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: 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.
