4. Melbourne got it right on Dom Tyson

The Demons' decision to trade their No.2 draft pick to acquire Tyson from the Giants represented a calculated risk, but it was clearly the right call. The 21-year-old midfield gun has taken his game to new heights this season, and against Port Adelaide on Sunday produced the best game of his 29-match career. Collecting an equal career-high 32 possessions and booting two goals, he was clearly best on ground, adding seven tackles to his stats tally. – Harry Thring

How long do you think Tyson will need to wait before the idiots acknowledge they were WRONG!!!!!

Barret I am looking at you

 

It would be nice but it won't happens, such the arrogance of such "journalists" as Barrett.

They will always justify their original stance.

Amazing the amount of Journo's that say " wait and see what Kelly does"

I would say Salem alone has been as impressive as Kelly, and Tyson looks a legitimate star in the making

even if Kelly does indeed win a brownlow medal I think we will still win this deal

 

It's just not practical.

If Damian Barrett started apologising each time he was shown up as a clueless self-important git, he wouldn't have any time left to write his steady stream of new, completely off-the-mark, articles. His career would be over!

Ahhhhh, yes please.

Where our list was, even if Kelly becomes a star (A+), then getting 2 elites (A minutes) is probably a win everywhere.

We didn't have depth, we didn't have decent players across the park. A good win.

Roos is yet to stuff up at the trade table? At the very least, his decision making with trading is 2nd to none.

After he retires from coaching; you'd pay him a couple of hundred grand as a recycled player consultant and doing a few other little gigs around the club I reckon.

I wonder if Barrett has seen him play yet?? :-))

The classic line from the journos is "at the time I was justified......." at the end of the day we know we've got a win here. Salem's got a huge upside and Tyson could be anything.

So if im getting this right,they are apologising because of the form so far of Tyson?

And next year if Tyson is struggling for a kick and Kelly is brownlow favourite?

Its BS,dont worry about it.

 

I thought reading the title that Wayne Campbell must've made a public apology for the [censored] the umps dished up to us yesterday.

Oh FCS. Footy is an opinion business.

Get over it.


Amazing the amount of Journo's that say " wait and see what Kelly does"

I would say Salem alone has been as impressive as Kelly, and Tyson looks a legitimate star in the making

even if Kelly does indeed win a brownlow medal I think we will still win this deal

What they're obviously failing to account for, is the idea that trading can be a win-win for both clubs involved. Narrow-sighted journalists? Never. ;)

Two is always more than one. If I were in charge of list management, I'd pick up two uproven players for 1 unproven player 99 times out of a hundred. It's just good odds.

Hahaha who was it that tweeted him when Roosy said the mystery recruiter should be sacked?

Serious? Sure Salem has shown little glimpse but hasn't exactly put on a performance like Kelly has.

Kelly will be a star.

Tyson will be a legend.

Pick 20 can hardly be considered a speculative pick.

Tyson will be a very good player, hopefully a star, but people seem to think it was pick 2 for Tyson and pick 9. We gave pick 20 as well so it was Kelly and any of the blokes drafted in the 20s for Tyson and Salem.

Crouch, Zach Merrett, Hartung, Lewis Taylor - all will be 150+ gamers and could have been ours with that pick 20.

It was a good trade for Melbourne but I'm sure after a few pre-seasons under Kelly's belt it won't prove to be the highway robbery that some people seem to think we've pulled off.

If kelly doesn't play 200-250 games and win a brownlow then we win the trade.

This puts more pressure on kelly along with the likes of GWS underperformers like $cully to perform up to expectations, not the other way round

Serious? Sure Salem has shown little glimpse but hasn't exactly put on a performance like Kelly has.

Kelly will be a star.

Tyson will be a legend.

they have both shown glimpses of class, i felt Salems game against Port was as good as anything Kelly has produced, Salem has also spent a lot of time up forward so he hasn't been able to rack up the numbers Kelly has at times

who is this $cully dude you referred to ??????

Tyson will play 250 games and is every chance to win a Brownlow

We will win this trade without question, and win it easily

I saw Josh Kelly play against the crows and he had 21 disposals 2 goals and 5 tackles.

Im sure Salem will be a quality player.

Kelly is impressive there is no doubt, certainly a 200 gamer

I have heard a lot of people who rated Salem as the second best midfield prospect behind Kelly so I reckon we could win this deal in a big way

 

As great as I think Kelly will be.
Tyson has the runs on the board, so it's hard to say Kelly will ever pass him.

Results matter and Dom is probably close to leading our B&F.

We are miles ahead in this trade.

Serious? Sure Salem has shown little glimpse but hasn't exactly put on a performance like Kelly has.

Kelly will be a star.

Tyson will be a legend.

He has shown moments of pure class - two I recall at Alice Springs especially. They were things that no ordinary player could possibly do.

Give him another preseason and some good players around....then watch out.

Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • 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.
