Not a bad interview..... at least Yze is realistic about where his future is..... Unfortunately, it is not with the Melbourne Footy Club..... It is nothing short of a terrible shame that it will end this way (Melbourne & Yze) but we are no longer THAT sort of club!!

We are building an empire, not a retirement home! (no disrespect to anyone)

its true and its sad...but as yze said "we are rebuilding"...its the first time i can think of that the club is openly rebuilding from tehe bottom and up and trying not to accept mediocrity...(not implying yze is mediocre but his time has passed with MFC)

In a wierd way, it is interviews like this that make me so excited about our future.... For the first time in a long time the young kids are getting a solid run in the seniors.... Not since Hawthorn a few years back have I seen such committment to the young fellas.... And look where they are now!! :P

Bring it on!

PS. It hurts me so much to use Hawthorn as an example, due to the fact that I have a pure hatred for everything they stand for! How dare they make me cry at the football when I was young! Damn you Phukenara!!!! :(

Why do i think he has 300 games as his first priority rather than producing team football as per his actions in all 4 games for us this year

anyone else have that cynical view ?

Love reading this bit....

Have the coaches sat you down – to give you some clarity – about what the rest of the season and future holds for you at Melbourne?

'Bails' [Dean Bailey] is adamant you'll get picked on form – he's always said that. He hasn't sat any of us down and said he's not going to pick us anymore. He hasn't even said he's going to play young guys before me, but I just get that feeling from what's happened so far, but he's told me both times I've been dropped that my season is not over and that I've got plenty to offer. The whole list knows you're going to be picked on form, if it warrants it.

I love Yze. Our fowardline is rubbish, surely he can push back in at some stage. IF he doesn't, I wish him all the best elsewhere, he is a legend of this club, and he will not be soon forgotten.

He deserves a farewell game, to not so so would be a disgrace to the great man.

He's entitled to a good future where ever he goes.. hes not entitled to anything else from this supporter :huh:

Thanks mate...happy days......next !!

Surely his form in the VFL has been good enough, Yze can pinch hit in the midfield (where he is a former All Australian), play off a half back and set up defensive rebounds and kick goals from a forward pocket.

I think it is just counter productive to play players like Bartram, Bode and Bell whose form has not warranted a game for MFC.

You pick the team on form. Full stop.

Sub issues like priority draft picks, Yze's salary and "blooding" young players are the reason he is not playing but these just should not be considered.

Basically I like it when Melbourne wins, and that is more likely when Yze is playing!

Good Luck Adem, a 300 game great - you deserve to be.

Probably won't be on the list next year, but he's been a great player for us.

He would be a great depth player to have for a team like the Bulldogs or the Swans, they've had a bit of luck with their mature age recruits. Or Brisbane, another classy forward to get the ball in to Brown and Brayshaw... Maybe Trav can put in a good word. I'd give him a 40-60 chance.

Sadly the problem for is not form or ability its the fact that he is unable to adapt.

Adem look at the tapes of your senior games this year. Every time you get the ball instead of doing the team thing you are trying to snap for goal from any angle or distance.

Footy is like evolution adapt or become extinct.

I feel your pain..............and I too am excited about what the future brings , with a complete list of young guys taking the field with the exceptions of Bruce and Whelan this week.

Incorrect. 300 games is too far away from the Ooze anyway. From what I saw in his 4 games was not what you saw. What I did see though is a player past his prime, with many unusual skill errors (which was not like him), and not being hard enough at the footy.

Adem Yze has been a terrific player for the MFC. Let's remember that of him, and wish him well for post-football. He has been a good ambassador for the club, and will continue to.

The general consensus here is that Adem is past it, and should not play another game.

If this is true, is DB being honest with him telling him selection is based on form?

If Bails does not believe Adem is in MFC's 2009 plans he should tell him now so Adem can make decisions about his future.

This great Demons servant deserves that surely.

Since when can you read "general consensus" as being "Dean Bailey"? The general consensus had written off Garland and Warnock and CJ ......and who have gave them a go against the general consensus.....Dean Bailey. :o

There is no firm evidence that Bails has made that decision nor does he have to do so. Adem is contracted for the rest of the year. There is no reason why this great Demons servant cannot start making decisions about his future now.

At one point he was one of my favourite players and I loved watching him play when he was on song.

He was a very good player for a long period of time for us and let's not just remember the last few years when age has caught up with him. I'd like to see him get a farewell game whether he goes to another club or not, he deserves it.

The simple reality with Adem is he's about to be 31 by seasons end. Thas not the end of the age scale you want to be in a market that values youth and some chance at a number of years service going forward. Adem really can provide neither of that. If he was a superstar who could provide a disproportionate return for time on field then he might pinch hit in a team with top four aspirations. But he's not.

He's now run into a regime who simply wont tolerate anything that doesnt suit its cause. In the past he had a very handy second in his corner by the name of Daniher. He no longer has this luxury.

Adem must know himself his future is outside of this club...and its unlikley to be at this level. I hope he can continue to enjoy his footy.

"" I've tried to have a good attitude at Sandy"" Many of us would have preferred this had been the m/o in earlier years for Melbourne. All in all you cant help but feel some chickens have come home to roost !! ;)

    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.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
