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.

Yze is now interviewing for the Crows head coach job...

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.

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.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.
