Farewell Dom Tyson

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.

    • GAMEDAY: Western Bulldogs

      It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      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?
