What a champ!

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!
