In case you are interested, Dom Tyson will wear number 21 at North Melbourne.

 

Further evidence he was going backwards, even his number is now backwards

Just incase anyone was interested in seeing Dom in his new kit. Best of luck Dom. 

 

Suspect it was one of Carlton, Gold Coast or St Kilda. No half decent team is offering a depth midfielder 5 years.

He’s better than that imo. We just have freakish ability in Oliver, viney and Brayshaw at the coal face. Given an ongoing role at stoppages I think Tyson will be a very good player ar North.... but they won’t be top 4.

Rohan Connolly reckons Kangas are top 4 in 2019. Tyson Hall Polec and Pitterd plus youngster Tarryn Thomas reckon to boost team into premiership contention. Connolly suffers from “Premature escalation”!! 

Wow.  From clearly missing the top 8 with the aid of the leagues  easiest draw to now making top 4.  What's he smoking in his pipe?

The Kangas have a recruiting haul something like what Port did last season.

How did they finish up?

Like Port in season 2018, North will be lucky to make the 8 this coming season.

I liked Dom too. He was a bright spot there for us for a couple of seasons. 94 games for us, not to father/son
I’ll ignore the trade that got him to us but upon leaving we got Preuss and the pick that became Marty Hore. Preuss left and gave us the pick that gave us Fraser Rosman 

So Dom Tyson (retired) = Hore + Rosman

I thought he was pretty serviceable when playing with us, especially since he was played as an outside mid and he considered himself an inside mid, hence the move. 
I am a bit surprised he didn't get to play more games than he did for North.
I wonder what went wrong?

I didn't mind Dom - he served a purpose during the Roos' rebuiding era

Correct weight.

We needed experienced players who had been in the system for a year or two. Bringing in the number two pick into what was close to a VFL quality list would have backfired badly.

Dom was never going to be the next Dusty Martin, but he played a part in the years between 2014 and 2016 which ensured that while we were no world beaters, we weren't being pantsed every week. And for that we should thank him.

didn't it basically work out as:

josh kelly = tyson + salem + hunt

tyson = preuss + hore

preuss = sideshow bob

so josh kelly = sideshow bob + salem + hunt + hore

He was injured nearly the whole time he was there unfortunately (chronic ankle from memory) however the few games he played he didn’t do all that well sadly for him.

One day in the next century someone's going to be trawling through the ancient records of Demonland and conclude that in 2021 there was some sort of witch-hunt for working girls involving a circus performer called Robert.

Such a talented youngster and things just didnt fall his way.  Injuries and then the game looked too quick for his contested style

Served the Demons well when he played for us. All the Best Dom

I too like Domma and was a bit sad to see him go.

His 2014 - 2016 period was very fine contributor for us and really made a solid impact through the impact. 

Always welcome back to the red and blue home.

Injuries.

Wrist and persistent calf problems through his time at North.

That was in his first year, he has been fit through 2020-2021. 

I don't think thats correct. Has been injured a lot through those 2 yrs.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
