Time NOT up for Yze

Featured Replies

 

He's just rolled out all the same ol' tired stats and stuff. With the right spin we could make a case for Grinter being just a misunderstood shy and retiring soul !!

No ones can dispute he's played a lot of games....... but were they all top quality?..or more the point...to the true potential he gives glimpses.

No one disputes his many posssessions..... but again ask what did he really do with all those disposals. ..certainly not what he COULD have done with them.

He's played every game since Danners got there.... well well isnt that an interesting stat !! because ND has been such a winner !!

Its put up that he was best on ground in R17 last year... so in true Dave Allen logic.... how many games WASN"T he ?? a damn site more.

Youre right ..the times not up for him probably this week.... he's bloody lucky we dont have a full list to pick from...and thats teh only statistic worth keeping in mind going into this weeks game.

The fact that he's likely to play says more about the team than anything to do with his deserving to be in it presently.

He's a lucky boy... he ought to repay it.

Another blunder by ND...how much i hate him

Yze thank god im not coach thats all i can say

see the problem is i cant agree for many reasons,

one in particular

u dudes have the same opinion as Mike Sheahan

now i would run to the nearest bridge if that was the case

and Mike Sheahan knows nothing about football ?

he too is a frustrated Melbourne supporter


Does Matt Burgan follow the Demons?

Last year he wrote THE EXACT SAME ARTICLE when Yze was out of form late in the year. It was titled something ridiculous like 'Yze is still a star' after he hadnt had a kick for 3 weeks

Talk about repetitive journalism

all u have to do is look at his top 50 players every year too answer that question

Umm i dont know where u got your info, because here is a link to Sheahan's top 50 player List as discussed last month and guess what....... YZE is NOT There. So he is no longer in the top 50.

Yze is lucky that we dont have a full list, so i give him one or possibly two more chances and if he does not improve, if i was coach i would drop him.

 

He was far from our worse on Friday Night and therefore must be retained.

I'd be sharpening the axe at blokes like Chris Johnson (yes he had a great NAB series but has yet to show anything in H & A) who ran around like a headless chook and Matty Bate who continued his lacklustre pre-season form last week. CJ looks like the sort of player that is an absolute star in the VFL, but isn't quite up to it in the rigours of a helter-skelter home and away game. I've been saying this for 6 months. I hope he proves me wrong.

We need a win on Monday, and therefore we must play players who are good enough to get us over the line. I think Yze's moment in the sun may arrive this Monday. If I'm wrong then Sandy for the following weekend.

umm no...

proving my point Shehan knows nothin..... Hunter, bowden, Mcpharilin :lol: love his work....


The dilemma over whether to drop Yze or not can be determined by answering the following question - Is there anyone out of the team at present who would be a viable alternative this week . Unfortunately I don't think there is , if we consider Rivers as the logical change for McLean , whilst Sylvia and Pickett are unlikely to be match fit enough to make an impact .and therefore likely to miss .

Does Matt Burgan follow the Demons?

Yep he does.

There's no doubt Yze has been a great player over the years. No one is denying that. The issue has been his performances in the last 3 years.

He will always rack up possessions. But possessions don't tell much of a story. Anyone can run behind a ruckman and get a cheap handball.

I didn't think Yze was our worst on Friday night. But at the same time he isn't doing much to solidify his place in the 22. He probably doesn't deserve to be dropped on that performance, but it's the fact that his performances over the last couple of years have been ordinary that makes him borderline selection.

I think he should play this week. But he's only hanging in there and definitely needs to do more to cement his spot or else he'll be down at Sandy.

the great irony is we wouldnt even really be discussing him in negative tones much if it were'nt for the fact he is a very very good player....when on song.

he's like that straight A kid who doesnt apply himself coz he can just cruise...and still get by.

he getting drinks on past glories at present... and the keg may run dry any minute now !!

How many chances doe Yze get the guy has been woeful since the queens birthday typical MFC drop a young guy and shatter his confidence and keep NDs love child in for another week and tell him he has to perform

We will hear ND say it all year until Yze breaks the 244 game record then we will give him another 3 year contract

@ the start of the season I thought he should be given 2 & no more than 2 H & A games to prove his worth or else be dropped. Well that time is approaching & from where I stand this is it for Yze, lucky last chance YZZ.


with apologies to whomever posted it... the 'matter' is in a way to remove the monkey.. get this record sh!t out of the way !! he doesnt deserve to outplay Stynesy anyways. then he can ( maybe ) go back to what he's actually good at..he CAN play footy..the qulaifier is...whn he wants to....well lets get him 'wanting' to !!

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
