Word is starting to get out now about the Dees chasing Yze, I think to replace Jennings' role in strategy though not 100% sure.

Sam McClure has mentioned it now on SEN, possibly because Hawthorn's year is done and moves can be made.

Very highly rated and has risen through the ranks quite quickly. Would be a fantastic get should it happen.

Let’s hope so , we could also use him for kicking drills at training 

 

AH YESSSSSSSSSSSSS THE SECRET OF THE OOOOOOOOZZZZZEE!


I never considered that Yze would be a good coach for some reason - maybe because I just thought his playing success was based purely on talent.  But his experience under Clarko would be invaluable  and it would be great to see him return home.

yes from me...we need a Melbourne person back in our ranks. Would love Yze. 

I don't care where he's from, so long as he can coach.

I haven't noticed a lot of Hawthorn people in their FD and it hasn't hurt them.

The idea of needing a Melbourne person is a croc...

Hawthorn had Derm and Dunstall running the place when Clarko came on board. That is what distinguishes them. We have barely any Melbourne people involved with the club anymore. Helps with the connection to the club.

It arouses me to read this but didn't Hawthorn recently promote Yze into a strategy role?

I think it was at the end of last season, but not 100% sure. He's been there for 6-7 years and worked his way up.

It's not all locked in yet, but we're pushing apparently.

Make it happen, we need some HFC IP input into next years game plan. 

This would be an epic result.

The mids and the forwards would learn a lot from the Ooze - he was a great ball user, had super skills, and always seemed to have heaps of time. Would love to see him back at the Dees.

Contracts end at 31st of October?

Not sure when the actual contracts end, but there's a stipulation that assistants need to be told whether they're being renewed etc in early August. Would think the Hawks would want to keep him, and they were still in the finals hunt then, so they all might have kept their powder dry a bit.

The ideal candidate to help all our one sided players with their deficiencies....oh wait.

 

You're all going to @ me but I was never a fan.  No right foot, selfish, and worst of all, he wore a glove ?

 

But you can't be an assistant to Clarkson without learning a ton.  Should Yze be hired I'd be happy to be proven wrong. 

How come it takes so long for old players to read the "tea leaves" about the Club that rears them

Not true, we had Stynes and Lyon around when we appointed Neeld.


 

I like the idea of targeting coaches with Clarkson IP. The fact he was one of my favourites is just an added bonus.

Trick or Treat?

Boom tish

Some contacts would be appropriate. 

I personally don't follow American traditions

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • 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.
