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

[Devington]

Pretty much did what you would expect of him. Get the hard ball out and tackle anything near him. No shiny bells or whistles really. We got him as inside depth after all.

Clearly ahern should be in the team ahead of him, but I'm not going to hold that against Dom.

 

[Horizons_00]

Goddam he is so slow though....

 

[Heaps of fun]

Disposal has been even worse than advertised. Playing a nothing role in the side right now.

 

[The Nostradamus]

he is playing the defensive role at stoppages whilst still getting a lot of ball in only 65-70% game time

disposal has been ok, no major eff ups like others

A less athletic, lower impact version of Greenwood.

Are you saying we can trade him to Collingwood for a second rounder? Really keen to grab another short KPD that can't kick, plenty of them around the juicy mid 20s.

Could use greenwood in the middle currently.
certainly lost that trade, picked up Nielson.
Would Take Jacobs instead, but still..

 

[Event Horizon]

The accidental goal? That was the worst shot on goal ever. Not even a dribble kick, a total accident. And it went through! Talk about one piece of play summing up our team! lol

He's not the reason we lost. Not even close.

Agree. Not the reason we won either though. I don't have an issue with him in the team but serious look needs to be taken at balance once we have Jed and hopefully Jacobs available. It might not be Tyson that makes way but there simply have to be a couple and it sure as sh*t ain't looking like it's gonna be Hall, Polec, LDU, Higgins etc. Times ticking, if a classy user gets pushed to half back a couple of average defenders with average disposal might be in dire straights.

You have problems with 21 (5 clearances), 5 marks, 4 tackles, 32 pressure acts and a goal in 66% TOG from a midfield rotation player?

He's 25 mate. He hasn't even hit his peak as an inside grunt.

No. I just said I don't have a problem with him in the team. I think he has a valid argument for a place. You just know he'll be one of the ones to make way though when the time comes while we avoid "tough calls" on some players who are simply not doing that well. I would like to see higher TOG though from a 25 year old to make it easier for the younger blokes who have higher skills but less physical ability.

You have to look at the coach about that.

I’m still scratching my head as to why a lot of our mids had such a low TOG.
Are the players not up to it? New fitness guru got it wrong?

If we had won, everyone would be saying what a great role playing mid he is.....

 

[shintemaster]

Assume so, unless he doesn't have the capacity.

We've always had a few with low TOG but it just seems like now we have a relatively mature core group. I'd much rather carry an extra tall forward and work these guys a bit harder, assuming that having a decent tall straightens us up and in the end actually makes them work less.

 

[mouncey2franklin]

Happy for the club to give him an extended run, see what he is capable of when they show confidence in him.

Turns 26 later this year, plenty of football ahead of him if he finds his place and role.

 

[Flawed Genius]

Dunno what he offers that LDU doesn't do better

He is an average kick of the footy, a worse handballer, and misses tackles

He makes appalling decisions. I get why we got him, but there's a reason he cost pick 62

Has to go straight to, and stay, in the VFL and only be used as injury cover.

Sub-standard skills are a killer and his skills are unequivocally sub-standard. Just keeps missing his handball targets.

I'm disappointed, I thought he was better.

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

 

[The Nostradamus]

Had some nice inside 50 kicks today

Least of our concerns

 

[susurrar]

battler. didnt like the pick up and hes been worse than i thought he was.

im sure he will improve and become a solid foot soldier but jeez.

 

[Daniltchenko You Beauty]

Jed in next week.

I've been at a loss as to why we've played him all season in place of Ahern.

 

[Benno_900]

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

And he is average.

 

[mouncey2franklin]

Hard to judge without knowing what his role was or being able to watch him closely live at the game.

That shanked kick towards goals was pretty funny, though.
