Not to sure what to make of Dom's year, and he kind of disappeared with a ??? injury...

Thoughts?

    Had a tough year with injuries and form but a promising long term midfielder.

    He is still only 22 and even playing injured the majority of the year he averaged 21.7 disposals and 4.3 tackles per game.

    I expect him to have a big year next season and push up to average 25 touches per game.

    His numbers were still good and finished high in a lot of categries, just lacked impact and didnt kick many goals and I think that was his due to his knee

    Didn't like his year. Not sure what injuries he had, but looked slow by hand and foot.

    Yeah did seem like he got that knee very early and had to push through for most of the year, tough ask for the young fella and I reckon he acquitted himself well!

    He was okay. Good in patches, never terrible. Obviously seemed dogged by injury. I actually forgot about him for a bit there.

    Gee whiz. Tyson, Petracca, Brayshaw, Viney. If that isn't one of if not the best young midfield core in the league, I don't know what is.

    If we can't make the finals in one of the next two years with this crop, this club is unfixable.

    Injury affected, he had such a great 2014 I think everyone expected him to go onwards and upwards with it but clearly he didn't get a clean run at it this year.

    I think he needs to have a clean pre-season and hopefully we'll be able to chalk this year up to bad luck.

    + vandenBerg, Trengove, Salem, Kent, ANB, Stretch and Hunt.

    Yes. Please.

    Hugely disappointing year from Tyson, considering how good he looked last year, many of us thought he might step up to an elite level this year

    Getting very very sick of seeing our players fail to take the next step

    Was definitely injured. Many, many times he'd pull up from a mark, tackle or turn grimacing in pain.

    Played through for the most part, but was clearly hampered.

    Probably on a plane headed overseas somewhere for end of season trip ?

    He was injured all year with a knee injury mate settle down.. jeez..

    He has just hit the 50 game mark. He will bounce back strongly next year.

    He tried to do too much at times and got caught often.

    Once he got back to using the ball quickly he looked good again even tho he looked well underdone. Hope he gets a injury free year this coming season.

    Can we just let him develop for a bit? He's only played 50 games. Do you seriously expect him to be elite already? He will get there in time.

    Was just starting to regather his form I thought before the hammy issues.

    Needs a big preseason to get his running up to the elite level. If he does that then his form will go with it. We know he can find the ball. He's not great short kick but has penetration in his kicking and can kick a goal.

    Jack Viney had a bit of a meh year last year before rebounding strongly. That's why you have a deep core of young players coming through together.

    someone should tell him he's not Scott Pendlebury's seperated at birth twin and therefor does not possess "silky" skills or have an eternity to pass the ball on.

    Yeah....someone should tell him that....

    Go up to him and tell him yourself. I am sure he will take it all on board..

    Tyson is another one they put in the rack to get fit for next year. Nothing to see here. He'll be back and firing in round 1.

    In a nutshell.

    That pass to Billy Stretch in the final term at Geelong to set up a goal I could have sworn was delivered by Pendles....

    I think blaming injury alone is a bit naive. Clubs also figured Tyson out and have put more time into him after a great 2014. He is so one-sided. Has no right side at all. Clubs played on his left side and took that away and he was caught so many times trying to get back onto it.

    It was interesting talking to a player that left the club last year. Said Tyson played well beyond himself in 2014. "He's just not that good" were his words.

    I hope Tyson proves him wrong. I'd love a big pre-season focused on Tyson's running and becoming more comfortable with his right side.

    Cool story bra, who was the player?

    It hasn't hurt a lot of the Hawks players...

    ...as for him not being that good, his junior form says he is.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
