Quote from Yze's twitter Pretty sure it's his account.

'Tanking creates a losing culture!! The people behind that decision are the ones that should be sacked!!!'

Yep that's him.

Won't be the first we hear about this.

It will only take one insider to spill the beans and watch the turkey shoot that ensues.

Thats why four of the top 5 teams tanked to get priority picks over the past 5-6 years.

Yeah its him. Disappointed it is, I loved Yze but seems to be a pretty ordinary thing to say at a time like this.

Can't believe Adam Yze, who I loved to watch, is kicking us while we're down. Apalling and bitter. Decisions were made for a reason. If I recall, I don't believe he played under bailey, so he would have no clue.

There's a good team in there somewhere, who just needs standards put in place and non-negiotables by a good coaching group.

Bailey was good for the kids and they liked him, but it's time to get very serious now with the next appointment.


It is very interesting that a past player who actually loves the Club is not allowed to vent his feelings or frustrations, a find that a bit rich on here

How the hell is the MFC going to move forward, if after every decision made by the club. X players and X MFC people, lay the boots in for their own selfish reasons. Come back and help the club YOU [censored]!!!!

Yes its disappointing, but its the culture this club breeds. Ego driven and imploding has been a part of the culture for 50 years. Yze was a big culprit of setitng the softness, down hill skiing mentality during the Daniher era.

 

How did tanking effect Carlton's culture?

Tanking is Carlton's culture!


And winning premierships.

And buying premierships?.... :lol:

And buying premierships?.... :lol:

We would, too - if we could afford them.

Such an apt name for certain people to get their two cents worth in.

"TWITter"

Collingwood tanked.

Collingwood tanked.

Collingwood, Carlton, Hawthorn, West Coast in recent times have all tanked to get priority picks or better draft positions, you can add in St Kilda and the Western Bulldogs as well.


As with everything else Collingwood and Carlton always seem to things better than us. Even tanking.

Bitterness has no place within the walls of the New Demons, it's a poisonous & venomous emotion. see ya.

Agreed. His timing is deplorable. It'd be nice if past players offered up their support, but if they can't or won't do that, have the decency to keep their flaps closed.

That's a fair call Nasher and at this low ebb there's little point in adding to the farcical state of panic but when things settle down a little I think the long term impacts of tanking on our club's culture need to be addressed. We can't compare ourselves to Carlton or other clubs - we took it to new levels. I asked the question some time ago and was ridiculed.

Reprehensible.

They left with a sour taste in the mouth did they?

I had a sour taste in the mouth watching them play.

They can say what they like, but that doesn't mean I cannot judge them on it.

Pathetic.

What a bunch of rubbish - how did we take it to new levels? What we did in 2009 was not worse than what Carlton did in 2007. We did what we had to do in the best interests of the club. For a change we were ruthless and refused to just go along to get along. Anyone who brings this up now or questions it is only to the detriment of the club. It was done, it's what had to be done, now leave it in the past where it belongs.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
