STMJ has it about right.  And you can add Tyson's resolutely left sidedness. He has no right side at AFL level.  

There are plenty of left footers like that, but they normally are elite on their preferred side.  And that aint Dom.

    STK and Carl may need him, pick 30 and use that elsewhere. Filled a hole and was loyal but unless he changes and adapts, may be goneski.

    Probably worth more to us than what we could get for him in a trade. That said he may want more opportunities. 

    Where though? He could maybe slot into Carlton's midfield.

    An in form Dom Tyson is absolutely in our best 22 and, like others have said, he's currently sitting at about 23rd-24th of our list.  One injury to a player under 192cm, and he's in.

    With that said, if he wanted to leave for more opportunities/security, I'd hope we could convince him to head to the Gold Coast.  They have early picks, need mature talent and are willing to pay 'overs' for players who are keen to commit.

    My preference though is for him to stay.

    His sloppiness with the footy is what hurts him. I will stand by the fact that he is bloody good player - you don't find it as easily as he does without a great deal of talent. What a great place to be that ANB, Harmes, Fritsch and co. are keeping him out.

    I trust him to come in and contribute and keep us going and that is great. You can't replace your best players of course, but Tyson could easily be in the 22 that runs out deep in September.

    What bothers me is he is a bit slow in mind when he has the ball and often gets caught holding the ball. People mentioning that he has no right foot I think are missing the point. Most left footers have no right to speak of. just look at buddy franklin.

    But what a left foot Buddy has.

    I think we can all get behind the Lachie Weller precedent for a potential Dom Tyson trade. :laugh: I just hope the club would pick the next Josh Kelly though this time ?

    Thought he was good Saturday night. Clean and effective. I think if you don't notice him too much (i.e the horror kicks or the holding the balls) and he still has 20 odd touches, he has done well.

    Watched the replay. He did well, fulfilled his role. And will get better with more games but may have to give way when Viney is ready.

    Dom was very good.  He usually struggles to impact with his disposals even when he has 25-30, but he had an impact with just 20 touches vs the Crows.

    His hands were very clean and creative.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
