Debuting in 1995 with the Melbourne, he has been an almost permanent fixture with the club throughout his career. He has remained remarkably consistent in this time, moving from half back to the midfield and in recent years has moved between half forward and half back. Yze led the league in kicks in 2001, 2002 and 2004, while coming third behind Scott Camporeale and Nathan Buckley in 2000.
Yze is a creative forward of Albanian descent and comes from the Victorian country town of Shepparton, being one of the AFL players along with Shaun Hart and Jason Trianidis to hail from Shepparton United Football Club in the Goulburn Valley Football League. His honours as a player include All-Australian selection in 2002, winning the Keith 'Bluey' Truscott Memorial Trophy for Melbourne's Best and Fairest player in 2002, and playing in the 2000 Grand Final against Essendon.
He has now played 250 games, and his chant "Oooooh-Ze" is now becoming very popular every time he receives the ball.
