Hey guys i havnt posted in ages but i am real concerned about Yze's role as a cheap sweeper across half back where his influence will have no effect on the result.....

surely peoples memories arent that bad i think start of 05 or 06 when we were red hot Yze was snagging 4 goals a game as our permanent forward pocket.... get him back to this position immediatly full time as it might just extend his career by a year or two and he can actually win us games up there as Neitz clearly can't do it all anymore.....

it seems such a simple solution to me......

Agree wholeheartedly.

Yze's career will go down the toilet extremely quickly unless Bailey puts him forward, which I'm not sure he'll do at the start of this season.

Yze played both back and deep forward today.

His foot skills were absolutely terrible.

I lost count how many times Yze turned over the ball with poor kicks under no pressure whatsoever.

Yze is finished IMO on todays performance.

Yze in the backline = goals against and his opponent running wild.

Yze forward could mean a few goals, but defiantly = his opponent rebounding plenty of football whilst Yze stands by and usually watched Davey chase his man.

Yze isn't forward because he has a very reserved personality. He prefers to keep things to himself than be 'in your face'.

People who are forward often get themsevles in trouble, or at the very least end up offending someone.

I hope I have answered your question demon_fanatic

I hope Bailey creates a mismatch and sticks him in the foward pocket in round 1 with Cambell Brown out. Hopefully he can snag 2 or 3 thats our only hope. On todays and all the other pre season games he's finished. His disposal (his only strength) has deserted him and he can't lay a tackle to save himself.

Yeah I think the rest of his career belongs up forward. He might only get 10 touches a game but if he kicks a couple of goals and frees Davey up the ground more he can be useful. Neitz Robertson Newton get the first three defenders, Yze will get the fourth or fifth defender - he could routinely make a meal of them.

Can we afford to play 4 forwards who lack defensive intensity? Neitz and Newton are physically incapable, whilst Yze and Robertson refuse to tackle and chase. If Neitz is to play FF, then either Robertson or Newton miss out.

Rather than Yze, I'd prefer to see Sylvia played as a forward pocket, with an occasional run in the midfield.

Why isn't Yze forward?

Why isn't Yze gone is more to the point.

Enough sentimentality and 'oh wasn't he good' tripe.

It's about the team or we're treading water for another 44 years.

touche...touche touche !!! :lol:

Its all a big ploy where DB is playing people out of position for most of the game (or all of the game) so that we don't look like world beaters, but come round one look out, or maybe come round six we'll reveal our true skills or possibly round ten..............

It seems the oooozzzzz could be the new one to take over from ward and godfrey and BIG AL as the new one to be picked on here.

I suppose we have to have one or 2 or 3 etc etc.

Mate people have been picking on him for the last 2-4 YEARS and with very good reason.

Finished!

Indeed, why stop at three. Lately Holland, Miller, PJ, Yze, Green, CJ, Jamar, White, Neitz, Robbo, Bode and Warnock have all had their critics. Have I left anyone out? This group remains to be whittled down to a convenient hardcore as the respective seasonal performances unfold. Actually I see there's a natural hardcore set emerging from the Leadership Group.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
