Like the first letters of Dom Tyson's given name and surname
Ps judging by Claytons' responses to the Facebook posts about him , it looks like he's across all the social media platforms and i reckon he just might read bigfooty too...
so if you're reading this Clay, we love you, you big red fire engine. Welcome aboard son.

I'm now patiently waiting for a new member to the Bigfooty Melbourne boards with a curious amount of inside information about the club and the user name BigRedFireEngine ...

The problem with recruiting redheads is they're notoriously difficult to get rid of. Bad enough delisting a normal player who has tried his guts out but failed to make the grade; worse still with a ranga because you know the poor hapless bloke has been consigned to a life of stacking shelves or cleaning out septic tanks.

His ranganess certainly made him easier to spot in the highlights package.

I like that bit. You can pick him out at a fair distance so don't have to whiplash check the screen, which will take some of the joy out of those matches deep into the finals

Our club has a long proud history of sacking redheads

Remember when Bate dyed his hair? And then got on youtube? And then just got all weird and health guy style?

Easily the best part of recruiting them.

He has a point of difference though. He's a NEW ERA redhead.

Certainly jettisoned plenty of them but it took a long time to do it.

Those bounces won't work at afl level
I dunno if he was trying his opposite hand but he had to slow down to get the bounce an if you get tackled while bouncing it's automatic holding the ball
He looked like a basketballer trying it for the first time

True, it took the club forever to get rid of that Norm Smith fellow

I love the part on the highlight footage where he headbutts his own team mate out of the way 
love that hunger.

Also, everyone is commenting on the infamous 3 terrible bounces. Haven't heard mention of the perfect bounce later on in the video.

Im certain those 3 bounces cant be his actual technique

Never in his AFL career will he ever get that much time and space to run with the ball. The bounces aren't impressive, it's his intent in every situation (in close or in space) to take the game on. Brings his teammates into the contest too.

Whats more important is we have another genuinenly tough kid who will put his hand up in round 1 for selection
Young guns in Brayshaw, Viney, Tyson with unknown potential of Petracca, Trenners and Oliver
Some solid back up talent in Vanders, Melksham, Bugg and Watts to go with the senior talent of Vince and Jones

Yep. I think the biggest improvement in 2016 is when we go to the VFL and look at our depth, it is going to be made up of Kennedy/Watts/ANB/Stretch/JKH/Oliver/Trengove/Weideman, rather than Terlich/M Jones/Riley/Bail etc (I know Terlich and M Jones are still there but they won't play 5 games between them in 2016). It isn't so obvious as a point of improvement but I'm confident we'll see the benefits on the field when we get a couple injuries.

Point is, they are no worse than TMac's bounces, that don't work half the time..

The technique im talking about not the decision or the outcome
