    I'm loving Dom's last two weeks. Clean hands, tackling very well, spreading hard, taking marks and kicking goals.

    He's rotating with Ben Kennedy at half forward more and I think it's good for both of them. Ben Ken brings a bit more speed to the midfield. Tyson brings some smarts and spread as the high half forward.

    An in form Tyson is critical to our success

    Different type to Viney and Jones

    Very clever  and compliments them

    Great hands and kicks goals, will get better and better

    Dropped to elite in a few weeks?

     

    Not quite sure what you mean by this, but if he keeps up this form will certainly be in our elite for a number of years.

    You didn't say 'if he keeps up this form' you said 'will'.

    I agree, if he has 30 and 2 each week he'll be a star. If he plays like he did in the first two rounds he'll be a depth player. I think he'll be somewhere between the two and a consistent top 10 in the B+F type in a very good side.

    In 2014 he polled 11 Brownlow votes (9 of them coming from 3s). We won 4 games the entire season...

    Sunday night it all started coming back to me, just how much ability and potential this guy has.

    BUMP

    Quite rightly in our best 22 Dom Tyson.

    Gawn & Viney may have the spotlight at present, but this guys game was fantastic v Richmond Sunday night.

     

    Bump of the year.

    One of the more absurd threads in recent memory. And we do absurd as well as anyone. :)

    To be fair his disposal was atrocious in Round 1. If he starts consistently kicking lasers like he did on Sunday then he'll be one of the best midfielders in the game.

    there's a lot of Voss/Black about his and Viney's work at the moment, I can't wait to watch them for the next 10 years.

     

    Plus for all of those doubters out there - his first goal was with his right foot, clean hands, great hair and can kick off both feet, he's the perfect catch.

    I'm a big Dom fan but there's kicking both feet and then there's getting the ball onto your opposites foot when you have to.

    Dom is a pure lefty, good to see he could get it onto his right foot and through for the goal.

    haha i know it was the most unnatural thing i've seen but gee it was good to see him give it a crack. He's been pinged a few times trying to change direction to get onto his left, although it's not the most natural/effective mode of disposal if it gets him and the footy out of danger i'll take it

    Our handballing in tight as a midfield is as good as any side in the competition, we are able to flip it around so cleanly!

    Agree, though he did have another kick off his right that put it into the path of Kent that led to Harmes's goal.

    He almost had a strut going on Sunday night. He's definitely back. When he was struggling with injury last year you could read in his body language that he wasn't quite right. His return to form and McDonald's renewed confidence in the air are significant factors. The run of Lumumba and the return of Kent are also considerable. Gawn and Salem playing week in week out is super important. If only Brayshaw was hitting his straps. I guess we can't have everything.

    Most our current crop of young guns remind me of former gun Demons, in Dom Tysons case it is Stephen Powell (though with more upside and talent)

    They go back a long way.  Tyson, Viney and Toby Greene all played in the Oakleigh Chargers side that lost to the Sandringham Dragons in the 2011 TAC Cup Grand Final.

    Unfortunately, they gave up a 20 odd point 3/4 time lead.  

    Viney was named best afield.

    Fletch Roberts kicked a bag in the last quarter, another south eastern suburbs boy.

    Did he get pinned for holding the ball once on Sundsy night? I couldn't remember one. 

    Don't think so...

    The last couple of weeks I've watched with intent and really admired how we set up at stoppages both centre bounce and around the ground. 

    We all know Roosy is really big on 'know your role, play your role', and this is exemplified at these stoppages. With hit outs, blocking, and quick hands coming off as well has they have in years and Tyson is integral here

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
