The official I love Dom Tyson thread

Featured Replies

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

  • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

    As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
