This isn’t the first time I (MJ) have penned a trade article about Dom Tyson. After spending 2 seasons and playing 13 games at GWS, Tyson was traded to Melbourne.
In his first year at Melbourne (2014) he was incredibly fantasy relevant, in part due to his pricing that year which was a fully fattened priced rookie but he rewarded coaches as he played all 22 games and averaged 90+ in SuperCoach and AFLFantasy.
It’s not the only season Tyson has averaged over 90, back in 2016 he hit that mark for both SuperCoach and AFLFantasy. While these are not premium numbers they are draft and daily fantasy relevant.
At North Melbourne he (along with Aaron Hall & Jared Polec) will add some depth and experience to a midfield group that needs in. Most notably for Dom his strength is in winning clearances and his inclusion in the side will take less of the dependance off Ben Cunnington and Shaun Higgins who for most parts have been the lone rangers in the Kangaroos midfield.
Despite some solid fantasy seasons and multiple 90+ seasonal averages, I don’t have the confidence that despite him being priced 10-15 points per game under his potential I don’t think that’s enough ‘value’ to jump on him as a mid priced option. Potentially he’s worth a spot in AFLFantasy if you believe he could average 95+ over the first 5-8 weeks and then quickly sideways trade him, but even then I think we’ll get better value return on other players.
