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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
