tyson looks really good in those club website highlights

[Demonland 74,237]

I think the most important thing to discuss is what is his nickname going to be?

Iron Mike?

[sue 9,271]

In our parlous state and with FA looming over our heads it is more important to make some immediate progress in 2014 than wait for a pick 2 to develop or hope that some other club will lose its mind and give us an established mid so they can take a novice at pick 2.

I don't see much point in comparing it to past trades like Judd - situations change. I'm pretty ignorant in these matters, but it sounds wise to me.

I have just heard a rumour from a mate closely connected to another afl club (he has a 60% track record of being right over the last 15 years) that Dom Tyson, this week's rising ster nominee, wants to come to the MFC to join former teammate JV.

Good get AD!

You can't just write off pick 9.

Carlton gave up 3, 20 and Kennedy, and got Judd. They lost a first round and second round pick, plus a player.

We gave up 2 and 20, and got Tyson and 9. We lost only a second round pick (still have a first round pick, and didn't lose any players).

Completely different.

i agree in as much as every year is a year unto itself. its values are intrinsic to the draft and current state of things.

We do and indeed have to do what suits us, not anyone else's idea of that.
