The official I love Dom Tyson thread

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.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
