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.

 

I recall a scene in the box toward the end of the year, Richardson was chatting with Goody, waving his arms about as if, perhaps, suggesting a move of one kind or another. Next week, Richardson was notably absent, not just from the box but apparently the game..... Doo dee dadaa, doo dee dada....

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.

How do we know he ticks all the boxes?

Such a stupid view to hold...

Hall of fame players... without premierships

  • Haydn Bunton Sr
  • Roy Cazaly
  • John Kennedy Sr (none as player)
  • Tony Lockett
  • Kevin Murray
  • Bob Skilton

And this was from the time when the rich clubs could buy the best players to add premierships to their names...

And then there's those players in the cue to join the Hall of fame, including a player I rank as the best I've ever seen in Garry Ablett Sr...

I reckon if your list of players you deem to be "not a true great." includes the above list of champions, it's time consider "what the hell am I talking about?"  

I remember seeing Ablett live as a kid. I remember being shocked at the size of his legs. So thick. So strong. Maybe that's why he didn't play in a premiership team...? In fact, maybe that explains why all those players can't be considered 'great.' Held back by leg girth. Now that I think of it, Lockett's legs were just outrageously big....

Whaddya think, Coq?

Name a single radio or tv commentator that would not have Garry Ablett Snr in his top players of all time list? 

Just one, of the "many" will suffice...

Weird angle you're working here.

even weirder when this thread is about yze as an assistant coach

is he saying assistant coaches (and presumably senior coaches) need to have been "great" players who have previously won a premiership as a player?


I see there's a new resident i-diot.

Coq au tete. Who cares what you like! Life us boring under loq doon! 

 

Based on corrections in this and other threads, and a quick check of an Albanian dictionary, I would like to confirm a crucial fact -

It's Y'ze, not Yze.

  • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

  • 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.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    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.
