Past #21: Dom Tyson aka 'Tom Dyson' - delisted end '21 - 6 NM games/1 NM goal - 113 AFL games - good luck DomTom

[kangaspurs]

He's been a bit too fumbly, but today, like last week I actually thought he was decent. The only disappointment with him so far is that it's probably him keeping Ahern out of the team and keeping LDU from seeing more midfield time. But in isolation, he's been decent.

Still scratching my head as to why we brought Tyson across. We have a plethora of his his type. Bizarre trade.

I think decent is a good word to describe him. He’s put up basically identical numbers each week. I don’t mind him as a back up or depth player but decent or handy shouldn’t be taking midfield minutes away from Ahern or LDU how have match defining potential.

100%

He does zero damage with his disposals, can anyone remember any memorable passages of play from the first three weeks?

 

[Harris 10]

Depth midfielder, that’s about it.

The mis-kicked goal after sharp hands from LDU in the 1st qtr against Brisbane. Memorable for being a good result from poor execution.

In a passage of play near the centre early in the last quarter today, he missed a target with a handball, scrambled to win the contested ball from the resulting spill, missed a second handball target, won it again and missed the third handball. All in about 15 seconds. Sums him up - goes super hard at the contest and wins more than his fair share, then undoes it all with poor execution.

For team balance I don’t think he plays once Anderson is back. Would much prefer Ahern’s polish in there too.

 

[Grogg]

BT called Dom a beautiful kick not 2 minutes after that shank.

He loves taking the piss out of us the campaigner.

But yeah, anyway, he's handy depth and not responsible for Pauly scratching his head on the sidelines.

That's totally on the coach, (who's probably mates with BT).

He had 2 lace out kicks inside 50 this week

Don’t see any issue with his disposal

lol, thanks BT.

You and I both know he will be playing ahead of LDU and Ahern once Jed is back.

 

[King Corey]

Has a crack.

Got nothing else to say.

 

[DesertRoo]

He keeps LDU out of the centre square and keeps Ahern out of the team.

And he is average.

Nothing wrong with Dom. At any stage of the game We should be having about 12 blokes running thru the middle, there’s room for all of them.

 

[RobZombie]

If he is what is keeping LDU out of greater midfield time... He should reacquaint himself with suburban footy

FWIW, both times I've been to training in the past month, LDU has been working mainly away from the main group and only limited amounts of match sim and full field drills. I wouldn't be surprised if he's managing something and that, rather than Tyson, is what's keeping him out of greater midfield time.

Dom would be high on my list of players to make way for Jed or Ahern though.

 

[Horizons_00]

If he’s keeping out Ahern, I would rather him play VFL to be honest

 

[muttley45]

A depth mid imo, his continuous senior selection is stifling the development of LDU and Ahern.

We no likey Preuss, we were going to pay him out, some s**t I'd suggest had gone down. Dees offered a bloke and we accepted it. Got something for nothing. A bit like a Bangkok brothel I'd suggest!

He is actually a beautiful looking kick. Got that sweet looking left foot vibe.....but faaaaaaaark me the ball goes sideways. Weird.

 

[Smoocher]

Disposal is average.
Speed is average.
Toughness above average.
Decision making below average.

This guy at best is a back up and should not be playing ahead Jed or Ahern.

He is vanilla as ****.

Adds nothing to the side. In there to win ball and play it safe, but he is even below average at that.

 

[bennymate]

Just a B grade player at his best and is depth, very much behind Jed and Ahern.

 

[northbergs]

The trade for him smacked of desperation to demonstrate we can attract players from other clubs. Should have just traded Preuss for the pick and taken a punt in the draft on a Ruckman or Key Position player. What a waste.

I reckon he offers more than we've seen so far. I wouldn't complain if he was sent to the vfl for a while, but I think he could rightly feel stiff if that happened to him before a few others.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Underrated going by some comments

The bloke wins the hard ball, tackles well, links up well and plays only 70% game time

Foot skills underrated also, hits the leading forward lace out much better than a lot of others in our team

I’d point my finger at another half dozen or so before I get to this bloke
