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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
