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.

My criticisms were proved justified

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.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
