Get Adem Yze back to the Dees.

[Dee1987 277]

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?

[McQueen 17,862]

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

[RalphiusMaximus 5,993]

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. 

[Graeme Yeats' Mullet 6,267]

Agree, bring him home

[RalphiusMaximus 5,993]

Actually, I wonder what it would take to get Ratten back as our midfield coach? 

[Dee1987 277]

Anyone know of any top fitness gurus that can rebuild bodies quick and keep bulk of our list on the park.....??

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

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?

Bring  Chris Dawes back ... oh wait... we learned everything he can teach us. 

[scarlett 247]

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.

[Little Goffy 12,489]

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

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.

[Engorged Onion 9,215]

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?

[Mel Bourne 3,594]

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!

Bring him back as a player.

 

[chook fowler 18,164]

Yes please.

[deebug 1,754]

Could we get both Netia and Yze back?

Come home boys you have been missed.

[Maldonboy38 5,807]

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.

[Demon Disciple 10,885]

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

[chook fowler 18,164]

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

[Dee Zephyr 17,296]

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.

[John Crow Batty 8,217]

No more ‘old boys’ please.

[bragswoewodin 17]

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
