Assistants get the blessing to move on when it is a ‘promotion’ at another club. 

I believe it’s also a universal clause in assistants contract in the AFL.

It sucks.

I am sure you are right. Words and Sweeteners  He is highly regarded, that I do know   

A fine line, hopefully for one more year...

    Correct. If it's a senior gig, they can break the contract. Otherwise a good assistant in contract will be retained. Eg, Dew at Swans

    Is this an educated guess? Have there been more positions vacated that have not been announced and consequently filled? How do you know this?

    So many questions...

    Contracts in the AFL are so easily broken now. It’s no big deal. 

    Going home to help break a 56 year drought is a significant pull. But he decided not too. 

    Fair enough. But I don’t think he will be shattered by it

    It’s not actually so easy when there’s not mutuality (and acceptance) between the parties as to the underlying decision.

    I.e. when one party intends to stick to/enforce the terms of the contract.

    I expect that’s what’s happened here. It’s a real shame.

    Yes I know that. But contracts are broken a lot more now than they used to be. 

    Of course you need 2 parties to agree, to at least some degree to make change. 

    We can wait another 12 months...

    So as i see it the main positions are 2 senior assistants (Rawlings & Jennings). You are saying these have been filled? strange it has not been released, even at the B&F last night. 

    By god i hope they are reputable, innovative, strong, progressive coaches.

    If Yze comes home to the Demons it will be as a Head Coach.

    Seems a big jump to go for a head coach position this year. VERY highly rated of course, but was only what you would consider a 'senior assistant' this year. Going to the Crows in their current state with his limited experience could be a disaster for his coaching career IMO.

    If things go really pear shaped next year (I hope they don't), could Yze go to the Dees.

    Yessssss

    What I meant was that Yze's next role at a club will be as a senior coach. He'll either wait out the senior role at the Hawks or seek it elsewhere. I doubt he will go to another club (even the Dees) as an assistant.

    It looks like whoever takes the Crows job has an uphill battle with all the players jumping ship.

    I wouldn't discount him based on experience.  He's had more experience (7 years in a variety or roles through 3 premierships) than Goodwin when he joined the Demons (4 years at a flaky club) and some other first time coaches.

    If he gets the senior coach at Adelaide they will put a mentor there with him.  Seems to be the go with first time coaches..

    Yze was a part time coach until 2015 though. Backline coach for a couple of years, then strategy coach for 1 year.

    Goodwin was an assistant coach for a few years, then senior assistant, then coach in waiting under Roos.

    Obviously not rating them as the same potential, but Goodwin had far more senior experience when appointed head coach.

    Many bridesmaids never get a gig.  As Rossy says, the ride is worth the fall.

     

    We are a nervous lot, more concerned about what may happen after sticking your neck out.

     

    My advice.  Take the crows job if it comes.

    Nobody has Senior Experience as a Head Coach until they are actually in the chair. That includes Goodwin. He had brilliant training, that many don’t get and we still had to endure 2019. 

    Yze would be primed for his first gig...

    Still hope he can make it back hone in future

    Read the previous posts for context mate, talking about senior experience as in as a senior assistant.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
