Disagree.

Yze was a fantastic hardworking highly skilled player with a good dose of courage. He throughly deserved his AA in 2002.

Then he changed.

Having said that, I don't think he has the interest to change back.

Well said Fan.

I dont see him changing and on the basis see him as a fringe AFL player next year. I hope he does better than that. I was hoping that for the past 3 years from Yze and have been disappointed with his output.

    I don't think you're right.

    Awhile back, I had a flip through one of those AFL liftouts with team lists and a brief profile of all players at each Club. It listed the delistings from the previous year, and from memory the average was ~4.

    I'm not sure how you can say that bringing in nine players is not out of the ordinary, and I can't see it happening. Seven would be huge.

    yeah, the mass cleanout at carlton in (04?) worked really well didn't it........

    ooze is contracted and untradable....of course the..&%$@! ( wonderful player ) will stay !!

    Will in all likely hood play most in Zebby colours and see out year like Hollywood Bizzel did this year.

    Great waste of money...Well done MFC :huh:

    Its an easy bit of carping.

    When both players were re signed, it was three years for both or they would have gone to the PSD and the Club gets nothing for them.

    I would have let Bizzell go back then. Yze has been questionable over the past 2 years and possibly would have let him go then.

    But thats just me and its easy to makes those calls unaccountable of the issues in the inner sanctum.

    If we dispense with Pickett (rumoured $300k p.a.) and Bizzell (rumoured $250k p.a.) at year end then I think we use that money better.

    I highly doubt they will get that much if we re-sign them. They are not stupid, no they are not worth those salaries.

    Bizzel will except very low money for another go around IMO.

    They are on those salaries now in 2007. Neither are certainly worth it. Both should be gone next year.

    Both will be much cheaper next year and can be used as depth.

    They will not be on that much if they come back then they are good enough for depth.

    You can justify they aren't worth that much cause they aren't and if they were on that much for a year or 2 more then you would be doing anything to get rid of them. However they will not be on that much NEXT year. It's totally different when its a much lower number.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
