Finally, a possible A-Grader

[KingDingAling 3,758]

Tyson is a star, this is what other sides expect of top 5 draft picks.

Yet down at the MFC, it is somewhat of a miracle if these picks turn out half as good as D.Tyson.

Very good trade Roosy.

2 games in, I dare say most sides would part with pick 2 alone for Tyson, he looks exceptional.

While I left the game on Sunday in a fit of depression, I have D Tyson to thank for my depression being less than suicidal.

A ray of hope is he.

And I wish Bernie Vince was 5 years younger!

I am sick of the media saying that he better be good cause Melbourne traded pick 2 for him.

Why did he play so few games at GWS? That is, what sort of injury or injuries did he have?

[FC Melbourne 108]

We are still missing a couple of Isaac Smith/Stephen Hill types. Blease doesn't have a big enough tank, Bail hasn't got the necessary skill, Toumpas and Trengove too slow.

Kent?

The talented junior did not get much chance to show his wares with Greater Western Sydney, being restricted to 10 games in 2012 because of a shin complaint and then playing just three games in 2013 after overcoming a knee problem. Tyson is a tall midfielder who adds to the Demons’ midfield mix and is capable of bringing players into the game with his quick hands and competitive attitude. He has had two pre-seasons and, while he remains something of an unknown quantity at AFL level, he is expected to develop into a quality player in the next few years.

Player honours: NAB AFL Rising Star nominee 2012.

Previous AFL club: GWS Giants (2012-13: 13 games, 4 goals)

With Tyson, jones and cross in the middle and vince and viney going in there im confident that area is sorted.

Nothing is ever sorted. It's forever evolving. Cross and Vince will not last forever. We'll be lucky to have Cross for 2 yrs.

[Ted Lasso 19,549]

I'd say Jack Viney and Jesse Hogan have shown enough to suggest they should develop into A grade player.

100% agree. There's a lot of false narrative out there, but this is one that a media type just shouldn't be so silly to enter into. No idea how good Salem might be, but that was a real value trade and could be seen as lopsided one day (Kelly and Tyson both look to be guns, Salem who knows?).

On the lack of midfield speed, doesn't Salem have a fair yard of pace?

From what i have seen, Salem can be easily compared to Dan Hannebry or Adam Yze, his real asset is his beautiful left foot and his mix of inside grunt and outside polish

Tydon has impressed ... a good trade once we see Salem.
