Out of interest i wonder where Edmunds industry sources think Tyson would go if he was available in this years draft.

It's quite clear, that the recruiting manager who wished to go unnamed was Barry Prendergast.

    Would Roos trade Tyson and Salem for pick 2 or for Kelly?

    No way, he wouldn't even trade one of those players for Kelly.

    Kelly has a long way to go to even match Tyson and there's no guarantee that it will happen.

    Has composure and class, doesn't mind getting his hands dirty, has a big kick on him, straight-lines the ball.

    Have we ever had a midfielder at Melbourne do what this kid is doing in his first few games for the club? Don't forget, he was barely a player for GWS - 15 games over two years, with his second season ruined by injury.

    I can't quite fathom how impressive he looks.

    Loved Mitch Clark's tweet yesterday saying he reminded him of Simon Black and Luke Hodge.

    Yes, please!!

    Not sure if it's mentioned anywhere but Dom was on the Sunday Footy Show.

    Very impressive kid, on and off the field.

    His old mate Damo Barrett was sitting 2 seats away and never said a [censored] word for the whole segment, the gutless piece of [censored] [censored] [censored] rat bastard.

    Wrong Barrett was already off the show once Tyson came.

    Guys, it wasn't just Damian Barrett who made a clown of himself about this trade. What about the Herald-Sun's Mr Smug, Sam Edmund? Remember this belter of an article after Round 3? I just tweeted "Slammin Sam" to go and talk to his dumb recruiter mates now and see what they think.

    http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/if-youre-a-melbourne-supporter-look-away-now-demons-draft-bungles-aplenty/story-fni5f91a-1226881324821

    Did anyone notice Sam Edmund gave Tyson the 3 votes in the Sunday H-Sun????

    I'm looking forward to watching Tyson's game develop more and more.

    We have picked up an excellent recruit (not to mention Salem) who at the age of nearly 21 is showing all the signs of a future star.

    The highlight with this post is trying to work out what the "censored" words are. I've tried to fill in the blanks, but I want to see if the poster and I are on the same page.

    Surely the mods can make it that any post that is having a go at Barrett escapes the censorship rules?

    Pick 20 was also part of that trade, a lot of people seem to have forgotten that.

    I do believe we won that trade and was happy it happened but it's worth mentioning that pick 2 wasn't a straight swap for Tyson and pick 9 (Salem).

    Yes that's why I'd go back and not do that whole trade if I could.

    Tyson is ok, but he's no A Maric, Strauss, Blease or Tapscott.

    I'm not suggesting that at all.

    I just don't like seeing the trade being construed as "Tyson/pick 9 (Salem) for pick 2". That would have been trade of the century but that's not what happened, pick 20 was also involved.

    Yeah I wasn't having a go at you, was having a laugh. And a go at the club for p!ssing away pick 20ish on numerous occasions.

    At least it was involved in something useful this time.

    Look it up.

    Pick 2, pick 20 and pick 72 for Tyson, pick 9 and pick 53.

    That's the trade that happened.

    As I said before I believe we won the trade and I'm very very happy to have Tyson on the list but I get annoyed when people insinuate we outright got Tyson/Salem for Kelly.

    Pick 20 could have been Crouch, it wasn't a nothing pick.

    Didn't we take JHK with pick 53?

    I thought it was 40? But yes it was a great get, very fortunate Hawthorn took the punt on Garlett instead.

    Ok we are both wrong. We got pick 57 not 53 and with that we picked Hunt.

    But we got Salem and Tyson.

    It was basically:

    Salem- Kelly

    Tyson- pick 20

    Hunt- Pass

    now that combo, i'm happy.

    I cant even begin to tell you how silly your comment sounded to me

    I think of it more as

    #2 for Dom

    #20 for Salem

    Hunt for #72

    On that basis I am still happy.

    All in all we just need good footballers at the club - their actual draft number (as we have learnt) means squat.

    I also think that GWS wont be seen as losers from this transaction. They spread their list age a bit more, add a different midfield profile to the group in Kelly as well.

    There's another issue involved in the Tyson/Salem v Kelly debate which hasn't even been mentioned. The Melbourne strategy has reduced risk. I don't wish ill will on any player involved, but if one has a career threatening industry in his early years, which team would be better off? Melbourne still with one of Tyson or Salem playing or GWS with no-one? Sure, the higher risk (ie, GWS strategy) may produce a higher reward...but it also has a higher risk of going pear shaped.

    I think the initial thinking was we would get 2 good players for 1 great player potentially

    but I am of the opinion Tyson will be at least as good as Kelly and Salem could well reach that level also so it's got the potential to be a massive win for us.

    After the Bulldogs game, Giansiricusa was on GameDay where he did the review of the game.

    They do a "Three Things I Learned" at the end of their review

    One of Gia's three things went along the lines "Dom Tyson won't BE a star, he already is one"

    How about we add to the lexicon.

    That Scully is a barrett. Or

    Collingwood supporters are barretts.

    I need to go to the toilet to do a big barrett because i have a bad case of the barretts.

    If you don't agree then you are a big barrett you rat barrett barrett.

    No offence to the reader. If you take offence go barrett yourself.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
