Best game in a while for Tyson last week. Expecting a big one on Sun he's gonna be important.

    Retuned in good form Tom Dyson

    Yes, he's been better, in the absence of Viney.

    Is Dom is good - best form I have seen from him.

    I like Dom. He is 25 and a very good inside player.  if oliver went down we would badly need him.  i hope he can get his confidence back and learn to play wing well

    I’ve seen him as expendable and having value at the trade table, however... I’m beginning to think we’re attempting to build more versatility into his game without depending on him to dominate in a foreign position.

    In the near future, I can imagine:

    Vince/ Lewis retires

    Jones to HBF

    Tyson into the midfield rotation

    Not all that far-fetched. I think as supporters we have the tendency to foresee young players maturing & developing, but ignore the decline of those in their prime. At least, I do sometimes.

    The issue remains, even though he's paying well, atmo.

    He has to be better with the ball use; handballs, and kicking.

     

    If he can better on the spread and run, he has a chance.  But right now with Viney and Stretch injured, he is in the best 22.  Just as JKH is as well atmo.

    A couple of his sweeping handballs to set up teammates for a shot at goal have been impressive the last two weeks

    Played well against one of the worst sides ever fielded. I’ve completely forgotten how poor he’s been the last 2 years...

    definitely don't want him going anywhere after this season

    Agree WWSY. Keep him in the middle, sure he's limited in other positions, but he's still a good centre-man. A more than handy replacement when Jones retires. Brayshaw, Petracca, ANB, Clarry can all play multiple positions, Viney is still a huge question mark (due to injury ?).

    Can never have enough midfield depth.

    I think his improvement has come from learning his limitations. 

    Seems to be making the first decision more often than not rather than just getting caught trying to do too much. 

    Love to see him back in super form coming into September

    Dom Tyson is exactly the type of player we need in our team to win a Premiership. He compliments Viney, Oliver, Jones and Brayshaw because he uses the ball well on the outside but can play hard footy on the inside. I think he is the most underrated player at Melbourne FC and I am sure that Goodwin will want to retain him.

    Some of his disposal last week (albeit against GC) was pick 3 in the draft quality.

    Not something we often associate with Tyson.

    He may be back after a patchy couple of years.

    No coincidence that Tyson’s improved form has coincided with Viney’s absence, affording him more time in familiar roles.

    We’ll need him for finals this year, but going forward I’m still see-sawing on what we do with him. One thing is for sure, we wouldn’t let him go cheaply.

    I think he is worth late first or early second as he is contracted after all. 

    If uncontacted probably a similar value to watts.

    Going forward we need him more.  He is 25(?) and Jones is 30+. He is the perfect replacement to that position and we're need to transition it rather than lose them both 12 months apart.

    I think he is worth more than Watts because he is a ball winner, not a up and down finisher. 

    For a lower ranked side with an average midfield, he would start in the centre. Early 20s at least.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
