This is as faithfully quoted as possible, on the run:

Neil cordy writes in the HUN ...After just two games, its clear to see why the Giants last week extended his (Kelly) contract to 2017. It is also clear to question why Melbourne gave away its rights to Kelly in pre-draft dealings last season, in exchanging picks No.2 and 20 for pick no 9 and Dom Tyson...

Tyson, 20, has been one of the Dees best players so far this season and was their leading ball winner yesterday...

But Kelly, 19, has shown signs of greatness in his two games as sub.

As noted, Tyson had 25 possessions, 10 clearances.

This was 6 more clearances than any other Melbourne player.

Only Treloar and Cognilio had more and they were roving to Mumford who was outstanding.

Neil Cordys best: M Jones, Howe, Frawley, Watts, Jones.

It's easy to pile on the unsuccessful club, but this is just a nonsense. Tyson not included in the best either demonstrates a failure to understand the game, or an attempt to colour a pretty poorly thought out article.

Its easy to do as we have the worst team in the league.

Listening to Finey on SEN last night and he spoke about how he was lucky enough to go to a few Grammar games last season, and witnessed Kelly absolutely tearing the games apart. Said the kids an absolute freak and there was only one other player playing who was on par with him, who also shred the games and opposition he saw to pieces. That player was Christian Salem.

So i recon pick 2 and 20, for Tyson and Salem is a bloody beauty.

we knew Kelly was going to be a gun, this really shouldn't come as a surprise

Tyson has shown enough that in combination with my opinion of Salem i am still very comfortable with the decision we made

He has also said Jayden Hunt could be better than both

no he didn't, what he actually was he was a steal by us, as when Shawy invited him down to watch one time, Hunt played a better game than those 2. So based on that he may be better someday. Which really isn't such a bad thing for us is it?

Geeze with your ability to create "facts from fiction" you could get a job at the HUN.

No, i said he HAS said it. He said it a couple of times in the week after the draft and that he umpired a couple of his games I think.

I rarely read the Hun and this article emphasises why.

Just poor journalism.

Tyson keeps me wanting to go to the football, there's still plenty of improvement for him but he's shown himself to be a very worthy pick up and a value trade with Salem still to come. People will be crying for Roos to play Salem but I think Roos will stay the course and let him develop with less pressure.

Matt Jones as our best player was probably the best indicator that he bases his post-game write-ups on stats not vision.

Journalism is a sorry industry these days. They wonder why we don't pay for the paper anymore...

Tyson is only solid becauase he had two years development at the Giants.

If we took Kelly as a rookie he would not be playing the way he currently is. I'm happy with Dom and Salem.

Posted

The pundits can say what they want about Kelly. He'll most likely be a star, but early signs are that we got the Tyson/Salem deal right. A rare win.

Been happy with Tyson so far but how many times did he get pinged for holding the ball yesterday, trying to do too much.

Should've been listed in our best.

It would've been a great deal less amount of times if he had some mates going with him, knowing where to run and backing themselves and their teammate to break a line.

Watching the top teams it only highlights how important it is to know your role intimately, back your team mates and always be on the move.

We have so far to go, I don't hope Tyson changes that part of his game - I hope his teammates change theirs!

Spot on 45. Our 5 year players refuse to learn anything.

Tyson's stats are very good with the exception of tackles. He only had 1 and needs to stick a couple more.

Tyson is head and shoulders above the majority of our midfield and one of our few quality players, I have never seen Salem other than a few training session preseason but he looks skillful and has some pace. I think potentially this was a very good deal for the Dees getting a ready to go potential A grader in Tyson and having Salem coming in to the side later this season or next year.

I dont read the HUN or News.com because the reporting is rubbish and dont want to waste my eyes on it. Its not surprise the reporting is lazy, sessasionalist and without basis. They are a pack of flogs

Mixed him up with the Matt Jones who just won the Houston Open golf.

i do apologise, i thought you were having a dig at me. It's very tense round these parts of late.

Actually TFSK I find it quite the reverse I have never known Demonland to be this quite and polite.

Might be that now the vast majority have a similar view of our situation.

It's an area of his game he needs to work on, I'm sure the coach will be on top of this.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
