Traded Picks 2, 20, 72 for Dom Tyson, Picks 9 and 53

[Bert Man]

Dom Tyson is now a Melbourne player in exchange for pick 2. GWS now have the first two picks in the draft.

 

[Tulip]

Happy.

 

[Books]

Another good deal for the Dees!

Pick 2 could be a star. but this is VERY adequate compo.

 

[Silvagnis]

Thanks for making GWS stronger again.

 

[KAYNE]

I believe GWS also get pick 20.

 

[treefingers]

GWS have picks 1 and 2 again? Crazy

 

[Scotty_222]

i reckon gws will either trade pick 2 on for established players or draft scharenberg with it

 

[haydo]

Will get plenty more midfield time at the Dees. Was in the pecking order behind Ward, Scully, Whitfield and the likes. Will be a walk in starter for a Demons midfield now with Tyson and Michie added to it. Not big names, but 2 young up and coming midfielders for the next 8-10 years. Good move Dees

 

[Scotty_222]

thats not a bad get for melbourne..

 

[FRUMPY]

good deal by melbourne. get a previous no.3 draft pick who is 2 years older and more ready for senior footy and they still get pick no.9.

GWS would be happy with pick no.2 and would probably look to offload that for some more talent.

 

[DustinsGuns]

Risky trade by the Dees, however they will still get some quality at pick 9.

Tyson is pretty unproven this stage.

 

[PAFC_1870]

Wonder where this leaves the (overs) pick 20 for Vince...

Is this the guy the tiges were pretty keen on? I know they were after someone pretty heavily last year.

I don't know a great deal about him but it looks like a pretty good trade for Melbourne.

There's still the Sylvia compo pick which may be #21 or thereabouts.

 

[PAFC_1870]

Not a chance he'd be 21.

 

[bulletproof]

Melbourne are already looking a more savvy operation under the new regime.

 

[JPod_31]

Pretty fair deal to me.

They would choose Aish over him.

Has had his share of injuries. You guys made a big play for him last year, and thought you may do the same again.

IMO, Melbourne aren't sold on either Aish or Kelly as pick 2, so we should be able to get the inside mid we are after with pick 9.

 

[Wokko]

GWS right to offload players who'll ask to go home anyway. Better to get as much as they can.

 

[CWaffles]

Im Happy Win/Win

Want Crouch or Freeman with our pick 9

 

[Suma Magic]

I think this is a very fair deal for both sides.

You can ignore 53 and 72.

If Tyson is worth around pick 5, and if you assume the Dees gave up pick 2 to get him, then the upgrade from 20 (to become 22) to 9 makes up for this.

 

[Buzzasto DaSilva]

Pick 2 (yes I understand there is a pick exchange as well) for a player that was pick 3 himself and hasn't been impressie nor reached the heights of his draft year since. Huge risk.

 

[Julius Seizure]

Decent trade for the dees. Will be a more impactful midfielder this year than whoever goes number 2. Still have pick 9 to work with as well.

 

[Tulip]

Not a chance he'd be 21.

Very likely. Band 3, we offered him a big contract.
