On the assumption we will hopefully have a shake up of some coaching staff, this guy has seemingly done good things at the Hawks and would be a big upgrade on our current skills coach. Is he in charge of their forward line?

    He’s probably still of more value IN the forward line right now.

    I would love to see this happen.  Get Yze in as a specialist kicking coach and Brad Green as Forward Line coach.  Green was always very smart about his movement and getting out on hard leads.  I have no doubt he could teach our current forwards how to work together and lead properly while Yze taught our mids how to hit them on the chest.

    There is nothing "dumb" about this thread? Its a good idea. Couldnt do much worse than our current lot. Doubt Hawthorn would let him go atm though.

    Any chance we could get a new marking coach?

    Would be great, every role at hawthorn that area has improved, goal kicking, development (credited for improving disposal skills and gameplan) and backline.

    Fully agree McQueen, could do with his forward skill and nous at the moment.

    From an ancient (2014) article at Hawthorn

    " Yze played a key role in harnessing the Hawthorn players' elite kicking skills as they developed into the AFL's deadliest team in front of goal over the past two seasons. Since 2010, the team's accuracy has soared from 48 per cent to 57.1 per cent. "

    Of course, that could just be because Buddy left at the end of 2013 :D :D

    Ooh, actually, I stand corrected, even Franklin had dramatically improved his accuracy by the time he left. Oh, we've just got to get Yze in.

    this isn't really a comment on Yze - but surely he is not the only one with 'intellectual property' on how to kick to team mates or kick for goal accurately?

    With Jennings leaving, surely there must be room for a concerted campaign to make this happen. I’ve been told by posters here that his departure from the club was sour, but I haven’t been able to find any conformation on this. He spoke to the press in the lead up to the final against the Hawks (ahhhh, those were the days), and seemed genuinely pleased to see the team doing so well. 

    Our third-highest in games played, all-Australian and one of the most effective assistant coaches in the league in terms of improved skills (especially goal-kicking). 

    Make it happen!

    I am usually not a fan of past players filling football department roles, and the MFC has an atrocious record as an "old boys club".

    But from everything we can glean from footy on TV and the broader media, Yze is simply very good at what he does. So let's go and get him.

  • Quote

    Can we use him as a player/coach. His disposal and goal sense is far superior to anything we have in the forward line at present

  • Quote

    In addition to the romance of having Yze back, he comes from a long time in the Hawthorn system which is a big plus - and it looks like he has, in the words of Jack Dyer, coaching perspirations so could be a good fit.

    The MFC should be on the phone right now to the ooze. Enough water has gone under the bridge

    Can you shed any light on what went down between him and the club when he departed?

    Pretty sure he wanted another year Mel, i am not sure. But i know he and Bruce were far from happy

  • Quote

    Anyone have any idea on his contract status?

    After a few seasons as line coach, this is his first season in the new role of Head of Match Day Strategy and Opposition.

    Agreed. Time to bring our best and brightest home. Agree no ‘old boys’ but he is clearly talented. We need all the help we can get

    • PREGAME: Essendon

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
