Latest news is that Yze wont play again this year. He has been a great player for us, however his last couple of years have been ordinary. Has he played his last game for The Dee's?

    Has a year left on his contract.

    Can't see him pulling the plug early, although it could free up a spot on the veterans list (Whitey can take it), leaving extra room in our salary cap, which would be handy.

    There are far too many others ahead of him in the queue on the way out anyway. I think it will be refreshing for Yze and many of the others to have a different person in control of the club and it all adds up to some exciting times ahead.

    No he should stay for the next year, if he can regain form he is a dangerous player, and a new coach might make him chase and tackle and require him to do these things every game for him to hold his spot.

    I think he's been criticised to much ,i think he led the club in kicks last season. Plus playing while injured is probably why he has been a bit off. He would be very dangerous around the goalsquare, always able to kick a few when he's down there

    I agree, think he's been a pretty good servent to Melbourne and reckon he deserves to go out with a bit of style, not Nicho style. Get him right for next year and he can still have an impact.

    We'll never see the consistency of early 00's again, espec 04, but here's hoping he still has a bit to give.

    well i look forward to seeing more of newton, dunn and frawley the next 9 weeks, three young talls who could become good players. and i hope that buckley and CJ get a bit of a run over the coming weeks. im not sure if garland is ready to step up but he might get another game or two...

    Amen to that Deanox......

    Totally the right decision to pull the pin on Yze, and the others, for the rest of this season.

    But Adem will have to work hard to regain his place next year. He has been a great servant of the club, but the reality if that the end is seriously nigh, and just like everyone else on the list he must now earn his spot in the side, rather than being the automatic selection he was for so many years.

    A new coach could be great, if he can help him to recapture some of the form we know that he is capable of.

    But his absence for the rest of the season is a good thing, in my opinion, given it opens up a (once untouchable) spot for one of those youngsters that we all hope will take us ahead in the years to come (and those pushing to stay). And it will be great to see what they are capable of over the next couple of months.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
