We need this guy to be a 200 game player for us. Still our midfield will be one of the youngest in the AFL but hopefully an exciting season awaits us, with some success. Tyson and Hogan should provide something for us next year.

    This has been quite remarkable recruiting. The best I can remember from the MFC. We will have a very competitive side next year.

    So, not old enough to remember Jim Cardwell's amazing (solo, just him and a cheque book, no draft, no spotters, no bs) recruiting 1953-5 then ? (I don't either but vaguely remember enjoying the results over the next decade)

    I understand your hesitant optimism completely, but at least this time or young unproven midfield contains highly rated potential kids (Tyson, Viney, Toumpas, pick 9), a couple of developing kids with who have shown a bit (Michie, M Jones and some of our existing younger inexperienced players), some players with 3+ years experience who should be easy to take a step up under Roos/Stone (Trengove, Grimes, Watts) and a senior midfield leader (Jones).

    If we can snare Vince or Cross and they can play the rule of number 2 and 3 mids for a year or two, we suddenly have a core that may come together.

    None of those players have question marks for the wrong reasons. They might not have developed as we'd have liked bit they aren't the unfulfilled potential, poorly behaved or NQR group we've had in the last decade. Yet.

    Time will tell. Stone for Royal may be the most important change we've made all off season.

    Pretty sure we said all the same things after drafting Scully, Trengove, Gysberts with Blease, Strauss & Grimes. Not saying I'm unhappy with our trades but there's a lot of water to go under the bridge before I start feeling full-blown optimism.

    Seen very little of Sheed he is hard at it and a good player who will play from Round 1 next year. Hard to judge the effect he will have at the next level, stood out in the colts with his ball winning ability and I wanted to have a real good look at him after the championships but with the broken collarbone and already having the knowledge he would go first round Subiaco put him in cotton wool for the season as they had no chance of making finals.

    Stevie Armstrong is his coach at Subiaco Colts. On what Iittle I saw of Sheed I would describe him as almost a carbon copy of Matt Priddis, only he has a better kick. Speed could be a question mark but has excellent hands and is better around goal than Priddis

    Thanks 'Pennant', that collar bone has caused some issue's for those of us that like to keep a bit of an eye on who's who in the draft but I'm sure the club's will have him well pegged by now. Funny how WC are saying they need more pace around the mids but Sheed is seen as their no.1 target. Maybe he is, maybe he's not.

    its amazing isnt it

    Damian Maggot questioning Paul Roos and Todd Viney

    What an absolute [censored] he is

    I actually think it is [censored] amazing that you got this post through the moderators.

    So now I know the word to use when I get out of control.

    He is way better than anyone from this draft, including Boyd.

    From what little I've seen of Tyson, I'd agree.

    Just the way he moves in and out of traffic, he is exactly what we need.

    I chatted to a mate who thought Tyson was more impressive as a junior - than anyone this year.

    Dom Tyson appears to be a steal for us.

    Tyson and Michie will hopefully be Misson's time to shine.

    My old man lives in WA, watches WAFL and thinks Michie is already there.

    Reckons the kid is a go-getter and is highly rated in WA, obviously he isn't that well known in Vic.

    Can play, will play.

    Your missing the point, Tyson fits our needs more so than than any player in the top end of the draft. It has nothing to do with being better.

  • Quote

    exactly, it's all about needs.

    we desperately need an extractor. those at the pointy end of the 2013 draft aren't that.

    dom tyson is.

    Crouch is an extractor, maybe we knew he'd still be there at 9 and added Tyson as a bonus.

    Judging from Tysons highlight reel, he is more impressive than anyone in this draft.

    I would not be surprised to see them take Acres, Beau Waters is shot and Acres could immediately slot in as HBF who can rotate through the middle, he is a good user of the football and sets up play across half back. West Perth colts used to find the ball and always look for Acres who would set up their plays. This was one of the main reasons he is so highly rated and has been well regarded for many years coming through the junior ranks, regularly getting high possessions and maintaining a presence. Will not find it as easy to accumulate at AFL level but the kid can run & carry is not shy at demanding the footy or going in where it hurts if needed. Disposal is also very good.

    IMO he is a better player than Sheed but that is to say they are both good but Acres has more tools and they should with all luck forge long careers. Meth Coast always keep their cards close to their chest so whilst Sheed has been training with them my mail is no promises have been made and they have stated they will take who they feel is best available.

    We will all find out in another 6 weeks

    I meant in regards to reducing injury, he became famous for the track record he had at Sydney.

    Along with the use of the Scully compo this deal will begin to remedy some of the errors of the past.

    As long as this guy stays on the park.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
