Just heard Gaz Lyon on SEN saying there might be another assistant leaving the Hawthorn nest,  he was waiting for confirmation before going with it, but 100% he was talking about Yze... i suspect this is very much in play and hopefully happens sooner rather than late.

This is the Transcript (about an 1hr 16 into the Podcast of the daily show 2/9):

Garry: I'm also hearing there may be another Hawthorn Assistant on the move from Alistair Clarkson's group right now.

Tim: Which one?

Garry: Can't say at the moment because I'm waiting for some confirmation.

Tim: Right

Garry: I wouldn't be surprised if they may lose another one.

Tim: A well known one?

Garry: Clarko's aware of it. He knows that clubs are doing it and they've had great success of it.

Tim: Did this assistant play?

Garry: Been there for awhile.

Tim: Is Adem Yze still there?

Garry: Adem Yze's still there yeah.

Tim: Is it Adem Yze?

Garry: I just said to you did I not?

Tim: What did you say?

Garry: I've got to do a bit more work on it?

Tim: Yeah but then if you say stuff like that then people want to know who it is? And I'm just doing my job for the fans to draw it out of you.

 

I'd love to see Yze AND Brad Green considered by the club.

If it happens cue DLs version of The Life Of Brian's what did the Romans ever do for us sketch: 

'Ok, apart from getting Alan Richardson, Burgess and Yze what did Mahoney ever do for us???'

On Mahoney getting Richardson, i chuckle at the thought of the correlation between the posters bemoaning his appointment on the grounds he was sacked and has an average win loss ratio as senior coach and those who think the Hawks are the gold standard in everything football. You know, the club that just appointed as their Coaching director a sacked senior coach with one of the worst win loss ration in the history of football.

Bingo.


Hope I'm not the only one who would like us to get Ooze more for his ability and experience at Hawthorn under Clarko more than the fact he played for us. If it helps us get him over the line,  great, but IMO once here it would be irrelevant.

You're absolutely right, but it also pained me to know that Hawthorn had Neitz and Yze there at one point when we were battling. It just seemed wrong that after their success they were picking the eyes out of our one-club champions to boost their own chances. Even the angry little man played a couple of years for us.

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...

Don't worry 'Moon', you're not on your own.

A lot have expressed the same and I'm sure it would be of little consideration for the club...

This is the strangest whisper because everyone has heard it but no one seems to be able to confirm it. 

For what it's worth i hope it's true. a bit of red and blue is a good thing, he's a super smart guy and a few years of Hawks knowledge to pass on won't hurt either.

How terribly un-Melbournian, not snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, AND finding targets in a crunch time defending a lead.

Maybe should have shown it to our current mob before the final match of this very forgettable season.

I think everyone would be hoping we’re only appointing quality staff. But c’mon, it doesn’t hurt to have a little romance in the game!

The only romance (football wise) I'm interested in is us winning a flag 'Mel'...the rest holds little interest.

After 45 years of being a Demons supporter, I’ve found it pretty crucial to find other areas of interest besides winning flags.

Same for me (though closer to 65 years). And before someone blames my complacency as a supporter for our lack of flags since '64, I might point out that in all those years I have neither played, coached or administered the club.  And I have no expertise to affect any of that.   What I do or feel has no effect, and nor do I expect it to.

Despite your protestations of innocence Sue, I’ve decided the blame for the Melbourne Demons’ sixty-three-year-long dearth of premiership flags lies squarely on your shoulders.

Fair cop. By way of mitigation, I couldn't microwave my membership card in '65 since they didn't exist then.

Thank goodness. I have been blaming my inconsistent attendance. Although in truth my presence was rarely acknowledged with wins. 


So any news in regards to Use? Or is it a pipe dream all this time..

He’ll definitely be leaving the Hawks this year is what I’ve heard. My Freo contact reckons they’re into him.

If he decides to come to Melbourne, I question his mental state.

Hopefully he'll be thinking with his heart, not his head.

As an aside, is your Freo contact saying that Yze's leaving the Hawks and that Freo are into him, or confirming that we are into him?

My mate told me that Freo are into Yze as he’s leaving the Hawks. I have no if we’re into him but if he is leaving Hawthorn surely we’d at least inquire. 

Look who liked the Goodwin Interview on the Dees Instagram. 

Now it's not unusual for people associated with other teams to like something from an opposition club on social media and he has a history with the club. 

I can't recall seeing him liking anything from the club but having said that I was never looking. 

I'll be positive for once in my Demons supporting career and I'm going to take this as a sign.

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • 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?
