how many goals will Tyson Turnovers Total?

I've not been Tyson's biggest fan (for this reason), but I feel he's really tightened this aspect of his game in the second half of the year. I think he's been pretty handy, if not very good at times!

    Agree. Yeah, I haven't been a fan generally, but he's done a couple of nice things here and there, but the reality is that Hannan is more likely to hit the scoreboard. JKH has some work to do, but can have a solid crack at it in 2019, especially with a few more games this year.

    I really thought he was gone this year but to his credit he's just kept working away.

    Maybe another Nev Jetta story of perseverance for JKH over the next couple of years.

    Gosh how is everyone feeling 24 hours out? I hitnk the bye was good because I didn't have to think about our final. But watching tonight it does make you feel excited about tomorrow night. 

    I must admit I have a few fears running through my head. One is geelong get off to a good start and we are playing catch up all night, or we miss our first few shots at goals and that just builds pressure.

    It would be great if we kicked the first goal at least or the first few. The crowd will be loud. 

    That roar at the end of the national anthem will be something tomorrow night. 

    Im going from work to the G. Im excited. I just can't handle a close game again. 

    Come on boys get the job done.

    JKH seriously unlucky, but that is great news for the club.

    Go back only 2 or 3 months ago and he was a certain delist. Now he not only deserves a contract for next year, but many of us would not have been disappointed to have him in the team for tomorrow.

    Keep your head up Jay, you are far from finished matey.

    Respect.

    Very glad to see Tyson in the side.  He was part of the bedrock of our midfeild during the early years of the teams reemergence.  Whilst he did seem to struggle with the pace of our improvement and find himself somewhat on the outer in the last two seasons, I think like others, his perservance and ability to improve and reinvent parts of his game are a real credit to him.  Have noticed some really good ball use and involvement in passages of play from Tyson over the past few months (think you will find it was Tyson that shot out a couple of great handpasses to Lewis Vs the Crows that resulted in clutch goals during the course of that game for example).

    Interesting article from Wayne Carey in the Fairfax press, asserting that whilst Geelong have some great star power, the rest of their 22 is not as good as ours.  Guys like Tyson are part of that picture.

    GO DEMONS - hanging out for Friday night big time.

    Yeah, I think he's given himself an opportunity to find his place in the team. At least another year, probably. Will be interesting to see if he's another story of perseverance!

    I feel the same! I'm calm now, but I hope for the sake of my nerves on the night that we kick the first few. It'll be electric. I'll be heading there as well, don't think I'll be able to work haha

    What is wrong with me, I just checked the ladder.

    Creeping, creeping, tension, the occasional shiver up the spine or through my ribs.

    Much more affected than I thought I'd be this far out from it. Gonna be trouble tomorrow night.

    Could have been worse LG, you could have tried to run the ladder predictor.  :)

     I really think it will be us that comes out breathing fire. Our starts in the second half of the season and in the last few games have been very good. I really think we will be well in control at the first break.

    Tyson is a better player to have in the team than JKH, it’s a credit to him that he’s managed to get up for the game. JKH is unlucky but that’s the way to cookie crumbles. Has he earned a one year extension?

    Watching the Tigers v Hawks game has definitely got me pumped for tomorrow, massive day for the club. Pound for pound I feel we are a better team than the cats, I’m expecting the cats to try some tactics early in the game to unsettle us. The last big stage we were on (QB) we started poorly and never got our mojo going, we need scoreboard pressure early to settle us. 

    Biggest question mark for me is how we play Viney? He’s our unknown X factor, could be massive or could go unsighted for a bit.

    No, he has earnt a two year extension, may not be in our first 22, but is getting there and has improved enormously

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • 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.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
