Considering Lewy's 300th game is likely to be a substantial talking point ahead of this weekend, I thought It'd be only right to acknowledge that his milestone will be shared by Dom Tyson, who'll notch up a century of AFL games (13 with GWS, 87 with Melbourne.)

Although it hasn't been an ideal season from Dom's perspective, I'd like to take the opportunity, regardless of what happens at seasons end, to say thanks to our number 12 for his contribution so far to the red and blue!

Here here. Hoping he stays on in 2019 as well. At his best he was one of the premier clearance players in the league and he is still very young (25) so should be entering his prime soon.

Is Dom is good.

 

Hopefully both Lewis and Tyson have huge milestone games and will us across the line for the win. 

 

Best of luck to him this weekend in his 100th. It's a shame his form has been down this year and he's become the resident whipping boy. He's taken a while to get to 100 games due to ongoing knee issues, but he's played some brilliant footy for us. His 2014 was superb, and he was one vote of winning the BnF from Jones (who was at his peak). He's definitely got the potential to play a key role for us in the future. Hopefully he has a good game this weekend and contributes to an important win!


I really hope we're retain him next year.  He plays his best footy in the guts and has been squeezed out this year due to numbers.  Jones won't be here forever and Viney's foot may need insurance so the is a definite need for someone of his ilk.  It is a shame the majority of the players competing for that spot are unable to play other positions.

 

Congrats Dom.

It hasn't been Dom's best season however l believe he has plenty to offer and no doubt he will  be revved up for his 100th afl game. He is a damaging player with hands and foot when on top of his game and l hope things turn good for him. He deserves it.

Good Luck  on your 100th and give them Hell . 

Ready to see him get a BOG in a big Melbourne win this Saturday..  all the best Dom.

Hear hear.  Hope Dom has a trong finish to the season and gets the opportunty to play finals.

Was very, very good for us when Roosy was head coach.

I feel sorry for Dom. He looks like he’s carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders. I hope he finds his mojo and plays many more games for us. 


Congrats Dom. 100 games is an achievement in anyone's book. Hasn't been his best season but we're right behind him and hope he can hit his straps in this run home!

Congrats and well done Dom on 100 AFL games. It is an achievement you can be proud of  

Even though I have referred to him as Turnover Tyson, he can find the ball and if he can improve on his disposal and decision making, he still could be handy for us, especially with so many injuries these days. 

Modern footy requires a large number of mids and he adds to our depth there. With Viney down he is virtually the next bloke in.

Congrats Dom, you are by far my favourite player and I hope to see you continue in the red and blue in 2019.

while you have not had the best year, i still think you are a great inside mid and it is says a lot about the depth of our list if you have not been able to get a game consistently. 

I hope you get three Brownlow votes this week after a massive performance. Go Dees!  

Congrats, Dom.  There are plenty of players who don't make the 100 game milestone, so he's done super well to get there and deserves the recognition.

He has a big chance in the coming weeks to help shape our destiny in terms of making the finals.  When in form, he can be terrific around the stoppages and it's something we will miss with Viney gone.  He can support Gus and Clarrie in there and allow us to keep up our good numbers in clearances and contested possessions.  I'm backing him to really give us something over the next month or so.

While all the talk has been Lewis 300th, I've been very disappointed that the MFC website has barely made any mention of Dom 100th. I don't care how this comes across, but i couldn't give two [censored] about Lewis 300th.. 

Been with us for 5 years and has been an important player for us over that development period. I truly still believe he can play an important role for us coming towards the back end of the year.

Congratulations Dom..

 


Dom is one of those players that have helped lift the club to where it is from our dark days and deserves to be part of having a crack at some success.  Congadulations on 100 AFL games Dom and would be good to get that to 100 MFC games next year as well.

Helped make 2014 that little bit less horrid. Had some real blinders and probably won us the game vs Adelaide.

Agreed, his 2014 season was outstanding. Off memory he jagged 12 brownlow votes including 2 BOG's in losses to Port and North.

Fair to say that the 21 year old Tyson was a far better player than the current 25 year old Tyson.

might be just me but im starting to see him a bit more cleaner and accelerating out of packs better to dish off the ball. if he could find that form of 21014 geez we would have a great midfield.


I reckon he's a good player once he gets his confidence up and going, you can't have too many midfielders especially when injuries hit. The question is whether he wants to move on to be guaranteed more game time at a club without our huge depth of inside mids.

Not just you BR

Is a good user of the ball when he's on

Congrats Dom Tyson for your hard earned 100 AFL games milestone.

I wish you well an have a good one.

 

Go Dom, Go Dees.

 

It is a long time ago now, but I still recall his surge of form in the final half-dozen rounds of 2014.

I've always had more patience with him than most, for no really good reason. But here's hoping his 100th game is the marker where he rediscovers that form, because half a dozen or so really good games would be much appreciated right now!

Agree with everything said here already. Great to see DL get around Dom for probably the first time this year, in year where he's struggled a bit with his match fitness/injuries as well as knowing his role in a changing midfield setup.

Proving to be very valuable for depth, especially so far tonight, and we can't have a enough inside midfielders I guess.

Hoping he can get as much out of the rest of this year as possible, and put in an uninterrupted preseason to build his fitness and hopefully modify his game. We'd be crazy to let him go while still contracted at this point for mine!

  • 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?
