Adem Yze one of our all time favourites, Bring It On............!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

What exactly has Mahoney done wrong? Genuine question.

What has he done right? Losing culture bar 1 yr since the Neeld days when he was involved. 
paid overs for Lever, Tomlinson, May, let Frost , Kent etc go. ....

leppitsch on the radio last nite said that he was stepping away from football entirely for the time being

Wouldn't be the first time that has meant coming to the Demons!

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."

Let Frost and Kent go..... oh the horror ??‍♂️
May was close to the best full back in the comp this year and was worth every penny

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: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

  • PREGAME: Hawthorn

    The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
