Yze????? You must be joking . Were you guys even alive when he was playing???? Another flash in the pan loser.

I wish we had a few more 270+ game flash in the pan losers like that in our club's history..

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.

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
