The kid was 17 years old. I started having misgivings about him then and there but he still turned out a very, very good player. Could he have been a great if he had his head in the “right” place all of the time? I’m not sure because that was TJ - a bit of a larrikan who could never be tamed. Talent to burn ... with a thrill-seeker's outlook ... there was more to him than mere football, I guess. A man of diversified interests? 1 Quote

His running impressed me and so did his tackling. I would have liked to have seen him kick the sealer instead of pass it off to Billings, but showed great aweness. Went too hard at times to give away some free kicks, but seemed a little better than the Casey listed players debuts I remember. I can see us rooking him, but not national draft. And probably think a Fritch or Jefferson level of development. Would need a couple of years. Good summary I’d like to see home play for Casey a few more times as I think his output will improve with more game time at that level and a better understanding of his teammates and game plan Looks physically up to it which is quite impressive for a lad of that age 2 Quote
JJJ 1,348 Posted July 15, 2024 Posted July 15, 2024 JT is on record as saying that they like his attitude and power. Hopefully he can play a couple more games with Casey to show some other skills. I think he is relatively underexposed which is odd given his heritage. He used to tell people he liked soccer more than AFL which is not unusual for sons of guns. I went to school with Kevin Bartlett’s kid and he always said that he barracked for Brisbane and preferred tennis and cricket to AFL. 1 Quote
Demon Jack 7,202 Posted July 15, 2024 Posted July 15, 2024 I think it bodes well for his f/s draft chances if he's been given a run at Casey. If I can recall, we gave Kynan Brown a few weeks in the reserves last year as well. 1 1 Quote
whatwhat say what 23,895 Posted July 15, 2024 Posted July 15, 2024 caveat this that i watched the casey game via the stream... good size good running patterns good positioning to impact the play excellent defensive intent and tackling technique / aggressiveness needs refinement hard to judge skills with minimal possessions, but game awareness to make smart decisions seemed to be there lots to like, can definitely see him in #29 next year as a dees player 3 2 Quote

I gather he's more likely to play with GCS VFL team given he's up there, but interested to know if he has a choice 2 Quote

Like you, I think he's a keeper. How good would it be to have Viney, Brown, Woewoden, Yze and White all in the same team? 4 7 Quote
Whispering_Jack 31,381 Posted August 11, 2024 Posted August 11, 2024 From a Herald Sun online report on an APS v AGS game played at Caulfield Grammar School featuring a number of high profile potential players including “Noah Yze (Caulfield) Yze imposed himself on the contest in the first quarter with three marks that set up two goals. One was an intercept mark that led to a goal assist to teammate Charlie Rowe and another saw him slot through a major for himself from range. The 190cm Yze is linked to Melbourne through his father Adem, and has already played two games at VFL level, kicking a goal in one of those and laying seven tackles.” 7 5 1 Quote
manny100 1,626 Posted August 18, 2024 Posted August 18, 2024 Round 14 Coates, Oakleigh Chargers , Round 14, 2024 Scouting Notes: 2024 Coates Talent League - Round 14 - Aussie Rules Rookie Me Central Noah has improved as the season has progressed leading to a couple of games at Casey where he did well. We will pick him up for sure. He looks like he will adapt to a strong defensive forward role like ANB. 7 tackles in his 2nd game at Casey. Lets hope he slips through. #15 Noah Yze Defender/Midfielder | 190cm | 12/04/2006 Stats: 23 disposals, 4 tackles, 6 inside 50s A prospect of intrigue to Melbourne fans as a father-son this year, Yze produced arguably his best game to date. The versatile 190cm prospect started in defence and was then thrown into midfield as a good size matchup for the likes of Josh Smillie and Oliver Greeves. His strength was evident when tackling, while also absorbing contact well and looking quite comfortable in the clinches. Overall, he performed solidly in both roles and held his own against handy opposition. 3 2 Quote
whatwhat say what 23,895 Posted August 18, 2024 Posted August 18, 2024 did he play for oakleigh today? Quote
stinga 632 Posted August 18, 2024 Posted August 18, 2024 (edited) A big bodied midfielder we can build a midfield around if he gets enough of the ball 190cm at 17yrs will probably increase as well. Will be interesting to see what his running capacity is in agility and time trial. Edited August 18, 2024 by stinga 1 Quote

Witnessed first hand when he kicked I think 18 for Ardmona. Every where Damien played it was guaranteed he would kick 100 in a season. One of the biggest freaks I've seen alongside a bloke called Saad Saad. Used to watch him at northcote park. He was a freak. Quote
