The best thing about that article was that it sounded like Paul gardner was actually in Melbourne.

Not New York, Mt.Everest, The Steve Irwin, Kokoda Track, etc.etc..

Or the Chelsea Gardener show :D

    But seriously, I think Yze is definately one to look out for this season! :unsure::lol:

    If Yze is heading to retirement within time, perhaps we can groom him for the vacant forward scout position - He'd have a good eye for talent, surely :blink: B) :lol:

    I should have probably mentioned that Yze was playing in the midfield until he got injured.

    I wish him all the best, it's not as if he he hasn't done well in the midfield before and I reckon he has at least one ripping season in him

    From memory, Yze was one of the players that really responded well to a change of coach ten years ago, so I wouldn't mind betting that this year may cause a similar result.

    So in finishing - Keep your eye on the Red and the Blue! :blink::lol:

    .......because in early February every footballer looks soooo good.

    Its hard from scratch matches and training for outside observers to really identify who is going to step up to AFL pressure.

    Nevertheless it is good that every player is putting his best efforts. Thats a positive. And also players previously under an injury cloud being able to participate in the pre season process.

    Yup, ie Chris Johnson in that prac match against the toiges last year...

    Apologies if I missed this - But did Steffan Martin play? If so, how did he go?

    Yes he did. It seems the pressure got to him initially as he was playing at half back for a team that got whacked. He fumbled a few times. He seems pretty raw footy smarts wise but looks good physically. Just a question of time I think.

    Thanks Timmy - Lets hope it does not take too long; particulary with injuries raising their heads a week before the pre-season has begun....

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
