Adem Yze



Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yep i agree

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

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
