Can someone please answer why a team with a lack of goal scoring options would not play a proven goal scorer out of the goal square against a team he has torched in the past?

Forget form etc etc, he has kicked bags in the past and without Neitz and Robbo it was only logical he would play there at least at first. To not even try it to me is ludicrous. Does anyone agree?

yeah i can recall a couple of games, including recent queens birthday games where KNEEL down Daniher has put him playing from the square and kicked bags of 4 or 5. either that or put him on the ball if he plays against freo. HFF is stupid position for him to find form cos he aint gonna get the ball.

Yep, exactly right. Throw him in the goal square and make him lead to the ball. He and Green are two players who know how to.

I think a better question is why wasnt Newton playing Full Forward?

Collingwood played 3 rookies Friday night, and won

Yeah, good call. I wanted to see Newton given a go, after all, isn't he supposed to be our answer to the no-Neitz problem that will eventuate either at the end of this year or next.

The answer was that Yze was played deep in the forward line as early as the first quarter. He struggled so he was moved.

The bloke is sadly out of form and has been for about 2 years now.

Some would look at that and make some conclusions. Obviously not everyone.

he struggled so he was moved - from what i saw all of our boys struggled

the bloke is sadly out of form - again all of our boys are out of form

....make some conclusion - with what theyre getting paid if they cant perform then they should leave, i guess its like office work there are those who sit around and look at the internet all day and then there are those who work back to finish off work so everything is up to date and not get paid the extra time, unfortunetly footy only goes for four quarters cant do anymore than that.

2004 final against Essendon.

Without Neitz Yze was great at FF.

Correction.

Holland played injured at FF and did nought and then replaced by Bizzell who did even less. Yze played up the ground. Perfect game for him that day. Two sides playing unaccountable football. Its a pity his game was marred by some offensive clangers.

Totally correct Phoenix. Those thinking Yze was not used properly are clutching at straws. He's not up to it.

sounds like trade bait then to me

Again, on this website stupid people talking nonsense about something they obviously have no idea about. Yze wouldnt be worth a 3rds player running around in the ovens and murray league. He has no trade value at all. Last year people through his name up with godfrey, brown, read etc. Only half useful players can be used as trade bait, you cant just use a spud to fill up the numbers.

And then there are the people that say things like i'll give Green and 3rd round selection for a Judd, Brown, Fevola etc. Some of the stuff people say is absolute rubbish. :angry:

And that's what's in the auld onion bag!

He is the Nick Holland of the Melbourne Football Club - untradeable!

He bent the club over a barrell with a big offer from the men at Sticks FC and since then has produced on the odd occassion.

The thing that is sad is that those silky skills appear to have deserted him - that once deadly left boot is now a liability!

I did not attend Sunday due to prior commitments but was he left one out in the square or did we play three from the square?

I am interested because the number of teams that we play set up this way - isolating players, etc. The number of times this year that a forward has been up against two and maybe three is ridiculous!!

HAHA give me a hit across the mouth if u are all serious Yze should play goal square. The guy is out of sorts, WILL NOT CHASE and if he slips a mark, its ohh poor me im Adam Yze and because i have a games record im going to make everyone else do the work cause im out of it. I dont think u can put Yze anywhere where he will play well. I would place Newton at FF. Everyone keeps saying the kids got something but under ND we will never see it. Again ND will not debut a player and if he does it will be in the wrong possision like most of his matchups. But Yze in goal square, give me a break

haven't seen much of willy but from all reports, they earnt their spot.

I have however seen Sandy n Newton n has not earnt his spot.

Flashes but stupid selfish/glory hog still is a chink.

I'm confident he can put it together but until he becomes a more complete footballer, he's a no atm.

Having a shorter forward line in Yze, Green, (maybe Sylvia) is a better option then Jamar or PJ.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
