Finally, a possible A-Grader

Featured Replies

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.

 

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?


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

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.

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

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

  • CASEY: Collingwood

    It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
    The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
    Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
