    A bit harsh on Tyson perhaps, but otherwise I agree.

    Wagner- 2016's surprise packet

    Amother good analysis. Matt Jones a few clangers though but its tough for selectors now to make changes.

    nathan jones has more clangers than matt

    You may as write Tyson's now for every game:

    Tyson - Holding the ball

    Without wanting to hijack Joeboy's thread, you seemingly have a vendetta against the GWS boys in our team Clint.

    Yes, they have their moments and yes, there is plenty for them to work on.  But outside of that they bring all of the traits we want in footballers who pull on our jumper and you need to get behind them.  Tyson, Bugg and Frost were all positive contributors to our win today and I think it's disappointing that you're in every thread taking shots at them.  Poor form mate, and as I've said earlier, you're better than that.

    There were a few horible and hospital handballs but great intensity from the captain and incredible number of touches. I did think Matt Jones was good today and last week.

    Tyson - What coach's want...

    Seriously 'Clint', the times he gets caught with the ball is when there are no options. He could let it spill but they have been instructed to hold the ball in rather than blindly dish it off.

    Better to give away a free and stop play than let the oppo run on with it.

    Tyson's work inside was really good today.

    He made a few blues but his positives way outweighed his negatives. I do like that he is not starting to mark well overhead as well.

    I do find it interesting that his detractors for today's game, but our captain , who also played a good game today, handballed to opposition more than any of other mids and that has not rated a mention.

    How often he's at the bottom of a pack stoppage!? As long as he's not getting pinged I don't see a problem, for the time being. 

    How that will work under Goodwin, and what his vision is for Tyson, who knows...but it doesn't look like he's going anywhere whilst Roosy's in the box. 

    His blocking and tagging work on Pendlebury around the stoppages was brilliant IMO

    Joeboy, I'm not quite sure what you mean by "Kennedy - Tough little bigger"

    Typo? Or is it some clever wordplay which is too clever for me, either because it's the entry after Kent's "Tough little bugger", an ironic reference to his size or something to do with his playing against his old side? 

    Joeboy - got me stumped.

    It's the Kiwi pronunciation, no might be the South African version now I think about it.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
