Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

    Posting unsubstantiated rumours on this website is strictly forbidden.

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

    Our moderating team are all volunteers & cannot moderate the forum 24/7 & as a consequence problematic content that contravenes our rules & standards may go unnoticed for some time before it can be removed.

    We reserve the right to delete posts that offend against our above policy & indeed, to ban posters who are repeat offenders or who breach our code of conduct.

    WE HAVE BUILT A FANTASTIC ONLINE COMMUNITY AT DEMONLAND OVER THE PAST 23 YEARS & WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE CLUB WE LOVE & ARE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT.

    Thank you for your continued support & understanding. Go Dees.


No room for Yze in round 1?


Yze_Magic

Recommended Posts

Adem Yze's pre-season form has been even worse than pathetic.

Surely his consecutive game streak is now over? There is no way Daniher can justify selecting him for round 1 vs the Saints.

Bate, Jones, CJ and Bell will all definitely play.

There is no room for Yze. I wouldn't even have him as an emergency.

How can you 'hate' anyone who plays for you club? Hate is a very strong word, and to use it against our captain, and games/goals record holder, is really quite disrespectful.

Also, I doubt Daniher really cares how you, or any of the supporters feel about Yze. If he did, Yze would have been dropped, maybe even traded, years ago.

I really do not see a reason to play Yze in Round 1. St. Kilda is not a weak side, so there is no chance he'll rock up with a lazy 5 goal performance against an average team :rolleyes: .

There are plenty of young guys dying for a well-earned opportunity to play senior footy, and going on pre-season form, Yze hasn't earnt a spot.

If we're going to be a strong, unrelenting side in 2007, we must start by being ruthless in our own backyard. Dropping Yze is my last hope of waking him up... nothing else has helped, and he is well and truly out of chances this time around. The most frustrating thing for me, is that the team has made a conscious effort to improve their mental strength, hunger and willingness to get the ball in 2006, and everyone but Yze changed their game even in the smallest of ways (you only need to look at Green for evidence). I don't get why Yze should have a different set of team rules to follow. He is not above the team, and for me, he doesn't make the team either.

I'd like to second that. Occo, you are NOT a fan of MFC if you can criticise DN in the way you have. You've been at it for months now, take your snide little comments, and indulgent teenage opinions, leave, and never come back. You are not contributing to this site. Run along...

As for Ooze, I've been a vocal supporter of his for a long time, and it's been getting harder and harder. Unless he's BOG next week, ND is going to look a fool if he selects him. It would most likely [censored] off Adem, but it will send a good message to players like Buckley, CJ and other who would most likely be denied a spot if Ooze got a game. That is, we're more serious about trying to win a flag than a player's conecutive games record. I've a feeling a similar thing is happening with Byron. If they give him the first few rounds of the season in the reserves to get fit, then we won't have to carry him during the season proper. Media will have a field day if he misses matches, but again it'll send the right message to the playing group. Train and work hard, and you'll get selected. Rest on your laurels as a consequence of having a good reputation and see you later.

It's pretty simple really, the upside to dropping Yze for round 1 far outweighs the downside. It'll be interesting to see if Neale has the guts to do what is necessary, assuming AY plays similarly next week.

I am certainly no apologist for Yze, but you've picked three blokes in Pickett, Ward and Robbo that would in my view would fall into the same category.

And Holland can play CHB so well cant he. Jesus

Look i dont like Neitz because i think he doesent derserve being our club champion. Its a personal thing. Australia are a democracy. I love the MFC, hence my room filled with their items, my phone being MFC ringtone, pledging money for every win etc. I think its good not to like some players and at least im honest. There are some peoiple on here who have said they hate miller but all u can do is focus on me. I dont like Miller. I dont like Yze and i dont like Neitz. Although i dont like Neita, he is vital to out team, hence in my best team. Without him we would be stuffed. However I dont think he deserves to be our leading game player. I like every other player and I can say a number of positive things about the team - however its a little hard when we have been pretenders and at least im telling the truth...somthing many of u would be thinking. If u want to persercute me for my feelings or opinions then do so but we are in a democracy. I love the MFC....even though i havnt been a supporter for long as i hated any sport before 2001. I also support the hawks and lions...if that makes me a bad sport then so be it. Melbourne will always be my favourite team however their will often be players i dont respect. Remember im not the only person who hates one of our players. Just read the Miller trates if u must or the Nick Smith.

I don't know why I'm bothering, but here goes...

You say Neitz doesn't deserve to be our leading game player, but what does that even mean?

