Yze and White Farewells the Demons

[tez 6]

yze and whitey thanks awesome footballers and great careers 2 among many in the great history of the red and blue good luck in whatever you both choose to do.

Hope we all can be there sunday to give these guys our appreciation

Why would we get anything for White when we have already said we don't want him?

thats the whole point mate...getting something for him. otherwise then he can go thro the draft

..........would we rather lose him for nothing or try and get a pick around 40? have a think

Officially he will play his last game for MFC on Saturday. He has dubious future ahead of him in the AFL. So would a another club give pick 40 or prefer to get him in the PSD for nothing? I cant see them lining up to give up draft picks for White in the last tainted draft before GC comes in.

The simple reality is that after Sunday's game neither player has any real effective currency to Melbourne. They can walk into the PSD..and do whatever they like and good luck to both of them. It'll be totaly up to teh football Gods.and we were never going to get anything in return as they cease to be ours. They can do as they please. Its not worth any paper to try to get anything..

we just move on..as simple as that

The only way we'll get anything for White (or Yze if he decides to play on) is if multiple clubs want them. If Carlton and Sydney both wanted Jeff White, Sydney would have to offer something for him or else they'd just lose him to Carlton (who will have a better PSD pick than them). This would cause the Blues to consider offering something better than the Swans are. At least, that's how I understand it.

Yze wore 44 as Shaun Smith Took that HUGE Grab at the Gabba

Correct. 1995.

That will come down to clubs like Carlton and Sydney - if they require his services. If Sydney want him they will have to offer a draft pick. Because Carlton will have a pick before Sydney in the PSD.

Correct. See above.

Incorrect - you cant trade delisted players. Both have indicated they will nominate for the draft!

They are still on our list atm, and will be during trade week.

Cast your mind back less than a year to a similar circumstance with King and others at Geelong.

Right. It's the same deal with Damien Peverill. If a couple of clubs happen to want to pick him up for a year or two, Essendon could still get something for him.

[Guest Colossus_2000]

On the MFC website you can leave a message for Ooze and Whitey, which will go into a book to be presented to them on Sunday. A brilliant idea, assuming one of CC's.

No. Only if they do not get a trade completed- they will nominate for the draft. Still on our list come trade time.

Roger that!

[Roger Mellie 4,018]

Dear dear, I stand corrected. The MFC can token trade to try and find then a home a la Peter Walsh and Stephen King. Now that every AFL club knows they will not be on the list, they are hardly going to offer anything other than circa pick 95 (which we would not use) when they can pick them up for nowt in the PSD!

Ie they have zero trade value.

Having said that - best of luck to both of them!

Hey, it's the internet. Everyone reserves the right to nitpick.

Congratulations to both Yze and White on long and distinguished careers at the MFC. Reading the tribute to Ooze on the MFC website just now, you forget how good a player he was.

An interesting aside, with the retirements of these two, it leaves just one All-Australian representative (one 1 occasion) on our list for next year in Junior. Would any other club boast such a desolate figure?

[gOLLy 401]

Thanks for such great memories. You gave us reason to party after so many games. Two champions of the Red and the Blue.

Congratulations to Both Jeff and Adem on wonderful careers at the Demons......

They were and will always will be legends of our club and have performed admirably for the club over so many years.

I wish them all the best for the future at the same time as thanking them for their past.
