Adem Yze

Featured Replies

 

I think this is his last year. He has gained alot of respect this year for his work ethic and his willingness to fight for a spot in the team, but there simply is not a place for him in the best 22 anymore.

A brilliant servant of the club, but the game has unfortuneately passed him by.

yea no that i think about it. he hasnt been at his best in the past few years...

it will an honourable choice to retire at the end f this year...

WELL DONE ADEM YZE!

 

I think he will get one more chance to impress. If he does well he might just get one more year. The ball is in his court though.

even if he does impress he'll be gone at the end of the year...

we need to make room on our list for Aussie, Valenti, 1st rd pick, 2nd rd pick, 3rd rd pick, 4th rd pick, PSD pick and possibly a 1st rd priority pick.

That's at least 7 or 8 players who need to make way. Yze will have to be one of them. The only players who will be gone before him are David Neitz, Isaac Weetra and Ben Holland.


Adem will retire at the end of the year in my opinion.

I think he knows his time hascome.

However i just hope people dont think or remember him for his last few years.

we need to remember him for his forst 8 or so seasons where he was in our best players almost every week.

Where his skill, intelligence and leadership were so valuable.

I certainly was confident whenever he was near the ball when he was in his prime.

Definitely one of our best ever players.

Like the dinosaurs you adapt or become extinct.

Talent wise Yze could play for another 3 years. Unfortunately he seems incapable of adapting his game so he can continue playing.

Against Richmond he just got the ball & snapped for goal regardless of the situation instead of doing the team thing & kicking to advantage.

I thought Bailey had treated him very harshly but unfortunately when he got another chance he kept doing the same dumb things.

Bye bye Adem.

Has been a great player but still wont put his head over the ball. Not a good example for the kids. I hope Yoda is developing a tougher culture and i think he is.

 

With his recent exclusion from the leadership group, i'd say its now more certain than ever that he will call it quits at seasons end.

I agree with the many good points that have been made here already about Yze, so i'll just say, the bottom line is he's not part of the future and it's difficult to imagine DB giving him an extra year, given the lack of game time he's recieved this year.

If he stays fit for the rest of the year and continues pushing for selection at Sandy, i don't see any reason why he couldn't play at least one more game late in the season, as a farewell to the Demon faithful who have watched him for 13 years.

He is a gun, but what good is it for the future of a club is a stalwart holds on to play another 25-30 games? We need to build a list, not only to get members, but to survive.

Love Yze, but the future has to take place now, we do not want to repeat what carlton did, and dwell at the bottom for 6 seasons. 2-3 seasons, then bang, finals! Wont happen if we give games to the nearly departed.

Deserves a better send off than to call it quits a season early, but the club has been good to him, it is his turn to put the club first.

very very good post....

none of the [censored] about him been selfish or finished .... just saying it as it is

Yeah, I think his footy isn't screaming out to keep him in the team. And at this stage if you're in your 30s and you're not playing BRILLIANTLY, even if you're playing WELL, you'll still get dropped. Happened to Jeff White...

The only factor that would mean he'd stay is the behind the scenes stuff. Both DB AND the players couldn't speak more highly of his efforts behind the scenes if they tried...

There may be a push for him to stay on and lead the young kids. And with another year in their young legs I reckon he may be able to frontrun again, and kick a few goals next year.

It depends on DB... Personally I hope the youth policy is persevered with completely. And I hope we see him off in the way he deserves.

And at this stage if you're in your 30s and you're not playing BRILLIANTLY, even if you're playing WELL, you'll still get dropped. Happened to Jeff White...

DB asserted that both White and Jamar were performing at an average or worse level lately, and many other Demonland members will agree.

I think White's one possession in the second half vs Sydney is some evidence of him not playing well.

Was a great servant of the club and glad he played for us and I will love him for every time he more or less killed the filth, but all careers end and his will at years end.

Fully agree, the club will ask him to retire, and I'd I think he will. Even if a club like Sydney show some interest, I get the feeling he would want to remain a one club player.

Yep i agree

Great servant over the years, but will retire gracefully at the end of the year

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
