WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - DOM TYSON

[Norm Smith's Curse 2,078]

I hope he can do a preseason and tidy up for a big year. Lord knows we need a star midfielder having a break-out year. The last two quality mids we had were Scott Thompson and Cameron Bruce in 05 until he got injured.

Lots more dud spuds picked up by the dees. Watch us hit rock bottom this year. Below GWS.

It's Barett's younger, dumber brother.

[Demonsterative 1,986]

Dumb and dumber

[Bring Back Barassi 532]

Mike Sheahan, Martin Flanagan, Emma Quayle. Three names that spring to mind. They all have one thing in common and interestingly enough they are three of the most insightful, thoughtful journalists.

I would add Gerard Whately to that list

Want to bet on it?!

[Bring-Back-Powell 13,281]

Can anyone clarify how long we have Tyson contracted for?

I know that he was contracted to GWS until the end of the 2015, so I assume we have him until then.

I reckon it's 4 years if i remember correctly.

[Curry & Beer 5,444]

really liking the look of this kid so far.. didn't realise how good he was against the cats until the second viewing.. one of those players that is just so strong, agile and clever in the congestion, he does all these little things that just win us contests and possession of the ball.. even when he is being gangtackled he seems to get it to our advantage every time.. Roosy would absolutely love him

He does.

[Bring-Back-Powell 13,281]

Josh Kelly (pick 2) would have to turn into an absolute super star for us regret this trade with Salem.

Been impressed with Tyson so far, particularly the Geelong game. Thought he made too many clangers in the richmond game.

He did make a couple in that game but his clearance work was class and the Tiges gave away a few free's in the middle trying to keep him off the ball.

even if he does Dom Tyson will be an absolute star also, and Salem i reckon will be a bloody good player in his own right

[KingDingAling 3,613]

Salem will be better than Kelly.

[Curry & Beer 5,444]

Salem will be better than Kelly.

definitive

[DeeZee 6,776]

This guys the complete package, great hands and awareness...strong body.

Could be the clearance player we are after.

Look forward to a partnership between he and Viney develop over the years.

[Ron Burgundy 8,584]

He's already one of my favourite players - that is, along with my other favourite Demons: Bernie Vince, Daniel Cross and Viv Michie.

What i didn't appreciate is how hard he works already, between him, Chunk and Cross there is abit of honest hard work in the midfield which i really like, Hard working mids stand up in finals.

[nutbean 8,837]

Its very early days for him but his style reminds me of Bartel ( minus Bartel being a supurb mark for his size). There is just this understated efficiency with the way Tyson goes about it. I think he is going to be a beauty.
