Dom Tyson


Demonland

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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.

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
