Richmond makes play for Dom Tyson [revisited?]

Hard for a 19 yr old who has played 5 games to knock back $1.8 million over 4 years

fair-dinkum that much?? Considering they have $cully on a mill a season and the big re-signs of which Dom is one, surely in a couple of yrs time they will be struggling bigtime top hold onto their 25 1st round draft picks. By that stage we should be well and truly in our window.

They have a higher salary cap of about $2 m. It's a joke

Yeah me too. Don't think Dom is going to be any where near as good as Flossy.

Yep, game time on offer too. Tiges drove his price up nicely though, little bit of pay back

All the big clubs like ours will just wait for free agency and all these players will walk for free.

[Coach]

Aren't these blokes about 7 years away from being eligible to be free agents?

[bojangles17]

My mail is tyson and o rourke are as good as tigers soon as they qualify for free agency

Fair way off. Anything could happen in 5 years..

Still be interesting to see if your little bird is correct when the time comes. Bookmarked bojan.

Shows how good my mail is!
Still hopeful he'l be a tiger one day.

Free agency is a while away, our chances will diminish as the years roll om, i remember jude bolton , early on always being a chance to coe hoe 10 + years on he s still there

Dom Tyson reveals how close he came to joining Richmond

By James Dampney

EXCITING midfield prospect Dom Tyson has revealed for the first time the temptation he felt to walk away from Greater Western Sydney and join Richmond, the club he supported as a boy.

Late last season Tyson, 19, was heavily linked with a move home to Melbourne to join the Tigers.

Amid reports he was homesick, the third pick in the 2011 NAB AFL Draft was the only one of the Giants' record eight Rising Star nominees who didn't extend his contract in 2012.

Out of contract this season, Tyson ultimately resisted the overtures from Tigerland and has extended his deal with GWS until the end of 2015.

"I was tempted, yeah. That's a fair statement," Tyson told AFL.com.au.

"Being a Richmond fan growing up, I always dreamt of playing for Richmond.

"I think they approached my management and I gave it a bit of thought, but it didn't consume me or anything, I was more than happy to stay up here for another two years.

"I knew I had unfinished business here."
