    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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
