Tyson will create his own name, he's looking like one of those player that just rises to the top.

 
 

21 games and 6-8 years off his prime, he is a scary prospect


Tonnes of man love for him. Great pick up, will be our best player before too long. Done more in his first 8 games with us, than his #12 predecessor ever did (and it pains me to say that, as i was a huge Sylvia fan).

186 cm, 81kgs. So will get physically bigger/stronger.

Just wait until he tips the scales at 86kgs. :blink:

 

I am too young to have seen Robbie Flower play, which is why I confidently state that Dom Tyson will soon become the best demon midfielder I've seen play. The kid is everything you would want in an inside midfielder, and his vision and awareness makes him a freak. It's an early call, but he will be the champ that Johnstone should have been...

Jones, Yze and a couple of Vineys will probably round out my top 5 by the way!

good job GWS for offloading the best kid you had

morons LOL

Well done MFC Tyson is amazing.

What is the logic behind your 6-8 year estimate?

Looks to me like he could certainly hit his prime as early as next year.

The more a see him the more I think he's the image of Terry Wallace in his prime - looks slow but is so smart, finds space and is deceptively strong - even his left foot kicking action is the same as Wallace.

He doesn't look particularly strong but his strength through the core is amazing. Looks almost impossible to tackle, stands up in the tackles and around the stoppages and even when tackled is always able to get a handball off. Love this kid more and more every week.


And i'm on the bandwagon!
He stood up when we needed him most. He Just finds space in the traffic when it just shouldn't exist - ignores the tackle, puts the arms-up and runs through everyone.

Also love the fact he has started to hit the scoreboard, was the only real query I had about him but looks like he's got that covered.

That goal was kicked from inside the centre square!

What a gem, superb game tonight.

Dom has a great left foot but it let's him down a bit when he has to kick under 30mtrs; when he has a ping at goal from outside 50 you can almost back it in.

better than our last number 12

Has Tyson already achieved more in his handful of games he has played for the MFC than Sylvia did in his entire career playing for us?

That's a pretty good call.

I here that he's a bit of a perfectionist and hates missing targets. He will get much better as time moves on, his improvement in all aspects of his game so far this year has been good and he will only get better.

He needs to find a right foot tho, always turns onto his left and soon they will figure it out.

There's a premiership team called Hawthorn who have a lot of players who always turn on their left. If you've ever watched Josh Gibson try and kick on his right it is one of the funniest things in football.

Most players only go one way and their coaches encourage it. Tyson does have a get out on his right and has used it but will naturally go to his strong foot as all AFL players except Sam Mitchell do and as Sam Blease thinks he can.

I find Tyson knows how to get on his left and doesn't get hampered by it much.

Viney, on the other hand, needs to get some confidence in his right foot, he's much worse than Tyson at using it or getting on to his left.

Tyson's right-footed inside 50 in the last quarter was a real momentum killer. Was being chased down but should have produced a better kick

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
