So that we can not win another premiership for another 56 years? Great idea.

 

I think we all need to calm down and accept Coq au vin's point.

Definitely no debate - Steven Armstrong is a better player than Adem Yze and anyone who disagrees needs to be able to demonstrate how they would solve all of the club's problems. 

Clearly we let the wrong player go to the Eagles.

If only we had the foresight to draft Mitch instead of Cale Morton ?

Could potentially be another week or two before anything official is announced. Contract details etc are still being sorted out apparently.

I hope you sources are correct. All sounds positive, but this is very similar to last year when it all looked set to happen and then fell over. I really hope you are right.

Adem Yze being a Melbourne person is one thing, and, probably the least important attribute. 

He would come with strengths and experience that we do not currently possess enough of, most notably;

  • Opposition analysis
  •  kicking coaching and
  • Game day strategy

I couldn't give a rats if he was Tony Antrobus, if someone was available that possessed these attributes, we'd be stupid not to chase him.

He absolutely ticks all the boxes.

On ya, Coq. Well done, mate. Join the book nook with myself and @Moonshadow. Moonie will give you a pair of glasses upon entry.

I presume perhaps he has been removed from the site? He has been rather quiet since his diatribe. And no one, aint no one, who can slag of Yze...:cool:

I don't know heaps of detail tbh, but it seems like last year we tried, Yze was keen, but Hawks put the hard word on him. From what I heard, this year he maybe felt lower down the pecking order behind Mitchell and Bolton so was keen to look elsewhere and the Hawks were more sympathetic.

Whatever happens here, I hope Goodwin swallows his pride and ego and listens to Yze's strategies.

With the soft cap, teams with stronger coaching teams like the hawks will need to move staff on (i.e Yze) ... I would be watching clubs like Geel, Hawt, Rich to see if any of these can be an upgrade on our assistant coaches and pass on their IP

He didn’t win any in seasons he’s been in either. Let’s hope that’s still to come.

Let's hope we can win a flag every year for the rest of our lifetime them. Players that have never won a flag are a disgrace?

He's back wearing  hat for a disguise.

So what I don't get - is the fact that there is a perspective that Goodwin listens to....

  • no one
  • and he is stubborn

Ergo, if this is all true, irrespective of who is brought in, he will still 

  • listen to no one
  • andhe is still stubborn

If this is all true...

then those appointing Yze (or whoever) are either really [censored] dumb (because irrespective of who is appointed...yadda yadda yadda), or perhaps the mythology that Goodwin listens to no one, is simply mythology.

  • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
