Dom Tyson re-signs

[Mickey 4,684]

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

[Hellaintabadplacetobe 4,294]

Great to hear, had a terrific year I thought!

[DDEE 25]

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.

[davo 209]

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

[DemonWA 3,934]

lock 'em in for the long haul Dees!

[Lord Travis 10,729]

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.

[poita 3,902]

Excellent news - happy for our better players to be on longer deals.

[Wiseblood 24,637]

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.

[chook fowler 19,458]

Good news. Very underrated 

[Ted Lasso 19,513]

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

[DistrACTION Jackson 8,734]

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 

[Dante 2,739]

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

[sydneydee 687]

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 

[Little Richard 6,262]

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

[Adam The God 30,239]

Well done, Dees and well done Dom.

[Je Roos Salem 661]

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

[PaulRB 6,362]

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!!!

[Cards13 9,117]

Really good news, signed up for the best years of his career. Go Dee's!

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. 

[DeeZone 9,828]

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.
