    Very happy about Preuss, but probably in minority when I say I didn't want Tyson to go.

    He certainly had his limitations, but I think a lot of his good work went unnoticed and unappreciated.

    Anyway, he's gone now and good luck to him.

    I wonder who joeboys 'same three words regardless of actual performance' player will be now....

    Well done to Dom. Still remember our win interstate against Adel in the difficult years where he kicked a late goal for the dees. Gave us hope when we needed it and will be remembered fondly

    Agreed 'D1858'.

    Thanks Dom for the massive chance you took coming to us in difficult times and giving your best as we grew this club culture and list.

     

    Even if i wanted you to move club's, since we have grown our midfield... I totally respect your efforts and commitment to the Dees and the AFL game.

    I truly wish you well and hope you have a lengthy career with the Roos.

     

    Thanks again to a loyal club player...  all the best Dom.

    This is my favourite trade week.

    Thanks, Dom.  Think this is a big win/win.  We fill an urgent need, clear some cap space and gain a later pick that might help us either bundle up or sweeten a deal.  Norf gets a midfielder to play inside that improves them.  A good example of how trading should go, rather than the Bell End method.

    Came to us on a low point and I’m glad he got to play 3 finals after all that work.

    Well done to all for this trade. Best for everyone.

    I think Dom Tyson was unfortunately left behind with the development of Clayton Oliver last season and this season Angus Brayshaw and James Harmes.

    With the return of AVB and Petracca's involvement in the center square.

    With his development stagnating he became a player the MFC could trade and get someone like Brayden who will now be backup and possible 2nd ruck in some games.

    From what I've seen/heard you couldn't get a better bloke to be around a footy club and it looked like he'd built some good relationships with seemingly everyone at the MFC. Sad he couldn't crack the 100 club game mark after coming to us when we had barely any redeeming features except a coach who showed some faith and went after Dom. He definitely helped to bring our inside midfield game up to AFL standard in the early Roos years from the basket case it was prior to that. 

    Found himself on the outer a bit this year, both figuratively and literally, and struggled to break back in despite playing 17 games. Battled manfully through injury setbacks and interrupted pre-seasons and I hope he can find a clean slate at NMFC and reach the potential he showed for us back in 2014-15.

    Go well Domma.

    Best of luck Dom, very important player to us when he first came on board.

    Hope it works out for him at North

    Good move. Message to rest of the group that you need to earn your half a million a year.

    Yeah... I think this is a win/win. hopefully.

    We help find Ty another home and contract... & we get something back, to help us as well.

    I also hope Big Peurssy goes in hard, for the RednBlue, in 2019.

    Go well Domma. 

    Dom was really important for our young side when he came over from GWS and was arguably our best inside mid. He showed alot of character to work back into form playing in a position he isnt ideally suited on the wing. Hope he plays alot of games with North over the next few years and finishes a 150-200 game player.

    The ‘message to the group’ is that we will be honest with you about your role at the club and that we will facilitate a trade to a club that sees a more preferred role should you not agree with how we see your future.

    I know it’s not a ‘bumper sticker’ of a message but it’s more preferable and accurate than your ‘earn your wage ya bums’ slogan...

    Always loved and had admiration for this guy. Came at day one of a huge rebuild. You have to love a player like that. The move makes sense, but still sad to see him go.

    Ridiculous.

    Bang on. The message will 100% be about loyalty.  We will do the right thing by you instead of holding you to a contract to the detriment of your career. 

    We did everything we could to reinvent him in a new role when younger players went past him, but he couldn't quite nail the role. As a result, we found him a deal that suited him (he refused GCS) so he got opportunity, and got agood outcome in return. Only 94 games, and he'll probably play more than that in 6-7 years at North, but he'll be welcomed back when ever he drops by. 

    Hopefully he has added strings to his bow from the positional experience this year. At 25 he has along career star of him at north, likely as a starting mid in 2019 at least,  and I wish him the best.

    But not Norf - just so annoying.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
