Good on him.

I hope this means he got a sniff of interest. Maybe the bombers will give him a run - he was an Essendon kid once upon a time.

And I hope he does well if he gets picked up... but not too well!

I certainly wouldn't be booing him.

    4 Carlton Chris Johnson (Melbourne)

    5 Brisbane Nick Davis (Sydney)

    6 Richmond

    Who would pick him up? No way would Matthew Knights take up a 31 year old.

    I would have thought that Carlton would have been the most likely type, but they will be taking C.J

    Do you think that Richmond think they are close enough to take a chance?

    Of course not. In his last two years he tarnished his reputation somewhat, but he remains a champion of this club.

    Nobody will boo him, but it is a shame that some sportsmen can't just retire gracefully, before they fall so spectacularly from grace.

    you cant boo yze, cos it just sounds like "ooooze" anyway

    haha very good point!

    First time i went to see him play i didn't get the whole 'ooze' chant & was perplexed cos i though he was getting booed.

    Essendon could be a chance. Knights did say that they would be prepared to look at an experienced player with their predominantly young list.

    Agree. A perfect example of a player that does not know when its over.

    I am not sure what value Yze would add to a young list. He wont be a leader down at the Club and on field he does not lead by example.

    If Yze were to be picked up (which seems very unlikely), I would think Brisbane are the more likely fit. Voss reportedly is after an experienced goal-kicking half forward/forward pocket and has (again reportedly) gone cold on Nick Davis.

    From an age perspective, I would say that a 31 year old Yze probably has as much left in the tank as a 28 year old Davis simply due to his professionalism. And he demonstrated that with his attitude (as described by Andy Lovell) when he was with Sandringham.

    There's no doubting Yze's professionalism, and for that reason I'd look at him ahead of Davis if I were another club, but the game's passed him now.

    Personally I think it would be a little undignifying watching him round around the twos all year for some other club, but if he's prepared to deal with that if it happens, then best of luck to him. If I were Yze, I'd be looking for a job and a club in a lower grade to have a kick with.

    Ever heard of the saying "never die wondering". He loves footy, he probably knows he won't be picked up, but at least this gives him closure.

    Well said. Who would have thought that a fat Stewie Dew, who'd been out of football for 12 months, would have the impact that he had.

    I wouldn't be surprised if Brisbane pick him up.

    Best of luck to Ooze, he was a great servant of the MFC and given the right circumstances i think he could make a real contribution to an AFL list.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
