Dom has re-signed, thru til the end of 2019

 

This is great news. Dom had a good year and I reckon the next three will be better. It would be nice if Jesse did the right thing and followed suit.

 

Great news, Tyson was really good this year, especially second half and will only get better

lock 'em in for the long haul Dees!


Good to sign another talented young midfielder up. He was really good in the s come hakf of this year, back to his 2014 form. He's a valuable player for us going forward.

Super, super news.  Signed up a year before he needs to, another player who sees a bright future for the club and wants to be a part of it.  Love it.

 

Onya Dom! i reckon when he comes OOC next he'll be seen as one of the very best players in the comp


I did my membership renewal this morning and requested Dom on my card (obviously). Must be a good omen.

Probably should've put Jesse on instead :cool:

Great news, we need to get all the key players signed up.

Love the line in the release 'that he wants to play the rest of his career with Melbourne'

Just need Hogan to follow and it will be an amazing start to the off-season 

Awesome signing, he's so important to our midfield. So much of his best work goes unnoticed.

Well done, Dees and well done Dom.


Fully warmed up to him as a Dee now. Probably won't go down as one of the best GWS-groomed midfielders, but he's a solid B+ grade player

23 years old, and I reckon he's yet to hit his best footy, in a good midfield he will be a reliable A grade player.

Great work on resigning Dom! 

Bring it on!!!

Don't understand why he's not more highly rated.

 

Treloar and Tyson are an interesting comparison - former rated as one of the best young mids in the competition, the latter a solid journeyman...underservedly so in my book.

Treloar is ahead in terms of possession gathering and is flashier. I think that's why he gets the accolades in comparison to the slower Tyson. Treloar moves a lot like Judd, but I'd back Tyson to win a contested clearance before Treloar. Tyson's ceiling is higher IMO, but both are very good players.

Tyson has a lot of Joey Kennedy about him 'A F'...

I would agree with that. I wouldn't be at all surprised if Roos had modelled our midfield on Sydney's. Tyson (Kennedy), Viney (K Jack), Jones (Hannebery) and sounds like we were/are into Mitchell as well. Petracca gives us something a little different from the Sydney midfield. That bit of x-factor. And then obviously there's Brayshaw, Salem and possibly the best of them all, Oliver. That's an exciting midfield.

I think we should be going after top mids in that 23-27 age bracket for the next 5-6 years, but we should also continue to build through the draft. If we can nail picks in the second and third rounds of the draft like Sydney have (Hannebery pick 30, Kennedy traded for late picks and Jack taken in the Rookie Draft), that's how we'll have sustained success.

But the most important thing for us to do is to continue to re-sign all our young talent. And this signature from Dom is another show of faith in the direction of the club. Such signatures in the coming few years will eventually snowball into the MFC becoming a desirable destination for prospective players. 

Some good comparisons there AF, we just need to keep identifying the talent that is out there and keep improving our list year in and year out. We have the coaching fire power now to actually mould the talent that comes in through the door. There have been a lot of long shots over the years. GO Dee's!!!

He already is, he is criminally underrated.

Opposition supporters know how awesome he is, a lot of Demon fans under appreciate him.

Definitely yet to hit his best footy. Can you imagine when Tyson, Viney, Brayshaw, Stretch, Petracca etc are around the 25-27 mark?

Now that gets me extremely excited.

  • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
