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

Tyson would've been spent.

Don't forget it is basically Dom's first year.

GWS must surely be kicking themselves atm, I know Kelly is good.. But Tyson is looking sublime.

    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?

    His start to his career and current form is more consistent than Sylvia ever was. Let alone when Sylvia was 20, not even close to the same.

    Tyson was great last night, but I particularly liked his efforts in giving Jones a chop out by pushing Picken off him and around at some of the stoppages.

    Interesting that in the article on the MFC website, Roos again reiterated that we would not have taken Kelly had we held on to pick 2. I suspect they wanted Salem and took the view that he'd still be there at 9. If that's the case, we got Tyson basically for nothing.

    Sounds pretty rosy. Since we'll never know the truth, I choose to believe it :)

    Someone at the time said we did the trade because the guy we rated at 2 would be at 9 but they thought it was freeman

    I have been watching Dom closely this year and I am starting to believe that the reason he looks slow at times is because he is one of those very few that seem to be able to create time and space wherever he goes. There was a passage of play last night after receiving a clean tap from Jamar that I thought he would either be wrapped up or lucky to get a handball away, but to my surprise he was able to run through heavy traffic and get a kick away.

    I love this kid, he is fast becoming my favorite player and just seems to have the ability to slow things down and make them look so easy. Also when you watch him in traffic he just seems able to fend off his opponents with a flick of his hips.

    Here's hoping we all have at least a good decade of being in awe of his abilities.

    I suspect it might've been Scharenberg, and given his foot injury we might've actually dodged a bullet there.

    Either him or Aish would be my bet.

    ...be interesting to see how Scharenberg comes up, the kid can play and I was surprised GWS didn't go with him given they have a surplus of small medium mids. Maybe they didn't like the chances with the foot injury.

    Whilst I think the above, I like your story better. I think I will adopt that one.

    essentially we got salem and tyson for kelly.

    So far its looking like we did pretty well for it.
    Salems got a long way to go but he has the basis of a good footballer.

    Tyson shows a lot of talent, just gotta tidy up some ends and consistency.

    We'll really start seeing the effects of this trade next year when both have games under their belt, and both are in our starting 22. With another trade season, Roos will bring in new players to send M. Jones, Terlich, Bail, Byrnes (OOC?) and Pedo down to the seconds.

    As for D. Tyson, don't want to get ahead of myself, but I think we may have found the next superstar of the game. This kid will flourish under Roos, and once he perfects his kicking he'll be one of our most important players.

    Hawthorn rated Salem a top 3 prospect. Massive steal for us in Getting both Dom and Christian.

    So: Tyson and 53 for pick 22 and 73?

    That's a good deal...

    And make those new players earn it.

    No doubt. Michie has been dropped and Riley hasn't been in the seniors yet, they have to earn it. Even Hogan will.

    I'm surprised Salem slipped to #9 when so many teams had him rated so highly. Is this just the lousy Giants recruitment strategy?

    Wouldn't be surprised if Billings was rated at 2. I think we were shy on Kelly and Aish because of our history with the skinnier types. Those guys have shown that they are be able to win their own (which was in question, particularly with Aish) , but Salem already has a pretty good frame for a new draftee.

    Didn't know that. Where did you hear that?

    Makes sense given their penchant for left footers who are strong over the ball.

    Hawks also have a habit of not going with popular opinion when it comes to drafting, and generally it works out well for them.

    The Tyson / Salem deal is starting to look like one of the best trade deals of recent times.

    Let's be honest though. We were due.

    If that is right (and I am not doubting it) it would make sense. Strong hard at it left footer with a lethal boot.

    Tyson and Jayden Hunt for Darcy Gardiner (who is at Brisbane due to an on trade) and a pass from GWS.

    Pretty happy if you ask me.

    Tyson and 53 for pick 22

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive.

Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
