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.

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.

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 .

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.

    GIANT HEADACHE by Whispering Jack

    The crack in the captain’s ankle might be very small but the repercussions of the injury are enormous. The aftershock of the news that Max Gawn will sit on the sidelines for the next two or three weeks has provided Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin with a giant headache, not unlike the one he faced after the Kings Birthday when another Demon superstar Christian Petracca suffered his season-ending injury. That headache is magnified by the fact that Goodwin is facing a month of tough encounters a

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b
