Dyson has played well through the pre-season and deserves his spot. Last year everyone bagged him for playing like crap and when he actually plays well people still dont like it. geeez. its a new year lets hope he plays well throughout.

He get a heap of the pill in last years NAB allthough he butchered it mostly.
Glad I was not the only one..
It's criminal how we, as a club, underrate Nash. He's no superstar, but he's a consistently good player who puts in 100% every match. I almost fell over last year when he was left out of the supporters' best 22.
Dyson, at his best, might just surpass Nash's average contribution - but his worst is dismal. Maybe Dyson will come good, TSB sees something in him and I hope he's right. But let's not get confused, he's a project player ... Nash is a regular contributer now, he's not a maybe.
There are few players who have earned their spot as much as Nash - he should be put on a pedistal by us, our players should strive to put in that much effort each week. You drop him for a project like Dyson or Houli, and you send a message to the other players - we don't reward effort.
Maybe his worst crime is that he is a known quantity - around here we only seem to get excited about maybes.
Dropping Nash for Dyson makes me firey hot ... with anger.
i will be annoyed if h.slattery plays. he really is only a fringe player

Dyson has done diddly through the pre season.
Pretty much every game was average or below. Sums up his career.
He get a heap of the pill in last years NAB allthough he butchered it mostly.
Oh well, here's hoping a dud can turn things around.
We know Skipworth is in, Lonergan is a no brainer.
Pears and Dyson for the other two spots I think.
I really believe they'll ruck Paddy.
Given Peter is playing half-back, I presume Hocking will tag Shaun Burgoyne, with Kane Cornes (who'll tag anyway) he is their best mid. That worries me, could be good value for most disposals.
When he has been playing on a wing.
Half backs also have to mind a half forward.
Hope you did not loose too much money taking the value on Shaun Burgoyne getting the most disposals
Hocking 25 , Burgoyne 15.
Nash is consistently exposed by the opposition when they play through his opponent and he cannot kick to save himself.
Just for the record, a quick note on Nash's game against Carlton.
Disposals: 18
Effective: 94% (that's 17 effective)
I mention this because when I was calling for him to be promoted to the 1's, the usual response was that his disposal was too poor to justify a spot. Only Jobe (19 effective) and Stanton (20 effective) had more effective disposals on the night.
Meanwhile Dyson, who seems untouchable at selection picked up 9 effective touches.
Dyson tagged Murphy mostly in the 2nd half. He was pretty effective. Who was Nash playing on? I honestly cannot remember.
Nash was on Houlihan who had a pretty good game. Houlihan had 19 touches, 2 goals, 2 assists, 4 clearances and 8 inside 50's. A pretty good days work for a half forward flanker.
Nash missed more tackles than <insert mardi gras joke here> so forget about his one game where he hit a few targets.
Nash and Dyson are both duds so it doesn't really matter which one's in the side. At least Dyson gives a bit of a contest these days and has improved slightly.
