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

Along with “Chuckles” Connolly and “Whiteboard” Schwabby, both Dees old boys.

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.

 

Who’s ur source Lord? How do we know it’s correct information ?????

 

 

 

Ha ha ha Only joking would be good to get him back to the club. 

Thanks for sharing the info. 

 

Would absolutely love this to happen!

That's super

Good chat


Tried to write Yze but my spell check said YES!

That settles it. 

Yze first started at the Hawks as goal kicking coach and worked his way up to his current role which is head of match day strategy and opposition. Regardless of who he played for, Yze is exactly what we need, the Hawks are coached extremely well. 

He was always super competitive and has been working in a winning culture, so it's a big YES from me.

 

Would be a massive upgrade on anything remotely resembling a forwards/strategy/specialist assistant we’ve had in eons. 

I would love it to happen but skepticism is tempering my expectations.

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. 

Don't let your bias get in the way of a good coach, the hawks are regarded as the best team to work out the game plan of great sides and beat them, examples coming top 4 last year with a  ordinary list and also beating West Coast at their own home, West Coast  are at the top of the game at the moment. Adam was one of the best kicks ever to play the game,  his kicking into the forward 50  was first class. He started at the hawks as a kicking coach, they have been the best  kicking team in the time he has been there, When he first started there I thought what a great idea hiring a great kick to teach players how to kick, he has done a great job at that, so he has all the coaching  expertise we need kicking and hitting targets up forward, also he will be taking Jennings old job, our game plan fell apart this year.

They have the best kicking skills in the AFL.  A big 'Yes' from me.

If he is to be Strategy Coach, I hope he can do the goal kicking coach thing on the side.  He also had a beautiful kick going i50. 

In fact, he could teach the likes of Oliver, Harmes, Viney, Hunt, Brayshaw a thing or two about kicking.  Yze was blessed with natural balance which can't really be learnt.  But I'm a firm believer that poise and composure can be learnt.  From that comes better decision making.

None of them will kick like Yze but imagine if even half of those guys improved their i50 kicking skills by even 50%.

Not directly related to this thread: 

I hope Goodwin is having a big say in who the new coaches are.  It seems he made 'captain calls' on the current coaching panel.  I just hope we don't go too far the other way. 

Sign off on appointments is required by higher ups but he needs to be 100% sure he can work with them and he can deliver a united and cohesive coaching panel.

They really don't anymore...they did, but not now.

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. 

you mean like when Lyon, Stynes hired Neeld and Craig?

As an aside, I used to work with Yze’s niece. Lovely person.

She was a huge Demons fan and said that her entire family loves the club - I believe this extended to her uncle Adem.

Get this done.

 

No one would play better for us than Oooze when he was within 2 weeks of contract renewal.

Lyon was around for 5 minutes while Jimmy was sick. Don't distort the truth.

The fact that Yze is at Hawthon learning the craft under Clarkson excites me more than the fact that he is a Melbourne man.

  • Demonland changed the title to Adem Yze - Assistant Coach?

There was an article floating around which I read a while ago. It was about Yze’s time as Hawthorn’s goal kicking coach and how we had 5 or 6 different types of kicks. Many of the players spoke highly of Yze and how he turned their kicking around to make them much better kicks. 

Getting him is a must.

Just wonder what Yze would think about it. Apart from Jackson the MFC administration has been very poor. Yze would know ofcourse.

When did Sam McClure talk about this? Stuie posted about this in his Facebook Group but no link was provided.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
