Yze????? You must be joking . Were you guys even alive when he was playing???? Another flash in the pan loser.

Whoa there big fella, are you calling me a loser?! I don't think I even know you.

Yes, and that Robbie Flower was a real dud too

Agreed. This team has had some great players and yes , Flower and Yze had some great moments but success is judged on premierships in my view and I’m entitled to an opinion.

Yes Aaron was great fun to watch.


Yze was a match winner at his best. His years under Clarkson can only bring valuable insights. Personally I don’t care if we get him or not. Our head coach has a lot to learn and he best get started soon

No premiership since 1964. The players should be ashamed of themselves.

I spoke to Petracca not long ago actually, he said he was ashamed of himself for not winning the 1972 flag.

Sure you are sweetheart.

 

Excited about Yze coming but being an assistant is very different to being the head guy. It’s more of a team manager position these days. 

Hopefully he can assist Goody and the players in being successful next year

Any updates on this? 

Could potentially be another week or two before anything official is announced. Contract details etc are still being sorted out apparently.

I rarely, rarely mute anyone because even cranky or unreliable people can sometimes contribute.

So if it turns out that one day Coq au vin does say anything fun, informative or in any way not just a tent-fart, I'm relying on the community to quote it.  Thanks in advance.

 

Wait... where's the mute button gone?  Did we lose it in the software update?  Noooooo.

Edited by Little Goffy

Getting in true Melbourne people - really good ones from all reports too - is the best result. 

I think Yze would thus have an inherent ruthless edge that the club wants. True investment. 

Hope he pulls his socks up, along with everyone else's.

Stats don’t tell the whole story. How many premierships did we win with him in the team?

Correct, they don’t tell the whole story, but stats do tell a lot of the story. Watching him play and the impact he had tells the rest.

I guess we have had no good players since 64 then, according to your premierships will only make you a good player.

i could list the many, many players from all clubs who are out and out stars that haven’t won a flag, but I guess then they are no good either?

He didn’t win any in seasons he’s been in either. Let’s hope that’s still to come.

I didn’t say Yze was no good. I loved watching him play. His last game with his family in the stands was wonderful.

“Another flash in the pan loser”.... seems pretty clear cut to me.

Nope. I’m just disappointed in all the talented players that we’ve had and no premiership since 1964. That’s what makes them all losers in a sense. It’s a team not an individual event.

Yea, mate, this is an MFC forum. Literally everybody here is disappointed. Doesn’t excuse spouting off with rude hyperbole and it doesn’t give in depth meaning to  grand, sweeping statements. Temperance, fella. 
 

P.S Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooze

OK fair enough. So what’s the answer to all our woes?

One of the all time dumbest arguments I've ever seen.

Yes, you are.

But when your opinion is ridiculous, be prepared to cop flak for it.

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • 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?
