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

I thought Carlos was just correcting an apparent misconception. "Silly" just seems insulting and (dare I say it?) silly.

    Quite frankly I'm sick of hearing that Tyson/ Kelly comparison and I'm also sick of hearing the skewed argument of the actual trade.

    As Carlos Danger said above with reference to the facts of the "actual trade", it was Tyson (2011 NAB pick 3), pick 9 (we selected Salem) and pick 57 (we selected Hunt) for pick 2 (GWS selected Kelly), pick 20 diluting* to 22 (GWS selected Gardiner) and pick 76 (GWS opted to pass).

    Diluting* was due to three FA compensation picks along with the loss of Essendon's first round pick.

    As for this endless comparison between Tyson and Kelly, Roos has stated (refer to his round 8 post-game press conference) that if the club held pick two they would not have selected Kelly with it but instead use it on someone else (presumably Billings, Aish, or even Scharenberg). As it was reported many times prior to the draft clubs were having trouble differentiating and ranking the players past pick one - many clubs would have had a different order.

    This idiotic comparison has been driven by moronic media jocks like DB and Sam Edmund who have probably never touched a footy in their lives. Unfortunately it's caught on to the point where Tyson's name can't be mentioned without reference to Kelly, for example it was very frustrating watching the Rich vs. Melb replay with Luke Darcy stating how good he thought Tyson was and naming him within a short list of future stars of the game (Tom Liberatore was another), then Matthew Richardson buts in including Kelly, Darcy's response was something along the lines "too early to call".

    Overall I'm over the moon with the trade, so far it's well and truly looking like we ended on top. As I stated above Tyson is showing all the signs of a future star, and Salem is showing all the signs he is no draft bust and may have a long career ahead. It certainly was a good year at the trade and draft table for us.

    Trades like this are always going to be debated - there is nothing wrong with comparing what we gave up for what we got.

    The problem that most of us has is with the finality of which Barrett and a couple others called it a failure.

    Don't know yet, but I am very comfortable with the decision.

    see mitch clark's tweet?

    compared him to luke hodge meets simon black.

    Yeah, I see a lot of Hodge in him, good call.

    Over the moon having Tyson in the red & blue.

    Eight goals in his last six games. I love goal kicking midfielders. I particularly love goal kicking midfielders who do more of their work on the inside but have the polish on the outside to finish. I love them even more when they're still young, inexperienced and have great hair.

    ...without ever having seen Tyson play!

    Glad I'm not the only one to appreciate Dom's great hair.

    He seems to kick one of those amazing 55 metre goals every week.

    He used to have better hair, disappointing really.

    I love goal kicking midfielders that contest the ball, lay a tackle 55 metres out, rip the ball from the victims hands, stand up and kick a 55 metre goal off a step and a half.

    Haven't seen too many of those midfielders who play for the Dees...

    His one step kicks are fine until he misses a target, and he missed a couple up in Alice...

    Haven't have seen many midfielders do that period.

    Jeez, I don't want to mozz the kid.

    He's going to be good. Hell, he is good, he could be as good as the unnamed few I have in my head.

    Id love Jones to win 3 Blueys in a row as I feel after the last few years carrying the Club he deserves to have his name in the timber 3 times in a row. Saying that, I reckon Tyson could pinch it

    Love to hear JayZ reveal his sources....

    Love the gems :

    "Oh, there’s no question they have made a mistake. Gee, it’s going to be nasty,” one recruiter told the Herald Sun this week.

    Another said: “The talent industry was quite gobsmacked at the decision, to be honest.”

    and the most laughable

    One talent spotter said overlooking Kelly, 19, could prove worse than the well-documented Watts-Naitanui decision.

    • 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.
