Fell off my chair tonight when Damo Barrett admitted, ON AIR, on FC that he might have been wrong about his criticism of the Kelly/Salem/Tyson deal. Respect due where respect is due.

    Might?

    Almost fell off my chair too

    I guess hes not all that bad if he can admit when hes wrong, but hes silly for making an such an early uninformed call right when the trade happened and admitting on air to Terry Wallace that he had never seen Tyson play

    That's it. He's a dingbat.

    The closest player-type that I could compare Dom to is Pendelbury.

    Just watch how good Dom's hands are in close. He handballs it to where the players need to be, which puts them in a world of space.

    I said it last week, players like Toumpas, Salem, Viney and Trengove should become very good friends of Dom's - he will make them famous.

    I think the bloke your looking for is Simon Black, you just don't notice them racking up the possies - dishing it out with absolutely no fuss at all. Vossy, Aker, Lappin and Power all benefitted majorly from Blacky doing what he does best. Dom has a similar build and skill set - can't wait to see what he could do with a couple of full preseason's injury free

    good comparison. Also a left footer, which is a big plus I reckon as it gives him a bit more time.

    I'm happy with my Pendlebury comparison, thanks anyway.

    But, if he turns out anywhere near as good as Pendlebury or Black, then that's a big win.

    I'm confident that he has what it takes to achieve this.

    Footy Classified also compared stats for Tyson's first 20 games with the first 20 for others including Judd, Ablett, Deledio and a couple of other stars of the game. He appears to have had an average of more disposals and tackles (and something else...was it goals?) per game than all of them. Admittedly, possession numbers today are much greater per team than just a few years ago, so if those stars were starting out today I'm sure their figures would be higher too. But let's not let the facts get too much in the way of a good story.

    Barrett is still a muppet of epic flogness.

    Even when he admits he was wrong he is still a crud, gutter journo chasing ambulances with a ego the size of hutchies gut.

    So, do you like Barrett or not? Stop sitting on the fence!

    Maybe for outside mids, Tyson gets most of his possessions inside.

    And i doubt mids get many more disposals on average. Its the back half whose numbers would have increased given they're the ones doing much of the chipping around (with some midfield help)

    Tried to cover his backside by saying it's a debate that we'll be having for the next 10 years, but only succeeded in making himself look like an idiot as he was the one who rushed to judgement without even seeing 2 of the 3 protagonists play.

    I'm not a Barrett hater like many on this site, but he has every reason to be red-faced over this one.

    I am not a Barrett hater either. I am fairly ambivalent about him. I do think he is a terrible waste of oxygen though. If I want to listen to the opinion of idiots I could go to a Collingwood Carlton match.

    I am far less forgiving than others on here, would personally rather [censored] in my hands and clap than listen to that parasite dribble his bias [censored]

    Barrett actually said that he "quieried" it - "the Tyson -Salem combination for the loss of the Kelly pick."

    He didn't say he had criticized it or make any apology. In fact in saying that it is a debate that will go on for 10 or even 15 years,

    he is saying he is not at this stage backing down.

    Actually, skill set aside, the way Dom Tyson moves and his authority around the ground reminds me of Luke Hodge.

    Damian Barrett is a pathetic loser

    Simply a statement of fact. We all know it to be true, and he reinforces it on a daily basis.

    Dom Tyson is Dom Tyson. He is not Pendlebury, or anyone else for that matter. And yes, he is very good.

    • 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.
