Exactly why I'd hate to lose him. Can't see that pick helping us out if Viney and Oliver go down.

You are using one pick for the Preuss, another for KK leaving you with 4 picks between 33-55 and hopefully get the Bedford for pick 90ish as NGA pick

I disagree. I think we played Tyson over Fritsch because he is experienced and was considered to be more 'finals ready'.

He admitted he was nervous about being dropped and his three finals were all extremely underwhelming. 

His manager has now come out suggesting he'd be open to a trade.

Clearly, and I mean clearly, he is not considered best 22 when we have a full squad available.

Based on your online persona you are probably the last person on earth I'd enjoy having a beer with but you are 100% right here. 

I'll be keen to see Salem play whatever Tyson's role was/is after he is replaced on HB by some incoming bodies during the trade period.

What a truly bizarre pre-pending to the "you are right"

Not that bizarre if you've been exposed to STMJ's posts for long enough

Why? Salem was given a go in the middle in the first half of the season and showed he isn't that good at it.

We aren't getting a second round pick for him 40-55 is his value this would be similar for Kent and AVB

Eh whatever. Both Macca's picked in the 50s, so was Hunt. Still plenty of quality for scouts with the right eyes.

I would definitely keep Tyson. Let's not forget that Kennedy-Harris was in the side until Viney returned, and he is a long way from being an AFL footballer.

Perhaps Tyson is not automatic best 22, but every team has injuries during the course of a season and you need some cover. I would hate to lose Tyson and have to resort to playing a bloke like Maynard in a big game. At least you know that Tyson will find the footy and use it reasonably well.

JKH is a better winger than Tyson.

Tyson can win contested ball but he is one paced, gets caught in possession too often and his disposal is unreliable. All in all not a winger and I imagine he realises he will struggle to play regular senior footy at the Dees next year and beyond as we look to get more run in the team.

Still there are clubs who lack contested ball winners who he could play a role for over the next few years like the Blues.

My guess from a club perspective is that he is probably on a contract that pays him pretty well and they see him struggling to play every week so want contract off the books to create salary cap room.

Anyone who wants to retain Tyson must live in one of those houses where you have to crawl over furniture to get from room to room.

 

He is above average depth for us and I would love to keep him for this reason, but it’s extremely unfair to hold back someone who is clearly good enough to be in a starting 22 of a club not blessed with a hundred quality inside mids, for the purpose of covering injuries. 

If he wants more game time, I understand why he’d leave and I hope we trade him to a club who really needs his type and get something good in return.

He clearly can play and is a pretty good inside mid. He’s just not good enough to get a starting position in our midfield. It’s a difficult position.

I was referring to where we had Tyson on a wing later in the season. Original post poorly worded. 


There's no right or wrong way, we want depth in the midfield but he may want opportunity. Always a tough choice and no one size fits all approach.

This photo is from an art installation where a brother and sister cleared out all the stuff that their father had obsessively collected and stashed. Then they sorted it into a warehouse space. It just kept going and going.

You can't see in this photo but I believe both Dom Tyson was stashed along one side. Though he should have been in the middle for best effect.

And I say that as someone who has respect for Tyson and thinks he has been a solid contributor. But even his mum would say that he's better off being put to use somewhere else than left in storage at the Demons.

Looking forward to ETTheTradeBreaker having a bit of a photoshop of this and sticking Dom in the corner.... take it away, ET.

Tyson is the perfect surplus-to-needs “asset” in my opinion - quite a capable player in his own right, just not good enough for our already formidable midfield and should be able to be exchanged for an equally capable player who fills a pressing need.

If Carlton don't come knocking with one of pick 24 or 25 then they are idiots.

They don’t have to not do that to prove they are idiots, they have already shown they are. 

125 votes in 17 games.

7.4 votes a game

1.8 per coach.

So more weeks than not the coaches thought Tyson was either not doing his role at all or just meeting the baseline standards.

Who was it that called Dal Santo up on SEN and corrected him about Tyson's disposal? ?

Was pissing myself when the Dee supporter called in and just shut Dal santo down.

Not a wise move by the fella, we want full trade value.

  • 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    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.
