Although I do honestly hope that this wasn't a reaction to current fan bitching.

Of course it was... It was the lead demons story in all the media for the past week and would have continued every time the team showed bad form.

There have been several times previously that the ooze should have been the one droppped...

IMO this was not one of them. I do not have faith in wheatley or godfrey.

If (and I suppose this to be the intention) it succeeds and sends a clear message to all that a place in the Mighty Dees side must be earnt.... then well done.

I would like to congratulate Yze on his run of 226 games... This is an enormous feat, I know that he has played through injury and worked hard to get up each week.

The question is now.... who gets burnt next?

If we lose on Monday, Daniher.

Watch all the previously keen 'drop Yze' supporters turn on their position and blame the loss on Daniher dropping Yze.

If we win, probably Miller :rolleyes:

I see Yze being dropped as a step in the right direction. I fear though that Neale has shut the gate well and truly after the horse has bolted. If we win on Monday, I won't be lauding that it was because Adem wasn't there, if we lose I won't be bitching about the other selections. For me and others there are far deeper issues in relation to not only the game plan, but player attitudes.

Can't help thinking this whole Yze thing has just been one big witch hunt!

"Witch hunt" is a term I think I used here last year to describe the Yze-bashing that has gone on here for some time. It's become popular to slag the bloke off to the point where he has become Melbourne's equivalent of Simon Crawshay, and anyone who disagrees is deemed to be a moron. It has been an impressive snowball effect.

Last week, Yze was poor, very poor. So poor in fact, that he was probably only about our 5th or 6th best player on a night of comical ineptitude. Looking at the ins and outs, I'd say this is one of the poorer week of team losses and gains we've had for quite some time.

If Yze comes back from Sandy a better player then that's great, and I understand that's what a lot of people on here are on about and that's fine. Just don't expect me to join in the Yze-slogathon any time soon. I think his 258 games have earnt him that courtesy from me at the very least.

I wish that brock would break styne's record one day. . . :D

The rate hes going he wont. My worry with Brock is that perhaps hes too tough. I love brock like any other melb supporter and i love how he risks his body for the footy however i would prefer 10 great years out of him instead of 7 years. If he keeps up the rate of his hardness, hes not going to be a 10 year player and althoiugh it would be sad to see the extent of his style cut down, i would perfer he did so he can be a 10 year player for us. Bit of repitition there. Sorry

guys i think what neale said about the side show was justified. by getting rid of the record it gives yze a chance to focus on footy, and on the media being able to focus on how he played, rather than the record. its now no longer innuendo that he was only getting picked for the record. yze is a match winner. one of the few players on the mfc list who has the ability to change the game off his own boot in 15 minutes. he can play as a crumber, or as a strong marker. he can get lots of possesions or kick lots of goals. he is versitile. he will play 20 games for the red and blue this year no doubt, but now the pressure is off we might see him enjoy the footy a bit more. we might see him have a few better games, but importantly the way he plays might be percieved to be a little less selfish. after all, he is no longer playing for his record, he is playing for the team.

yze would have broken the record....

and he would never have been dropped....

it never was about his form..

just about the stigma that surronded him and the record... well done to the media and the fans who bash him week in week out.... u robbed a yze of that record...

the foucus became the record and not Yze.

although i still think neal did the right thing, it was a tuff call and he made it... the issue was getting too much of a big deal...

i hope yze can go on and play his best football. if he doesnt it is will be very sad time... for one for the most popular players at MFC

well Done Yze....u are a champion

as for the person who quoted i wish brock would break the record....

he might break the record for most weeks missed by injury...

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
