JackVineyForPresident 310 Posted May 3, 2014 Posted May 3, 2014 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. 1 Quote
What 18,810 Posted May 3, 2014 Posted May 3, 2014 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 7 Quote
bananas 428 Posted May 3, 2014 Posted May 3, 2014 GWS could have taken jesus christ himself at pick 2 and we still win the trade Dom Tyson and Christian Salem, yes please Jesus comes from a basketball background, he'll never have the hardness to be a top line AFL player. 17 Quote
JackVineyForPresident 310 Posted May 3, 2014 Author Posted May 3, 2014 Forget Salem and Kelly for a second. This kid has all the makings of a star 1 Quote
Straight Sets Simon 23,113 Posted May 3, 2014 Posted May 3, 2014 He'll be very good, just really needs to clean up his disposal. 2 Quote
JackVineyForPresident 310 Posted May 4, 2014 Author Posted May 4, 2014 He'll be very good, just really needs to clean up his disposal. he had one particular shank where he took a mark in the middle of the ground yesterday that frustrated me. Something shocking. Redeemed himself with his goal in congestion 2 Quote
rjay 25,424 Posted May 4, 2014 Posted May 4, 2014 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.

Devil In Disguise 2,284 Posted May 4, 2014 Posted May 4, 2014 I'm on board. That goal in the last quarter was crucial. Hope he just keeps getting better. 1 Quote
Bang Bang Bang 5,875 Posted May 4, 2014 Posted May 4, 2014 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. 1 Quote
Pates 9,697 Posted May 4, 2014 Posted May 4, 2014 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. Quote
stevethemanjordan 6,952 Posted May 4, 2014 Posted May 4, 2014 Tyson Viney Salem JKH 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. 3 Quote
Young Dee 1,303 Posted May 4, 2014 Posted May 4, 2014 (edited) 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. Edited May 4, 2014 by Young Dee 1 Quote
JackVineyForPresident 310 Posted May 4, 2014 Author Posted May 4, 2014 Averaging 23.1 disposals and 5.9 marks ... absolutely mad pickup Quote

But i agree Quote
Carlos Danger 380 Posted May 4, 2014 Posted May 4, 2014 This year's midfield is like day and night compared to last year's and Tyson is a huge part of that (along with Vince and Cross). I'm very keen to see what Roos has in mind for the trade table next season. Quote

Gorgoroth 13,218 Posted May 4, 2014 Posted May 4, 2014 Don't forget he missed a chunk of pre season too. Quote
Deano74 156 Posted May 4, 2014 Posted May 4, 2014 Roos commented at start of season he thought Dom will be a star. Im happy to back his judgement. Hes getting better by the week. 3 Quote
DeeZee 7,496 Posted May 4, 2014 Posted May 4, 2014 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. Quote
Pates 9,697 Posted May 4, 2014 Posted May 4, 2014 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. 1 Quote
Maldonboy38 6,435 Posted May 4, 2014 Posted May 4, 2014 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 Quote
