It was a good trade and the right thing to do at the time.  We needed someone who could step in right away and it was always about weighing up the odds of two potentially good players vs one potentially good player.  If the Salem pick went to recruiting Cripps at pick 12, then it would have been a master-stroke.  It’s swing and roundabouts.

Not to mention that fact that Roos has said several times that that pick was never going to Kelly, but to Billings.

Its very easy to snipe in retrospect, but even 7 years later you’ve err’d; if we had kept Pick 2 we should have used it on Bontempelli.  
 

Drafting’s much easier a decade after the fact.

How can you say it was good? Dom Tyson can't get a game...

    1. He's injured.  This has been covered already and you are choosing to ignore it.

    2. I believe that in 2013, being offered a young, former pick 3 and pick 9 is a good deal.  The trade was and still is equitable.  We take Cripps with that pick, then we've completely have nailed it. 

    In 2013 we had Nathan Jones in the middle with an 18yo Jack Viney... then that was it.

    I feel for Dom. I would have easily kept him as depth and last year he would have easily played a lot of games if fit. I honestly thought after his 2014 year, he was going to go on to become a 200 game workhorse for this club. 

    He ended up playing 94 games for this club which is a great achievement in itself. I am sure the club will always welcome him back with open arms for future functions

    I hope Dom can get his body right and play some solid games for the Roos. An outstanding individual off field also.

    Dom’s career underlines just how hard this game is, and that nothing can be taken for granted for any player. It’s also why I think criticism of players on forums that gets personal is such poor form.

    look at some of the stuff that we have seen posted about the McDonald’s on this site over the years. I’m really enjoying the way the Omac has worked his butt off to improve himself (and the team) and is proving some of his vicious critics wrong.

    It was the right trade at the time. I reckon he could help North right now if fit. Haven't exactly won that deal.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
