North Melbourne legend Brent Harvey thinks Melbourne midfielder Dom Tyson has to start exploring other clubs.

Traded from GWS in the 2013 off season, Tyson has managed to play 77 games in the four years he has been at the club, but has only managed just eight appearances in 2018.

Tyson is one of four omissions for the Demons' trip to Darwin to play the Dockers. Boomer believes that the time might be now to start talking to other clubs.

“Dom Tyson is out again, which is very interesting as well,” he told SEN Afternoons on Friday.

“He might have to look around, I reckon.”

Third year player Sam Weideman has also been omitted from Saturday's clash. Trying to live in his grandads footsteps, (Collingwood Premiership Captain Murray Weideman), Weideman has only managed to play 15 games whilst being at the Dees, but Boomer believes he is something for the future.

"I’m not sure if he’s out of contract, but he’d certainly be appealing,” he said.

“Any high-end draft pick three years ago has done their development and is ready to go.

“Sam’s been at the Dees for three years now, he was a pretty high draft pick, and probably hasn’t fulfilled his potential.

"I know he’s had some injuries and he’s not getting a game for other reasons.

“I’m not sure the Demons would be keen to let him go.”

Melbourne face Fremantle at TIO Stadium on Saturday night, with Clayton Oliver expected to play his 50th game for the club.
