Thread needs more Dom Tyson love!

Go and re-watch our 2 Port Adel games last year.

4 of the classiest goals you'll see from a midfielder, and I'm pretty sure he snagged 6 Brownlow votes from the 2 games.

I'm going to make a bold prediction that he'll be the best out of his former GWS midfield vintage of Treloar, Shiel, Coniglio and Greene.

    IMO this second goal should've gone close to winning GOTY

    unbelievable goal - tackles, dispossesses, stands up with ball, 180 turn, completely surrounded, standing start kick, 55 out - hard to find a greater degree of difficulty to pull that off

    Agree.

    In the goals of the year segment on Brownlow night, neither Tyson or Kent's amazing goal vs Essendon didn't feature.

    There certainly hasn't been a hangover from the last No. 12

    Playing an outside running role, Matt Jones also looked ok in this footage, but you have to agree with BBP: How lucky are we to have Dom Tyson?

    Polled well for an unknown 'eyes'. He's a vote getter and potential medalist...

    I believe so! 2015 or 2016? Get your money on people!

    I think using pick 2 and 20 to get Tyson (who went pick 3 when gws had 1,2 and 3) and the best rated kick in that draft in Salem is a great pick up. A potential number 1 and a player in the top 10 for 2 and 20 sounds great on paper.

    Even if Kelly is a bit better then Dom, getting Salem just tops it off the trade really was a win win.
    I am looking forward to seeing Dom after his first full preseason in the afl as he was 2nd in our BnF after his first full year of footy.

    Brilliant prospect and happy we had the guts to get aggressive with trading instead of holding on to pick 2.

    But, at the same time, extremely happy that we retained both picks one and two last year! Hopefully another two superstars added to our improving midfield!

    At the start of the season, I just assumed Kelly would end up the better player than Tyson, simply due to MFC's trading and drafting mistakes and/or bad luck.

    But from what I saw of Tyson in 2014, I think there's every chance Tyson could be the equal of Kelly - maybe even better.

    That being said, Kelly is an amazing user of the footy and looks like he's going to be an elite A grader over the next decade.

    In my opinion Dom hasn't got the attention and accolades he deserves for his season in 2014.

    I spoke to a bloke that had some contact with him in earlier yeaes and he couldn't rate him highly enough.

    we got a steal no doubt.

    Compare his stats to just about any champion of the game at this amount of games and there is no doubt that he is on his way to elite status.

    its very exciting times!

    In my opinion we need to focus less on zero-game pkayers and get around players like Dom.

    Pick 20 for pick 9 plus pick 2 for Tyson. It was a lot to give up. I've always thought it was a reasonable deal but we needed Tyson to be a very very good player. Turns out so far he is.

    IMHO you're looking at the swap of pick 20 for pick 9 the wrong way. You seem to be suggesting we gave up pick 20 as well as 2 for Tyson. I think it's fair to say now with hindsight that pick 2 for Tyson would have been a worthwhile deal on its own. Upgrading pick 20 to 9 as well was an added bonus not a sacrifice.

    Let's move on.

    I think Dom will be our most important player in 2015. Other than hopefully taking his game to another level in 2015, it'll show that our development program is getting it's shite together.

    Spoke to Dom at great length while they were up here at Maroochydore. He is an outstanding young man. Standing next to him I realised he is also just a kid, a very mature, well spoken, polite, respectful kid, but a kid none the same. I look forward to season 2015, but I'm salivating at what his 2017 will look like (hopefully!).

    I saw replay of our Round 4 win against Carlton on Foxfooty on the weekend and he was well of the form he showed as the year stretched on. This year he will be good to go right from Round 1 with the way his preseason is tracking. Will be a good year for him.

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
