He must be glad now he turned down Richmonds offer..

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

4 coaches votes. Well-earned.

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.

A goal kicking inside mid is rare - and valuable.

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.

Good to see Tyson play up to his capabilities.

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.

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

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

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  

 

Whats with the face expressions he pulled when he kicked his 2nd goal.. haha
