To be honest, if Tyler was keen to play footy, it wouldn't feel right having him as a Demon.
I would have thought the Swans should pick him up.
However, if they aren't interested (nor the Lions though they aren't really Fitzroy, Roosy's old team) then it's open slather.

    Pick 50/PSD/Rookie pick I'd say but I wouldn't at all be unhappy if we did pick him up. He's got the bloodlines. If he wants it bad enough he'll be a player and Roos will have pretty little to do with actually coaching him.

    The swans had plenty of academy picks to take care of, the lions had 2 plus Scott Clayton's son as a father son and needed the picks for trades. So either side might still be very keen on him for the rookie draft. But they weren't keen enough to put him ahead of the guys they took.

    If he's a raw prospect then our new beefed up development team plus Goodwin will be the ones training him up.

    Was reading this article and found this bit very interesting...

    Jack Trengove can make a full recovery from more surgery on his troublesome foot injury

    Brayshaw plays in the same TAC Cup side as Paul Roos son Tyler, who is eligible for the draft this year.

    The Sandringham Dragons flanker is an elite runner and seems unlikely to get to the Demons given they may have only three or four national draft picks.

    But Mahoney said the club was well equipped to deal with the conflict should Tyler become available at a pick that appealed.

    We have been through it before with (recruiting boss) Todd Viney and Jack Viney and it is also the same way we go about picking father-son selections, he said.

    We treat them like any other player in the draft pool. If they are highly rated and the player is available at a certain pick, they are the decision you make.

    Most likely a direct question from a reporter as he put 2 and 2 together and thought he had an angle to write an article.

    I'd do it just to ensure Roos hung around for the next 5 years.

    Not only that, but we have Viney, Stretch, Lovett on the way.

    Would be good to have a band of these kids.G

    Roos was arguably a better player than those guys, so for those big on bloodlines - it is appealing.

    On what little I saw of him he looks lightly built and not ready for AFL. The TAC Cup clubs take a few overage age players every year and, if he qualifies, then perhaps another year at this level might hold him in good stead.

    Collingwood's Tom Langdon did exactly that at the Sandy Dragons in 2013 before getting drafted at 65 as a 19 year old and then had a very successful debut season with the Pies.

    And of course, Tyler could keep an eye on the young potential recruits coming up in the competition for us - the perfect recruiting scout.

    Don't pay national draft prices next year for a guy you could rookie this year! We've got the former Sandy Coach! Plus several others. The VFL (especially if Casey is half decent this year) isn't too onerus for most 18 year olds. And there's always the VFL reserves (shudder). If he's borderline I think someone takes a chance on him just like Adelaide did with Craig Kelly's son last year.

    At this point he'd be a rookie pick. With Harmes so far the only confirmed keeper right now we have minimum two free slots. Wouldn't be opposed in the RD.

    Not arguably, he was a great player.

    Max King has been retained as well. See the bottom of the Georgiou delisting article on the club website

    I think we must be considering Tyler as a Rookie - keep hearing him being dubbed a late developer - heard Roosy pump him up - saying what a great championship he had - seen a couple of times that he's Brayshaw's great mate....... where there's smoke.....

    We should only consider Tyler Roos on his merit as a future AFL player based on whether he can play or not..

    I am not sure why its any imperative to get him though.

    If he has any ability why isnt the Lions or the Swans falling over each other to get him under Father Son?

    This. Brisbane could have nominated him for father son, if he was nominated and no one bid on him he would have been taken with their last pick. He either told Brisbane that he doesn't want to play for them or he was judged not up to the required level. If he had told them he didn't want to play for them it would have been in the news. That would indicate that he's a rookie pick at best.

    Nothing against Tyler Roos, but I would have real issues with the club taking the coach's son as a speculative draft selection. Sure thing if he's a genuine top 20-30 pick, but anything outside that is asking for trouble. Particularly given our recent draft history.

    Is he better than every other rookie prospect out there? If he is, take him.

    Am I missing something here?

    We are thinking of recruiting Paul Roos' son? Haven't seen anything written about him before this thread. Why are we considering him? Because he is the son of Paul Roos? Or can he play footy?

    I am quite disturbed by this. We need the best available footballer. If that's him great. But he is not a Jack Viney that has been in people's calculations for a number of years. (And yes I know TR is not a father/son pick).

    I don't think it hurts to have family connections at a footy club, as long as decisions are made wisely and nepotism isn't in play.

    If Tyler Roos is believed to have a lot of upside and is worth a rookie spot, then I hope we get him.

    I have coached my sons and while sometimes it has it challenges I can impart information to them with intimate knowledge of all of their strengths and weaknesses. I am sure this has made them much better footballers and has ultimately helped the teams.

    Roos is a shrewd character when it comes to this sort of stuff, if he is selected as a rookie there will be no nepotism. If he gets a game it will be because he has earnt it.

    That was a very impressive leap of logic by Dazzle to draw the conclusion we might be taking Tyler Roos based on some generic run of the mill comments made by Josh Mahoney

    Most late picks in draft/rookie draft never play anyway. Pick him up with one of the late picks we got in the jeffy garlett deal and give a kid a go who wants to be at the club.

    No great loss if he doesn't come on and bonus if he does.

    We can't afford to throw away picks on players on a whim. Every year these threads are loaded with 'Why didn't we take xyz, he would walk into our best 22' ....

    'Doesn't matter cos they wont play anyway' is a flippant thing to say in our position. I want 38 guys that are going to bleed for us, push like hell to get selected, keep pressure on everyone above them and train like their life depended on it.

    I am wondering if Roos has been hiding him in the hope of us getting him.

    • CASEY: Sydney

      The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
