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.

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

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
