I actually cannot express how much i love this guy.

I absolutely love watching the way Dom goes about his footy. I will be surprised if at some point Dom isnt an elite AFL player.

Also, i love the fact he's doing all of this. Making the Tyson and Salem trade even sweeter at the moment. I hope the critics start talking about how good Tyson is and promising Salem is.. rather than endlessly talking about Kelly.

Dom in his 3rd year is as good as anyone.

Pretty hard to get a game with a calf injury that's kept him out all season.

He was a decent player who filled a need at the time. I don’t know why people feel the need to whack club and player for no reason over ancient history.

Jesus comes from a basketball background, he'll never have the hardness to be a top line AFL player.

Not hard to see why he went at pick 3 a couple of years back

I wonder if that clueless tool Damian Barratt has watched him play yet? [censored] [censored]

GWS could have taken jesus christ himself at pick 2 and we still win the trade

Dom Tyson and Christian Salem, yes please

He'll be very good, just really needs to clean up his disposal.

Occasional he has a bit of a brain fade with his disposal which I expect he will clean up with a bit more experience; seem to remember someone called Sam Mitchell doing the same early in his career.

At the moment, he reminds me of a poor man's Simon Black, with a touch of Scott Pendlebury. Now I don't expect him to reach the level of either (we are talking about two of the best players this century), but he's playing exactly the way you hope a Top 3 pick would. I'm a big fan.

That goal at the end was class, and a real clutch moment as well.

Love the kid, we have done VERY well out of that deal throwing Salem in as well.

Viney

Salem

New breed, under a new environment with new coaches and players like Cross and Jones to learn from.

Throw in another highly talented midfielder or two next year from GWS and things start to look pretty exciting...

Give me Sheil and O'Rourke.

Happy days.

This kid puzzles me - never see him get the ball - then look at the stats at the end and he has like 30 touches. Think I might watch the game again - going to watch this kid closely next week.

Best thing is the kid has only played 20 games - not even a full season.

I see him as a Jobe Watson type, big bodied midfielder with great hands and footy smarts.

Im so rapt we have finally found a few in Tyson , JKH and Salem to compliment Viney Jones Vince and cross.

He's going to be on FC this week, I hope Lyon calls him on it because it was such a short sighted simplistic view he put forward with that trade. Did not actually open his eyes to the bigger picture, just wanted to create more controversy about Melbourne.

His kicking has been a worry, but he had a great day yesterday. He just constantly gets the ball and is taking a heap more marks than I ever expected him to. I have to remind myself that he has played just a handful of games and has suffered a season ending injury early in his career. At this stage he is one of the best young trades/recruits we have done in recent memory.

I see him very much as as a Job Watson type - if he gets anywhere near as good as Watson I will be stoked.

His kicking will surely improve, one can only hope.

But i see him as a mixture of Watson and Pendlebury.

He creates time with the ball, which is vindictive of the way Pendles plays.

As for the times when he gets caught holding the ball, it's usually because there's no one infront of him and therefore he tries to hold it up, but gets caught

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
