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

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.

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

They will always justify their original stance.

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.

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. ;)

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol
