Fell off my chair tonight when Damo Barrett admitted, ON AIR, on FC that he might have been wrong about his criticism of the Kelly/Salem/Tyson deal. Respect due where respect is due.

    Might?

    Almost fell off my chair too

    I guess hes not all that bad if he can admit when hes wrong, but hes silly for making an such an early uninformed call right when the trade happened and admitting on air to Terry Wallace that he had never seen Tyson play

    That's it. He's a dingbat.

    The closest player-type that I could compare Dom to is Pendelbury.

    Just watch how good Dom's hands are in close. He handballs it to where the players need to be, which puts them in a world of space.

    I said it last week, players like Toumpas, Salem, Viney and Trengove should become very good friends of Dom's - he will make them famous.

    I think the bloke your looking for is Simon Black, you just don't notice them racking up the possies - dishing it out with absolutely no fuss at all. Vossy, Aker, Lappin and Power all benefitted majorly from Blacky doing what he does best. Dom has a similar build and skill set - can't wait to see what he could do with a couple of full preseason's injury free

    good comparison. Also a left footer, which is a big plus I reckon as it gives him a bit more time.

    I'm happy with my Pendlebury comparison, thanks anyway.

    But, if he turns out anywhere near as good as Pendlebury or Black, then that's a big win.

    I'm confident that he has what it takes to achieve this.

    Footy Classified also compared stats for Tyson's first 20 games with the first 20 for others including Judd, Ablett, Deledio and a couple of other stars of the game. He appears to have had an average of more disposals and tackles (and something else...was it goals?) per game than all of them. Admittedly, possession numbers today are much greater per team than just a few years ago, so if those stars were starting out today I'm sure their figures would be higher too. But let's not let the facts get too much in the way of a good story.

    Barrett is still a muppet of epic flogness.

    Even when he admits he was wrong he is still a crud, gutter journo chasing ambulances with a ego the size of hutchies gut.

    So, do you like Barrett or not? Stop sitting on the fence!

    Maybe for outside mids, Tyson gets most of his possessions inside.

    And i doubt mids get many more disposals on average. Its the back half whose numbers would have increased given they're the ones doing much of the chipping around (with some midfield help)

    Tried to cover his backside by saying it's a debate that we'll be having for the next 10 years, but only succeeded in making himself look like an idiot as he was the one who rushed to judgement without even seeing 2 of the 3 protagonists play.

    I'm not a Barrett hater like many on this site, but he has every reason to be red-faced over this one.

    I am not a Barrett hater either. I am fairly ambivalent about him. I do think he is a terrible waste of oxygen though. If I want to listen to the opinion of idiots I could go to a Collingwood Carlton match.

    I am far less forgiving than others on here, would personally rather [censored] in my hands and clap than listen to that parasite dribble his bias [censored]

    Barrett actually said that he "quieried" it - "the Tyson -Salem combination for the loss of the Kelly pick."

    He didn't say he had criticized it or make any apology. In fact in saying that it is a debate that will go on for 10 or even 15 years,

    he is saying he is not at this stage backing down.

    Actually, skill set aside, the way Dom Tyson moves and his authority around the ground reminds me of Luke Hodge.

    Damian Barrett is a pathetic loser

    Simply a statement of fact. We all know it to be true, and he reinforces it on a daily basis.

    Tyson + Salem = massive win.

    Tyson is a star. 10+ clearances, 2 goals. Gun.

    Dom Tyson is Dom Tyson. He is not Pendlebury, or anyone else for that matter. And yes, he is very good.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
