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.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
