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?

    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.

    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

    Tyson, Michie and Viney all Oakleigh Chargers boys.

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

    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.

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

    Iron Mike?

    The Dominator

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
