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.

    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.
