Great Vacuums. 7 years on, still going strong.

Don't watch many non-north games and in the games against us, I hadn't noticed him that much. But my mate (non-north) who is the smartest footy brain I know swears he is a real gun.

Is he blowing smoke or should I get excited?

He didn’t go pick 3 for no reason.
But here’s the summary.

Top bloke, strong leadership and very smart natural footballer, strong runner and defensively minded.

Gets let down by his decision making from time to time and his kicking under pressure is inconsistent.

You mate's name isn't Sebastian by any chance?

Nope. Different bloke.

Dom Tyson | Midfielder | 25-years-old | 107 games
“Dom Tyson just adds to our midfield depth.

“Again, he doesn’t leave us so vulnerable if anything was to happen to a Ben Cunnington, a Jack Ziebell or a Shaun Higgins.

“We know that he can come in with Jed Anderson, Ben Jacobs, Luke Davies-Uniacke and Paul Ahern, and add to that midfield depth.”

Not really a glowing endorsement. Pretty much just says he adds to our depth.

I would’ve thought there may have been some mention of his upside ect

Plays his best footy as the number one guy under the ruckman, at North he'll be 2nd or 3rd in line compared to Melbourne where he was 5th or 6th in line.

Ummm... what.

Are we being insulted by a guy who beat us once in over 10 years and were as ineffective in finals as we were?

Didn't look like an insult to me ...

I guess I read the comparison like my family was getting rude phone calls.

As a pure inside midfielder at Melbourne he was behind:
Oliver, Viney, Brayshaw, Jones

At north as pure inside mid he is probably only behind Cunnington & Higgins.

It was a fair comment. Melbourne’s inside depth is probably the best in the comp.

Probably add Jacobs in there.
But you can see we’re actually a bit light on in the coalface.

Will wear the #21 guernsey.

I don't remember ever shouting Tom.

We'll be shouting VACUUUMMMM!

 

[Snake_Baker]

kangaroo7 and Mastermind may have shouted Tom, when Tommy Allison was up & about back in the 60's.

Hang on a minute, I have overlooked something.

Looking forward to again shouting THOMMMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Hes done the Simpkin in reverse. Simpkin - 21-12 Tyson - 12 to 21

.........and people suggest we are one and the same.

I'm far too stupid to pick up on that.

Mate , what we say in the public domain and what is said behind glass closed doors with people walking past with the ability to read lips is another matter. imo all of our recruits were brought in to play seniors and form our best 22.

He's midfield depth, not list depth.

After Cunners, he's on par with anyone else we have when it comes to extracting the ball.
