Profile

Tyson was a handy cash cow last season but can he continue to improve and be a premium in 2015? Looking at Dom's stats, every ton he scored was 110+ so when he goes big he goes big but there were plenty of sub 80 scores dragging his average down. He was a goalkicker in 2014 with 16 for the season so that helps supplement his disposals but he also gave away 30 free kicks (14th worst in the competition) and that had the effect of stripping 4 points off his fantasy average. I feel like it's a double edged sword playing for Melbourne, on the one hand he doesn't have as much competition for the ball but he can also be a victim of an overall poor team performance. Tyson is capable of improving in 2015 but I don't think it will be enough to warrant the risk of starting him.


Pros - On the rise, ball winner, goalkicker

Cons - Gives away too many free kicks, prone to quiet games


Prediction - 89-94

Not worth the risk, it's highly unlikely that he will be a viable option for AF this season.
