Yze replaces Beveridge as Hawks Backline Coach

Featured Replies

 

Interesting that he's taken on a defensive role. I never really saw that as the best part to his game, then again there were a couple of years where he'd play HBF and use that deadly left foot to release us through the middle.

Good luck Ooze, though I hope you get it terribly wrong when you play the Dees!

 

would love to see ooze back at the club in the near future.

They have a few ex Dees at the Hawks don't they?

Well done to him - He is one ex - Demon that I have care factor zero about and I am not even sure why.

One of the most talented players we have had in the past 15 years but in my opinion cut some crucial corners in delivering consistently.

Nevertheless I wish him well.

And I would only want him back at the Club in a specific role if he is indeed the best person for the role.

I can't understand the headlong rush to have a plethora of ex players back at the club.

EFC has shown it's no surefire recipe for success.

Believe it or not 3 of their main off field personnel (Bruce, Oooze and Chris Fagan) spent a lot of their formative years at Melbourne under one Neale Daniher. I also believe Clarko got his first job after retirement as well under ND as a fitness coach. Fagan especially is rated as one of the best at what he does.

Well, I will say two potentially. I know Fagan is viewed as part of the glue that keeps Hawthorn together and he was Neale's right hand man throughout his tenure.

Agree Colin about Fagan. He is highly regarded at the Hawks and shares in their success.

In respect of Clarkson, was he runner for MFC when his playing days finished?

I am thinking 98-99 years.

I believe Cameron The Bruce is there as a coaching assistant. Also, congratulations to Ooze! Hope to see him or Bruce back at the Dees someday.

I'm with you - I want the best at our club - if they happen to be ex MFc then well and good.

I also think that we get a distorted picture on how good assistants really are - firstly we have little to no insight but secondly how much easier would it be to be the midfield coach at the Hawks compared to the Dees ?

For that reason I really rate Clarkson as a coach as he took an ordinary Hawks and turned them into a powerhouse.

I think you are spot on about assistant coaches and what we know about them on DL.

Despite all the bravado shown, unless you observing things from the inner sanctum you don't know.

Clarkson is certainly a fine coach. He is also backed up by a top notch administration which no MFC coach in the last 20 years or so have had. But I can't help thinking that the Hawks were blessed with early picks in 2001 and 2004 that have set them up so well.

I was going to make the point re their administration. It is so important that all parts of the club are pulling in the same direction ( although Clarkson apparently was on shaky ground for the first couple of years) And 100% right - they got great early picks who either had abundant talent and/or were developed properly.


I loved the Oooze, congratulations..

Loved watching Yze playing football.

Best of luck with the new gig mate.

But I hope we can smash the Hawks next time we play them.

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

  • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

  • REPORT: West Coast

    The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
