Dom Tyson 2018

[ThePuppetMaster]

He’s got his strength over the ball back as well - hope he keeps a spot in our team, he’s a quality player when firing

 

[stEdy]

Yep, was excellent at absorbing Sydney's tackling pressure and releasing team-mates with hands

Looks like he's got his groove back, which probably means it's time to let him rot on a flank or a wing and then wonder why he never does anything

If you steal Gaff, can we have Tyson?

Everyday of the week.

You don't rate Tyson?

 

[Topkent]

Was good I thought seemed to be one who handled the pressure of the game in tight. Had a squib effort where he jumped and tapped the ball on behind him directly to a swans player.

But I could find a moment like that for most players.

 

[Topkent]

You don't rate Tyson?

Because we have so many midfielders who can only play one position Tyson is playing on a wing and his footskills and gut running are just average for an AFL player.

Needs to be underneath the ruckmans nose to the most damage as he is a clean player in traffic.

Gaff would be the perfect replacement in the role he is playing.

Glad you’re not our list manager! Haven’t seen much of the Dees have you

I wasn't suggesting a straight swap.

But if you were, it's a yes

Definitely noticed this on Sunday too

Didn’t think that was a squib, was trying to do something clever that didn’t work I reckon.

Potato tomato. Same as when Hogan randomly handballs over his head of Salem goes to ground, it's taking the easy option

Same as when Hogan randomly handballs over his head

Willing to cop your views on Hogan, but not this. How many goals out the back do we score when Hogan spots the running option and gets his hands free? A lot. He's excellent at it, and its not the easy option at all.

Easy option isn’t necessarily the wrong one?

Exactly. Or how many goals do you see from the Hawks due to Rough or someone electing a clever tap on in the fwd line, rather than taking possession, getting piles on top of and stopping the play? A lot. If it’s good enough for Rough...

 

[Topkent]

Hmm I did a big reply on this that isn't here...

It doesn't bother me in the forward line as you need creativity and Hogan has great vision with his hands. Its when it's done on the back flank that shits me because you need to be alot more aware of the need to hold onto the footy an possibly absorb pressure.

Where is Tyson at? Seems like he has lost a role with you guys. What would you guys consider his trade value?

Remember he was an avid Tiger supporter, but not sure he would find a role at PR any easier - somewhere like Carlton, Dogs, Suns, Saints however - definitely could use a potentially good young-ish midfielder

His value would be 30-40 atm, but I think we will keep him with question marks on Vineys foot.

Although I agree that 30-40 would be the fair price at the moment, unless it was 20-30 I would prefer to keep him as depth. He is still contracted. Only reason I would want to trade him for something as low as 40 is if it was to clear his salary to get Gaff.

I think he would be best suited at Essendon, they could do with an inside mid and Dom could do with playing 99% of his football inside.

Would have agreed with this 5 or 6 weeks ago, and probably thought similar that we should look to move him on and try to use him to get an "insurance" ruckman.

However, the past 3 to 4 weeks he has been building better. His skills have looked sharper, he is sticking tackles and getting a good spread of footy on the inside as well as outside. Would like him to hit the scoreboard more, as he gets in enough positions and has a decent long kick on him. At this stage, he looks more ingrained in the 22 than he did a month back.
