Yesterday I was fortunate enough to be at Bulleen for just about the most amazing 15 minutes of football I am ever likely to see.

Halfway through the last quarter Old Carey was 6 goals down and struggling when Adem Yze pulled the first comeback goal out of the hat – a “goal of the year” snap from the boundary line 35 metres out on the wrong side Of course us Demon supporters have seen No 13 do that many times – and were in familiar territory when “Oooze” went up straight afterwards.

Then the show really started – 30 metres off the ground - right foot snap out of the pack – left foot over the shoulder out of the pack – Oooze! Oooze! Oooze! Oooze! – 4 goals in 5 minutes and Carey was back in the game. 5 minutes later No 13 flew in from the side to take a classic little speccy and convert – Old Carey in front – Oooze!

What made the whole thing sweeter was the team song after the game – “It’s a Grand Old Flag”. No problem with the words..

VAFA Premier League is a pretty fair standard of footy.Junior MacDonald’s stats for Old Xaverians last year weren’t much better than they have been with GWS this year.

How good was Oooze in his prime? How good is he even now?

As "The Age" said this morning,the 400-odd people at Bulleen yesterday will never forget what he can do

    Ahhhh the Ooooozzzzeee!

    I hope most can remember him for how good he was and not the end of his career.

    I loved watching him play.

    Those maggot Pies supporters who were giving it to Jack Watts when Swan kicked that goal on him in the last quarter, should go back and watch the QBD game when the Ooze kicked 5 on Dane Swan in a quarter. Must be close to the last time we have won on QBD as well.

    That was the game that really got me into footy. We were screwed, then Yze went forward and we totally pantsed the Pies from that point on.

    When Yze was on. We usually won.

    Those curling goals from the Northern Stand flank to the Punt Rd end are forever etched.

    He was amazing. Soft as butter, and a bit lazy, and Mark Neeld would cane his arse for being selfish, but man, he had skills!

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
