Tyson's best has been better but Vince has been more consistent. Eh, who cares, we have both of em, enjoy! :)

I reckon this hits the nail on the head. Vince has had a very good season for us and I see him as top 3 in our B&F, and I feel Tyson had a slow start to the year and mid year went quiet. But as Pipefitter said Tyson's best has been A+ grade bordering on star, and every time he produces a performance like the one vs Port I pinch myself that we managed to nab him AND Salem.

Tyson is so young in terms of games actually played.

Really, Bernie Vince with his experience and age (peak) should be "the man", and he aint. Gerard Healy was spot on about Vince, where he said Vince was happy just to be a B grader. Healy said Vince should have dominated the endurance stuff over pre-season, and didn't.

Vince's stats are better than his actual output IMO. He also does the inevitable Brock McLean "smart ass" kick across his body to split a needle short pass that turns the ball over in dangerous positions.

Both Tyson and Vince have missed some easy kicking targets this year; so maybe I'm a tad unfair to Bernie. Cross has never been a great kick either.

I'd rate Cross; then Tyson; then Vince. But Tyson is playing brilliant footy beyond his experience.

If you were going on B+F votes or overall consistency of the year you'd go Vince.

He's been tagged or done the tagging/defensive job more whilst Tyson has mainly floated around doing his own thing. At times he's drawn the heavy tag away from Jones and Tyson, he's also done the job on Dangerfield and others.

That said Tyson has been our best in both narrow losses to Port and was great in the second half v Essendon.

The main thing is we have 3 class midfielders in Tyson, Vince and Jones who complement each other. 2 more above average in Cross and Viney. If we keep getting that number going up especially with some outside mids then we will have a fair team.

Doms probably has had more stand out games but Vince has been more consistent. They both have been fantastic additions to the side. Dom would be ahead in B & F voting i think just on the fact his had more higher voting games

Yeah I think during rounds 4,5 and 6 Tyson started getting tagged. By round 6 (Sydney game) he was that out of form he was subbed out of the game.

Then he turned his form around in the Adelaide win, kicked a great last qtr goal, and then was steller against Dogs, Richmond and Port.

Nah fair comment, I remembered it incorrectly as him starting a bit slow but you're right he was at the very least in our best to start the year.

    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

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
