2014 AFL - Round 9 Discussion

Definitely a win-win but wasn't it simply Pick 2 for Tyson and Pick 9?

The trade which Melbourne lost imo was for Vince where they gave up another early pick. Vince might only be around for another couple of years.

Agree on Vince. The Tyson trade was Tyson, pick 9 and 54 for pick 2, 20 and 76 (roughly - I'm going from memory)

Can't see Hardwick surviving a year without finals footy. He speaks well but still hasn't proven he can coach.

Had a contract extension at the end of last season too I am fairly certain.

Yep, they added 2 more years to the year he had remaining. So he's contracted until the end of 2016.

Pretty much spot on.

Tyson, 9, & 53 for 2, 20, & 72

Thanks SD and GS.

That's a very fair trade in retrospect. Salem still needs to prove himself but looks the goods. Dom Tyson is a gun and for an inside player, knows how to find the goals.

Leading into this year his side was progressing well, but have hit a brick wall.. Big test of his ability to get the best out of his group over the next 3 months.

Tyson was rumoured to return home after 2012, and Richmond were into him.
I think GWS cut their losses and thought they may lose him for nothing .

Just watching some of the first half of the Saints Suns game.
They only got 14,000 there!
We must bring heavy pressure on the Suns, as Stkilda were virtual witches hats in the first half.
