Tyson - was actually shocked to see Carazzo come to him on Saturday, was told by coaches to just keep playing the way he has been told to, was pleased with his defenisve efforts

Pretty good compliment for a kid lining up in his 17th AFL game.

    I told him that, still think he needs convincing on how good he is

    On that note, at the end of the training, Vince, Tyson and Nate Jones had a goal kicking comp for lunch

    This is in the left pocket next to the fence so about 30 metres and a 15 degree angle, Tyson put all three of his shots through for a goal post high with his left foot...much to the other two's disgust, Jones got 2 out of 3 and Vince missed all three

    I reckon a fit Nev Jetta running through the mid field would be like having another Jack Viney.

    Seems like a great bloke. Hope he gets a go soon.

    Not surprising though, the guy is an absolute ball magnet. The first of many tags, I'd expect. Still can't believe he landed on our laps.

    Yet the "experts" still think we should've taken Kelly.

    F-wits.

    You haven't heard about Josh Kelly?

    Future brownlow medallist, that kid.

    Ask around, there's plenty of people who haven't even seen him play yet, but they still know that much...

    Oh well...that's the way it goes. Tyson looks a future Brownlow chance to me.

    I know. The concept that a high profile trade could be a win for both parties is one lost on the halfwits that comment on our game.

    Looks like it could be at this early stage.

    "Nev Jetta said he hasn't had anything about being elevated"

    He's the obvious candidate. As far as selection goes, he and Clisby must be neck and neck.

    sounds like he's banging the door down on the seniors. Good reports on his casey performances.

    What is the "Watts" goal kicking approach? Walking in slowly or something?

    Damien Barrett criticises Dom Tyson trade to Mfc... has never seen him play...

    They both explained it to me, part of it is the 'relaxing', Roh Bail was worried about it the second he picked up the ball to go back and prepare, basically Watts has told him to just do the routine like Watts does, he counts the steps backwards, relaxes his shoulders and drops his arms and takes a long slow breath, sights the goal, starts slowly and then tries to just make it one smooth flowing action coming in.......the main point is not to worry about anything just concentrate on following the simple routine...seemed to work for both of them on Saturday, if you watch you will see the similarity.......watch Dunn if you want to see something completely different

    Healy on "on the couch" stuck up for us over that.

    Think Healy is only now interested in us because of the strong Swans connections.

    I switched off when you quoted Damian Barrett.

    Yeah that's how I got good at golf after being a hacker most of my life...

    Your routine controls your thoughts so anxiety can't.

    I hope Nev gets elevated , he is hard and with full fitness will be valuable . More of a footballer and around the same size as Swan Ablett senior and junior . Allthough god would give him trouble

    I thought I noticed him & Jack saying something to each other after he nailed that goal.

    Great initiative by Roh Bail to seek out the best set shot in the club & ask him how he goes about it.

    From all reports Salem played well last week. How did he train? Any idea how soon before we see a debut?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    • 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?
