WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - DOM TYSON

As you said earlier rpfc, we were sold a talented kid with a bright future, and instead we received an instant gun.

Very astute call by Damien Barrett to say we lost out in the Josh Kelly trade.

Barrett knows what he's talking about, though, and he delivers his views in a completely unbiased manner. Just cold, hard facts.

Yes, and I am still wary...

I bet he is a sleestak!

I've also heard Salem rated ahead of Kelly from someone involved in TAC footy.

rjay what is your background with junior footy? You seem to have a good handle on it.

Heard Robert Shaw say that.

He coached them both. Said they would both be great players.

Salems TAC cup strike rate for BOG was better than any TAC player last year - and by some margin.

It read like his best games were better than others - and he could do it on a more consistent basis.

Throw in Salems blend of skills, precision, toughness and poise, we have a very unique and well rounded player.

As for Dom Tyson, wow. I got rid of him out my supercoach thinking he'd slow, I thought he couldn't possibly keep it up - but he has gone to another level.

Viney played super today as well.

He is one of the most well rounded midfielders I've seen at Melbourne.

YOU hate to jinx him but... I haven't seen a midfielder that looks this good in my lifetime. Stynes a ruckman and Flower a wingman don't count as midfielders. Viney snr and Tingay were guns and Woey had 1 brilliant year but I think DT has all the attributes to take it to the next level.


I noticed him a few times at pre-season training this year. He has a huge bum with a low centre of gravity so has that smooth low movement look about him. It is his kicking that is his strength and his weakness at present. This will become more consistent as he matures. But he has a huge engine, and rarely gets moved off the ball at a stoppage.

I agree with a few people above - I can't remember a Dees midfielder with his class in a long time. Tingay maybe, before he was injured.

He seems to have a great temperament for the game, he doesn't seem to get phased by heavy treatment and just gets on with the job. Great left foot over a distance and is getting better over the shorter distance.

Thanks Giants.

Why have we always done better with trades than drafts? Powell, Beemer, Bizzell, Tyson, Dawes, Clark (before injury) and many others over the journey have always seemed pretty good. The one's I was sad to see go - Spalding, Thompson, Farmer (although we got plenty of service), Rivers etc has still been below par for what some other clubs lose. The Brownlow trades (Templeton/Moore) were 50/50 imo.

But overall so happy with Tyson.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
