INSIDER: If your coach Travis Hodgson had three non-negotiables for the players etched in stone - what would they be?

TYSON: 1. Play your role, 2. When it's your time to go, you go, 3. Good offence comes off good defence.

INSIDER: You and Daniel Toman had a heap of the footy last week (94 possessions combined, 84 uncontested) - for the record, how many times do you think you hit him up with the short option?

TYSON: Yeah, he's not shy finding the footy - he probably owes me a few beers - good observation.

INSIDER: What advice would you pass on to other clubs facing North Ballarat?

TYSON: Play fast flowing footy with plenty of outside run.

INSIDER: Sunbury has kicked more than 5 goals just twice in their last six meetings against Melton (2-4). Any chance we could see you moved to the forward line if the pattern continues?

TYSON: I'll be in his ear if required!

INSIDER: In a freakish sense, which player at the club can do things on-field that others can't?

TYSON: James Cree - can play short, tall, lightning speed, strong - (he plays on the freaks!)

INSIDER: Who would you have at the club kicking for goal to win you a game after the siren?

TYSON: Out: Alec Goodsen (lost his touch) - In: Leigh Brennan 

INSIDER: Who at the club is most likely to take Mark of the Year?

INSIDER: Who is the last person you would want to share a room with on a footy trip?

TYSON: Callum Lever or Tom Werner (absolute pests especially after a few beers!)

INSIDER: If you had to cook for the whole club what would be your signature dish of approval?

TYSON: Steak sandwich

INSIDER: Who at the club would most likely win a million dollars on a quiz show?

TYSON: Tom Werner (no brains but elite quizzer)

INSIDER: Who at the club would most likely be fined for driving too slow down the highway?

TYSON: Nathan Doyle (sleeps with the light on!)

INSIDER: Favourite AFL club and player?
