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

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.

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

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