He's played the most games for the MFC, hence he holds the record, hence he deserves it. You say he is vital to our team, thereby proving that he deserves to get a game each week. This is how he earnt himself the title you realise. It's a very straight forward thing.

Everyone has their favourites and their least favourites, it's only natural, but your reasoning for not respecting Neitz doesn't make any sense. :wacko:

I met you at a footy function last year....thought you were a "normal" supporter until you cracked it and left because we got beaten. Don;t like your comments about our leader and other team mates.......maybe you should go and follow either the Hawks (seeing you like them ) or better still another code, soccer/ rugby, who cares ......... but not footy !!!!!! and especially not the MIGHTY DEMONS

How dare u say that. Every supperter in the building got angry with our performance. At least i wasnt one of the guys who smashed into the bathroom. Im being honest and giving my personal opinion. I never signed a contract on here saying i would be 100% behind each player. I speak my mind. U dont have to agree with what i say. For all i care u can think im an idiot...which u do. I can speak my mind. Im a dees supporter and if u dont want me to be then thats ur issue not mine. I am NOT someone who is going to lie and not speak my mind. As said, many supporters were angry with our perfoirmance...many choose to go out for a smoke...others chose to go to the betting area...others chose to smash the bathroom door and I left the group and sat on my own which is how i deal with a dismal performance which was shown. And how do u classify "normal"...someone who goes and bets money when we loose...someone who smokes fags. Give it a break. Im not going to appoligise. I dont like neitz and i have expressed why. I didnt expect people to agree with me but as i said ITS A DEMOCRACY and a chat room. Y is there a need for a room like this if we cant expose our feelings or opinions.

I follow the hawks very slightly and Brissy as i grew up in Brisbane. I made a decision to follow the Dees and will continue to follow them. Im not the only person who has issues with our players (ie Miller trates....look at any).

So have issues with what i say but its a democracy. Whos to tell me whats normal and whats not. Thats all I have to say...i dont expect u to change ur mind but i guess thats ur problem at the end of the day. I suggest u go and live in Iraq or Iran...where we would all have to agree with whatever u say hey.

Getting back onto the Yze topic .... based on his current form, and his form from last season, there is absolutely no way he is deserving a spot in the team. I would have Dunn, C. Johnson, Bell, Jones & Bate all ahead of him at this stage. No doubt, at his best he is a match winner, but at his worst ... he is wasting a spot in the team. Unfortunately, the days where he becomes a match winner seem to be behind him.

if yze doesnt line up for our round 1 team , i wont be rocking up to the game.

CJ, Dunn, bell?

no chance

jones has proven his worth but i cant see him takin yzes spot tho i wont be surprised if he is included in the team.

ur additude towards Yze is just as bad as u think his additude towards football is.

u are all pathedic if u think he doesnt deserve a spot in our team.

he has proved himself on many occasions. he is a veteran an he will deliver.

just like id never like to see neitz dropped from our side id never like to see Yze dropped from our side. HE Has been a Captain of the MFC. does he really have to prove him self in a pre season game tho honestly? lets see the first few rounds shall we.

OCCO u are dead wrong buddy if u come on here and try to insult our captain, u are going to cop it back... everyony has the right to an opinion but in ur case u should be smart enough to keep it to ur self.

the person that started this thread loved him enough to have his screen name after him.

how quickly people can get of the bandwagon.

Im not going to appoligise as i said. Its a democracy...therefor u all have the right to bag me too and think im an idiot. I respect that. Im just stating my opinion and ill stick by that. Im not a fan of neitz and i know 4 other mates of mine...3 of which are in their 40's and MCC members who hate him 2 hence im not the only one. Thoes who have an issue with it thats fine....i respect that and remember its a chat site. U will come across people who u dont agree with. Get over it....and look at the more important things. I cant see how me commenting on Neita is any different than thoes who bag Yze or Miller but im too tired to go into that.

Occo can you not put Neita and Miller on a same breath (even yze), please you're embarrassing yourself... trust me its totally and utterly different.

If you've watched the Dees since 2001 then you should know that many of the captain's performances speak for itself.

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.

    OOZEE by The Oracle

    There’s a touch of irony in the fact that Adem Yze played his first game for Melbourne in Round 13, 1995 against the club he now coaches. For that game, he wore the number 44 guernsey and got six touches in a game the team won by 11 points.  The man whose first name was often misspelled, soon changed to the number 13 and it turned out lucky for him. He became a highly revered Demon with a record of 271 games during which his presence was acknowledged by the fans with the chant of “Oozee” wh
