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.

2 Port Adelaide Josh Carr (Fremantle)

3 Essendon

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.

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.

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

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.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
