would be interested to know his contract size, and whether the likes of treloar and prestia (post 2017) dwarf it - i expect theirs would.

 

he's better than both, for mine.

There are some great footy pundits on here whose analysis and commentary I love to read, but I really don't understand the obsession some have with being - or seeming to be - dispassionate, calm and analytical in their comments, especially in the heat of a game.

I find some of the posts in the game day thread hilarious for their levels of hysteria, but I understand it. As you are fond of reminding us, it's just footy; what's the big deal if you want a player banished to the moon for making a mistake one minute, and then all's forgiven next minute when they do something good. 

We're passionate supporters on a footy forum discussing sport, not writing about brain surgery in a peer-reviewed medical journal. 

Nice thoughts. Guilty as charged but proud of my passion.

Harden the eff up.

Silly comment. 

You can waste your time reading banal rubbish if you like.  We all have choices.

Either way, reading Demonland is wasting time. All good banter....avatar suits you, Benny!

Demonland is like a car crash - it's horrifying yet I cannot look away...

Where's Dees2014?

has knocked that one brain fade per game out and is finding the goals with more regularity. Probably our best wet-weather midfielder also, absolute gun.

I saw Dom in his draft year with some minor injury (don't remember what) and knowing only that he was playing for the Oakleigh Chargers and a Trinity boy, asked him how his draft prospects were looking. With all humility he told me he was likely to go top 10 (he went at 3 I think). That being the GWS draft year, I asked how he felt about the 50% likelihood of being a Giant. He said he was happy to get a gig anywhere. I then suggested in half jest that as a Melbourne supporter I was sure we'd be thrilled to have him at the Dees, or that if he got picked up by GWS and felt homesick later on, we could probably fit him in. Funny how things transpire!

I thought he signed a 3 year deal from GWS but there hasn't been any speculation about his contract status so maybe he signed a 4 year deal or maybe they are just working quietly behind the scenes.

The good thing about Tyson is we've been able to develop him without all the fuss of being the big name/big money recruit.

Hogan draws a lot of attention but with our young midfielders they all share the load on field and off which is really beneficial.
