Didn't he crack it because he was asked to play the wing and he left to get more time in the centre.

    Where is the evidence of that? I'm pretty sure the club instigated the trade.

    Good luck for the future Dom, I always thought you gave us everything you had.

    He was certainly an improvement on what we had, when he arrived. 
    but the game got too quick for him

    Always welcome back in future

    From memory I believe he was told he had a spot with us as an outside mid/wing and if he wanted to find an inside mid role else where he could, and he chose to go to north

    His 2014 was near A grade for us.

    Pretty sure he polled three 3 brownlow vote games that year - most if not all of them being losses.

    A talented player that went backwards by the year, and then was destroyed by injury at North (albeit he was poor in the 5 or 6 games he played for North)

    At his peak for us he was one of our best players, all the best DT!!!

    What ever did happen to Preuss? He still on a list?

    It's a shame things didn't work out for him at North. I've seen him a few times at the Cherry Tree down in Cremorne and the Denis The Menace cafe round the corner. I think he has a golf apparel business with his brother that should keep him busy post AFL.

    Preuss is with GWS I believe, but has had back to back long term injuries (including a torn pectoral in the gym) and hasn't played a game since leaving us.

    Edit: And best of luck to Dom Tyson for the future - he was a bright light in a crappy time for us when he first came over.

    I was always a big fan of Dom Tyson, even towards the end of his time with Melbourne. While he did have his deficiencies, he was generally a very penetrating kick and he had quick hands in close. His career may not have panned out in the way we expected but playing over 100 games is an accomplishment from any footballer.

    The biggest highlight of Tyson's career was his two sealers in our win against Hawthorn in 2016.

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

    He had recurring calf problems all last year which has carried onto this year.

    ah ok, my mistake then. I thought he had gotten over it since he seemed pretty fit when I watched him play in the vfl match at marvel against Casey earlier this year.

    Yes, I would not have picked him but he did his best for us, all you can ask. Seemed a quality bloke.

    Saw him in Richmond a few years  ago with a compression bandage around his troublesome calf. I said gday hows it going and he gave me the time of day and engaged in convo and i thought then nice bloke. Played 100 games at elite level which us 100 more than I played. GOOD LUCK Dom!

    He looked like the next Pendlebury when we first got him.

    Runner-Up for the Bluey in 2014. It's a shame it didn't work out.

    It did work out. We got him during his best years, he was a valuable contributor during the rebuild, we continued to build after he was traded out, and he got a much longer career than the average AFL player.

    Only pity for mine is he couldn’t quite notch up 100 games for the club.

    Dom was a very talented hard working Demon. Very unfairly criticised by Joe boy constantly. His whipping boy. Good luck for your future Dom.

    One of the nicest blokes you would ever meet.  Absolute quality individual.

    Dom Tyson was a great young bloke and was very good with my kids at any event.  Injury killed his career and he couldn’t get that extra pace needed at AFL level.  He had a few very good years and yes he was critical in turning around the club with some wins in 2016-18 especially the sealers v the Hawks.  Good luck young man.

    Hate to say it, but I'm pretty convinced the knee injury he picked up at our miserable 2017 pre-season camp caused the steady decline in his career after so much early promise. His kicking penetration and agility in close never really looked the same again.

    Was shot when he left us, so glad he got a couple more seasons before wrapping up.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
