    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.

    There’s a guy in a Facebook group I follow claiming this scoop as his own.  

    Haha there’s always one, which group mate?

    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

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
