Yze, whose title is technically 'senior assistant', will be in charge of the midfield in 2021 apparently.

Voss sounds quite content at Port. Gives the impression his next move will be for a senior coach position. Pity. I was hoping he would join our coaching set-up.

Voss was spoken to by a contingent of Demon people, who met him personally, he respectfully declined joining us at this stage. 
The Club has been Flat out since Round 17 finished

Thanks for sharing LN.

God i hope he can work out the midfield/forward connection now and be ready for next season. I dont want to hear we still have this problem during next seasons games or it will drive me FURTHER nuts than i am already. 18 months of not fixing the problem is long enough FFS.

Good. Hopefully he puts a couple of players who played like him in the midfield mix. Ie. Players who can receive handballs and kick

Interesting.   He should take Salem under his wing.... always thought he had the potential to be as good as Ooze but for some reason he has stagnated.

Lets see what he can do with the excess big mids in Harmes and Brayshaw.

Good move with Ooze mids have a blank  book when starting and go from there .

Salem nit harsh actually though he raised the bar this lady half if season. Seemed more urgent and wanted to run harder and move the ball much Quicker 

Very happy If he continues this way but Harmes and Brayshaw need a new teacher and Ooze could be a master stroke.

Dean Solmoman. 

Hated him as a player for Essendon but have heard great things and would love him as an assistant. 

Hope we've asked the question.

Amen to that, from what I've been told really loved by players who he has worked with.

By all accounts very adaptable to the targeted player he is conveying the message to in order to get the best out of them

The wisdom of "Solmoman"?

i think his business interests in seq will keep him up there; like leppitsch, he's another highly regarded assistant who is 'taking a break' from the hurly-burley of it all

I thought he was made redundant. if so, should be getable.

Salem has the potential to be kicking a lot of goals and being a serious weapon for us, just as Yze was.

I haven't been impressed with the calibre of assistant coaches at this club. I think having top notch assistants will help us be a destination club. 

I get that big successful names doesn't necessarily translate into them automatically being great coaches but it sure helps sell the club. 

The names of some of our current and past assistants doesn't inspire confidence to outsiders.

Anyone got a list of all the clubs and their assistants? Yeah I could Google but hey it's a public holiday and I'm not supposed to work today.

I agree but he needs to be playing on wing or in the middle for that to occur. I can't see them playing him there and not many opportunities to kick goals off half back or in the back pocket. 

Yze never played in Salem's position.

Expecting a very different looking coaching panel in 2021 

I just hope the North senior job doesn't hold us up too much.

Rather cryptic, no?

More just that it's unlikely assistants will commit to roles at other clubs if there's a senior position at stake.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

  • CASEY: Footscray

    At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
