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.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
