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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
