    I just showed my wife some highlights videos of Yze and she quickly noted, "Oh, he is in Fritsch's spot" because of all the close-to-the boundary 40-out beauties Yze was slotting.

    A theory is born - Yze is coming to Melbourne specifically to sort out Fritsch's kicking.

    Worth noting - in his third season Yze kick 9.16, so he knows how to miss and knows how to correct the problem.

    Leppitsch would be a great get but I’m sure wouldn’t be cheap. Yze is highly rated and will have to be renumerated accordingly. Burgess would be on top dollar. Goodwin, Richo, Mahoney and the rest.

    Genuine question. How do we cut costs to fit under the cap and at the same time afford to pay all of the above?

    There are two potential answers to this question. 

    1) having a smaller coaching staff will help bring down overall running costs.

    2) I wouldn't be surprised if the AFL provides greater flexibility to the soft cap for 2021. This would enable us to go after 2 or 3 key assistants, at the same time as cutting superfluous staff and running a leaner machine.

    The AFL needs clubs to perform next year, otherwise membership bases with kick a hole through the balance sheets of clubs and the AFL will have a larger problem on its hands with a new TV deal on the horizon.

    I was told couple of weeks ago that the Club is in advanced discussions with Yze and are being listened to by Leppitsch. 
     

    My source said that Yze is very likely and if Leppitsch decides to continue in Footy, it will be with the Dees. 

    Great news, thanks for the heads up.

    Wasn Leppitsch part of the tigers rise? Yze and Leppa would be huge gets.

    Very exciting.

    I hope Yze never becomes head coach at the MFC, but instead joins another club as head coach AFTER helping Goodwin become a premiership coach

    IE I hope 2021 isn't so much of a  failure that Yze becomes an interim coach. A 2022 finals series is a long way away.

    Apart from the romanticism of being a favourite ex player what is he going to bring?

    Please no guess work or urban myths...

    Can someone tell us his skill set as a coach and if he is the best man for the job?

    I couldn't care less that he is an ex player, one of your favourites.

    I also know he coached at Hawthorn with Clarko...

    What does he bring?

    Solid information please...

    Was credited with vastly improving the Hawks' kicking skills while in charge of that area.

    Worked his way up to being match day/strategy.

    Kicking skills and strategy. Pretty perfect for us.

    While we're on the topic of Leppitsch ... Tiger fans I know credit the Tigers' turnaround to Leppitsch rather than any "road to Damascus" moment by Hardwick.

    I suppose the fact that Hawks refused to let him out of contract last year when we were chasing his hard speaks volumes of how good they think he is. 
    Plenty of top quality coaches have come out of the Hawks camp under Clarkson. I hope Yze can be added to that list. 
     

    He certainly can’t do worse than our current crop.

    Basically, what @Lord Nev said.  From kicking/goalkicking specialist, to versatile line coach, to match day strategy.

    Is a legitimately desirable target.

     

    https://www.hawthornfc.com.au/news/710789/yze-promoted-to-assistant-coach

    "Yze played a key role in harnessing the Hawthorn players' elite kicking skills as they developed into the AFL's deadliest team in front of goal over the past two seasons.  Since 2010, the team's accuracy has soared from 48 per cent to 57.1 per cent."

    https://www.hawthornfc.com.au/news/227910/adem-yze

    "Yze was promoted to Assistant Coach at the end of 2014 after establishing himself as a respected teacher at Hawthorn.  ... After four years as a line coach, Yze shifts into the role of 'Head of Match Day Strategy & Opposition' in 2019."

    Always loved Adem. One of my all-time favourite players. But I missed a bunch of football in the mid-2000s. Curious what prompted his move to the forward-line and if it was accepted by the supporter-base at the time and ultimately considered successful?

    Kent is better than ANB, Spargo, Hannan, Hunt all similar types. 
    Mahoney has produced zero. 

    Would he get a job at one of the top clubs as footy ops / GM ?

    zero chance. 
    get rid of him.

    I imagine he is coming to eat Goodwin’s lunch and more.

    smells a bit like ratten coming in as assistant to richardson last year at the aints; you just knew that if richo didn't deliver the good in the first half of the year ratts would get a go in 2020 and beyond

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
