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

    All positions that have been vacated, have now been filled. The names will be released in good time.

    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.

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
