    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

    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”!!

    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.

    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.

    Looks like it's farewell to Dom's AFL career.

    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.

    Wrist and persistent calf problems through his time at North.

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

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
