Interesting reading: Spurred into action: How Clarko's US trip may have won Hawks a flag

Good to see a former Demon making an impact. Would welcome the Ooze back at the Dees any day.

Clarkson's other innovation in 2013 was the appointment of former Melbourne forward Adem Yze as an assistant coach whose brief was to work with the players on their set shot kicking. While at the Spurs, Clarkson learned that they have a full-time coach whose sole job is to work with the players on their free-throw shooting.

    Yze brief isn't only goal kicking coach.

    He's a very involved runner on match day, which I consider cheating but is within the rules and good luck to him.

    Andrew Nichol did it for us this yesr but even that we couldnt even cheat our way through any game.

    Loved to watch him as a player.

    Pity he with the Hawkes but hope its not long term.

    How is it possibly considered a big innovation to have a goal-kicking coach? Isn't the "point" of the game to kick accurately?

    What other clubs have ever had a fulltime assistant coach whose role revolves completely around set shots for goal?

    It's a very specific task, and I'm surprised they devote so much time to it.

    It doesn't go into a lot of detail, but if it involves videoing and frequently critically analysing the kicking form of each player, I gather its a role that delves into a lot more detail than anyone would expect.

    You're surprised the most important skill in the game finally gets the attention it deserves? Okay then.

    Nope.

    I just don't think they would go to that level of detail, or that them having gone to that level of detail is necessarily beneficial.

    But it's not kicking, or all shots at goal - it is supposedly specifically for set shots at goal.

    To say that it deserves that level of attention is subjective.

    So the Hawks consider goal kicking practice and accountability is innovation? Give me a break. Coaches have been doing this for years. The point is that systematic goal kicking practice works and every team should do it as a matter of course. And MFC should move Heaven and Earth to get Yze on board if his influence has been this immediate.

    Ironically , Ooze , and sometimes even Braddles, seemed to get the yips when goal shooting in their last years.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
