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.

    No more ‘old boys’ please.

    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

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
