Watching Corey Maynard dominate the VFL final on Channel 7, and underlines how much depth we have in the big bodied ball winning midfielder department.  He didnt look out of place at AFL level either.

Dom Tyson is expendable for a player we need, i.e an outside mid..

The worst type of player in today's footy, is the player who gives it to the other side. On saturday for example, the Pies kicked all of their 6 first quarter goals from turnovers. Digest that for a s

Giants won that trade big time. Give me Kelly over Tyson and Salem any day.

Already said earlier but why anyone would want to trade a player who is 24 and solidly in out best 22 is beyond me, not every player can be a star some are just a work horse. What do people think

Wouldn't get a game at any of the top 6 clubs. Can't run, can't kick. He's just a taller version of Miles from Richmond - the major difference being Richmond got him for free and we gave up the oppportunity to bring in Kelly or Bontempelli, the two best young players in the competition, for Tyson. 

The Tyson trade and the Vince trade (the pick that got Matt Crouch) look just terrible now.

 

Agree on the first if we took Kelly but word was it would have been Billings (not as clear whether that is a loss at all). The Vince trade is one where it is clearly a win for both parties and as you would expect this season it has moved into the Crows favour. We needed to the short term benefit of quality and experience and Vince as a B&F winner has held up his end. This also assumes we would have taken Crouch with that choice.

A big fat NO to a trade. This guy is a prime mover. OK he creates turnovers but so do Patrick Dangerfield and Dusty Martin. If you get the ball often as he does there will be forced turnovers. Dont know why the hate for Dom.

5 points to you for a silly post.

Okay he's not Dusty or Dangerfield, but who is?

Tyson's an ideal candidate to trade; he's a very decent afl standard player who usually gets the ball, something some teams would really value. 

 

We slightly over recruited inside mids so to trade for a current need would be a win win.

Shudder to think how he'd go in a final.

Hes not a bad player at all, but hes expendable and we need midfield balance.

Coll kicked 6 goals from turnovers in the 1st so they are costly

26.35  So a ball up is a turnover? Interesting observation.

When the Pies win the ball up that's how its counted. We were the last in control. 

In any case it was poor kick by Tyson. Are you trying to defend it?

Great guy,  gets the ball , gets to space BUT delivery is non AFL.  DUSTY and Danger have turnovers but they can stand up and win games 

Tyson is a liability when kicking from 30 meters out.

But we haven't necessarily turned it over. Why couldn't we win the clearance and regain possession? 50 50 chance of regaining the ball. You are virtually saying that a contested possession is a turnover if we kicked it last? Come off it mate.

Do they have an outside mid we can do a straight swap for with Dom?

I confess my ignorance on Connor McKenna but apparently he's irish, super fast and unsigned. A HB but could moulded into wing?

I don't define the stats.

If we have the ball and it ends up in the other teams hands its a TO. Its not rocket science

Trade.

Rubbish! We saw in the last match how poor we looked when he started in a wing instead of in the middle. For some reason I will never understand, Hannan and Salem were in the middle, while Tyson was on the wing. When eventually he was put into the middle, the game started to turn our way. Without Viney he was critical. Watch carefully how much grunt work he does. Didn't he miss pre season? This may explain how frequently he had amazing possessions in the first half, less so in the second. After his first season we weren't complaining about the deal which brought him to Melbourne--I still rate him highly. And if his fitness lifts so will his kicking. It was excellent in his first year with us

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
