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!

  • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
