WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - DOM TYSON

Featured Replies

So we now have picks 9 (still gets us a classy mid), 21 (compo... hopefully) and 53 (which essentially means we got Viv Michie (sp?) for free). Nice one MFC!

We just confirmed this is the whole deal:

Dom Tyson, pick 9 and pick 53 to us.

Picks 2, 20 and 74 to the Giants.

Still a great deal. We will still probably trade our Sylvia compo pick for Vince and then use Picks 9, 36 and 53 on players/upgrades.

Pick 2 & 20!? really? I wouldve thought just 2 would be adequate..

 

What is Mahoney on about?

Manager of Football Operations Josh Mahoney said: “We’ve been able to bring in a class midfielder in Tyson, and improve our second draft selection from pick 20 to pick 9 in what we see as a fairly even draft.

We have also been able to improve our pick 72 to pick 53, so the net effect of the deal is very positive for the Melbourne Football Club.”

We lost pick 2, so 9 is our first selection...or does Mahoney know something about potential Sylvia compensation (unlikely, I'd say this is just a mistake)

Here is what Knightmare had to say in his Phantom Draft from 2011:

#3 GWS - Dom Tyson (VIC - Mid)
Height: 186cm, Weight: 82kg, DOB: 08/06/1993
Recruited from: Oakleigh Chargers
Style: Simon Black
Player comparison:
Range: 3-5
Profile: Real standout throughout the champs and has really risen up the rankings in a hurry. Really good genuine footballer who doesn’t stand out athletically, but can do it all. Left footer, but can use his right, and use it well when he needs to. Has a really high work rate and has great endurance. Has great vision. Skill level is exceptional for an inside player and has all the footy smarts and decision making ability you could hope for. Big time ball accumulator who should have a fairly immediate impact at the next level through the midfield.
Why: It is Tyson v Wingard for this selection. I think Wingard is the better talent, but I do think with the way Tyson performed throughout the U18 champs and the way he closed out the season that he might just go that one selection highe


Tyson has averaged like 14 disposals. Looks like a bit of a fail for us. Time will tell

Unless you think about it like this:

Pick 2 for Tyson, who was pick 3 just two years ago and he's had 2 years already in the system.

Pick 9 for Pick 20.

Pick 53 for Pick 74.

I really, really like this deal. He will be a 10 year player for us and is just the sort of midfielder we need. Would much rather him than Kelly, Aish or Billings, players so many have said we don't need due to their build.

I would think he means that we have basically used our 1st pick already (on Tyson) and now our 2nd is 9 instead of 20. Makes sense.

WHy did he only play 3 games this year?

PCL injury that sidelined him for 5 months. No serious injury history apart from that.

He has had an injury interrupted first 2 seasons but will be every bit as good as or better than Aish or Scharbnerg or whoever gets taken at pick 2

Watch his highlights, he moves like Pendlebury and has insane skills like him too

This is going to make West Coast nervous about downgrading pick 6 to pick 10 considering they want Dom Sheed so badly.

Would be nice if they took the risk and we ended up taking Sheed at 9

I see. Not entirely true, but I like Mahoney's spinning anyway.

Getting Tyson plus another top 10 pick is a great win for this club.

Dom Tyson is a great get ...

whats left ...Nd picks ??? 9 *mid (freeman?) , 36 * small fwd, 53 * young full back ???

to add to Hogan, Michie #54 trade, Tyson, Vince (compo trade)

Zac Jones might be marooned!!!


It's a phenomenal get. Tyson is a monumental talent and has been in the system for a while.

I rate him higher than Shiel and we've still got pick 9 for another great mid in the draft (hopefully).

Great result MFC.

He suffered a bad knee injury in 2012 which hampered his ability to play this year, but let me tell you this kid is fantastic. Another Oakleigh Chargers boy, who was in the young development squad when I was there he is an incredible inside player. Brilliant inside hands, and whilst not an enormous body a fantastic core that makes him look like he's always in control. Judd-like in the instance of being not enormously big, but looks completely comfortable on the inside.

He would have played one year with Viv Michie too, which who knows if that had any influence.

I too agree I would've loved to keep pick 21.. But to get upgrade 20 to 9, which should see us net Nathan Freeman *touchwood* this is going brilliantly.

Just to recap this is who is coming to our club..


Jesse Hogan....

A ready to fire Viv Michie

Pick 3 Dom Tyson

The 9th best player in the country this year

With potentially Vince, Cross or someone else to come, this team is turning around. And fast.

Agreed.

Our midfield is certainly taking shape. A young core of Viney, Toumpas, Tyson, Michie and Pick 9 to go with Jones, Trengove, Grimes and possibly Vince means we are looking much, much better already.

That's how I read it.

As far as trade dealings are concerned:

Swap Tyson for pick 2

Swap ND9 for ND20

And the other trade is an extra little sweetener, for a pick GWS would never use anyway but we probably will now.

fair enough, i havent seen too much of him so i was just putting it out there. Hopefully u are right then

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+++

I am assuming the MFC put him through fitness testing and did a full background check on his knee , the kid has only player 13 games thanks to injury but is no doubt a monumental talent

And to put an even more positive spin on it, depending on what positions people are recruiting for, pick 9 is actually a bit higher than 9th best... assuming after Boyd they were all mids, then that is 8th best mid at worst; but I'm guessing there are some others in there that aren't mids.

  On 17/10/2013 at 23:36, cooko said:

well done, brilliant

Eloquent, wasn't it?

Honestly though, you're essentially criticising the kid based on his first season.

Only 3 games this year due to injury, so he hasn't had a lot of chance to raise those averages.

I think we need to relax and trust Roos on this one until we see evidence otherwise.

  • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

    It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

  • NON-MFC: Round 09

    Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
