Past #36: Tyler Sellers - delisted end '24 after 2 NM AFL games &being an integral part of VFL program - thanks Tyler

[Themanbun]

Hell yeah. Onya Ty

 

[Liam Boy]

Can't help but wonder if the club was holding off on getting this done until the day the Tarryn suspension dropped so we'd have some counterprogramming. Anyway, love this move and I look forward to seeing what he can do

 

[Roosurgence]

So what is his official height? Looks undersized to play true key position. Good luck to him anyways...

Bailey Fritsch plays as a pseudo key forward for Melbourne and is 188cm.

Good business to reward someone in your program internally and if he can make it into the seniors with teams so Larkey focused this guy seems to have the smarts to put himself in positions to hurt the opposition.

From a personal perspective, I would rather this guy working in tandem with Larkey than CCJ. CCJ more often than not just gets in Larkey’s way.

 

[Ashley B]

Well done to Tyler. Haven’t seen much of him but hope he can make his mark. Interesting Big Al reiterated not only hope he is a good player but a good bloke.

Scary last few years we had barely any key position players. We now have maley sellers dawsonx2 nyuon and Pink. To compliment logue larkey comben and corr.

This is what happens when the footy dept and club are on the same page.

Plays like Charlie Curnow

 

[amaz199]

Bit of an interesting one. Because he's a bit of an unknown at AFL level, he might get the odd second or third defender matchup and do well.

 

[Liam Boy]

Plays like Charlie Curnow

It's amazing how every single key forward drafted this year reckons they play like charlie curnow. we could see our first ever 20-player tie for the coleman medal in a few years

 

[Roosurgence]

What were Larkey's comments post-intra? Sounds very promising.

I heard he said if signing this bloke means that CCJ doesn’t get a game then he is all for it.

FFS CCJ was colliding with him in an intraclub game.

 

[sruss]

His arms and frame look massive in that vid North put out. It might not matter that he will be giving up a couple of cm on key defenders

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Very happy for Ty and the club.
Hopefully he can get a few senior games and cement himself a spot on the list.

 

[Sillygit]

eyyy nostrils will be happy, we got the wiz!

 

[Amicalola]

eyyy nostrils will be happy, we got the wiz!

I kind of miss him now that he's gone...

 

[DesertRoo]

Goals for this year.. playing finals

 

[Amicalola]

I assume he meant VFL finals plus a few AFL games, but I also was surprised to start with haha.

 

[RightWingRoo]

Easily impressed me the most of any non-listed players in our VFL side last year, would've been happy if we took him at 48 in the ND.
But having Tyler do close to a full pre-season with the AFL side, and prove he can match it is a real positive. Reckon he'll play a fair bit of senior footy this year

 

[ChopChopDigDig]

Reminds me of a young Leighroy Brown

 

[King Hansen]

Can he win the rising star?

 

[Lomas]

Can he win the rising star?

Yes. Meets age and game requirements

He has something about him. Plenty of times I thought he was too slow or out of position, but still got the mark.

 

[Tas]

I play like a cross between Ross Glendening, Barry Cable and Wayne Carey.

 

[Shermanator]

I play like a cross between Tarryn Thomas, Barry Cable and Wayne Carey.

FIFY

 

[Jasemon]

Congrats Tyler and welcome to the fold. Love it when you see persistence and hard work paid off.
Will be a great foil/insurance for Larks.

Is it just me or does he have a similar body type and role to play as that of a Cameron Pedersen
