Robert Walls delists a few Demons

Featured Replies

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.

  • PREVIEW: Richmond

    A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
