Yes I hope Goodwin finally listens to some one on the panel

If he doesn't he should be gone bigtime Makes you wonder what role Goodwin will play next year

Knew it would take no time for some to use the Yze appointment to start undermining Goodwin - predictable, tedious, half-cocked. 'Yawn', all right.

    I hope he is our goal kicking coach and not Stafford he was a great kick for goal.

    I know one of the assistant coaches  OK? Yawn Yawn I was responding to the post that identified match day coaching as a current weakness at the club see above.

    My opinion is that it is a weakness and if YZE has the skills then that is a positive. Yawn!

     

    That was my post you are referring to, and now you are repeating what I said the first time.

    In your previous post however, you said nothing about skills and just took a pot shot at Goodwin "not listening" to anyone. With no evidence.

    OK he took harder shots on goal than Stafford.

    Great get. I wonder what his official role(s) will be. Hopefully he is involved with our goal kicking. Might be our next head coach after Goody, if we don’t improve next year.

    I was ambivalent about yze coming.

    Now that he is i think it is fantastic.

    I can feel my dormant pollyana syndrome rising.

    Looking forward to the articles crediting yze with our top 4 finish.

    What's this story about Goodwin ever taking any input from assistants.  I know directly from Brendan McCartney that they had a close and fruitful relationship.  When Macca left everything he said was positive about Goodwin.

    McCartney had an excellent reputation as an asst. coach so on face value he may hold this view stated to you.

    Having said that, then if true and no resaon to believe otherwise, that means the disfunctional forward/midfield connection and lack of development of A graders (like Oliver) and lack of connection of Gawns dominance, the issues fall at the feet of the entire coaching team, led by Goodwin presumable.

    Thus roll on Pert's "deep dive"...?

    Adem   Yze has learnt from the best.  Clarkson   would have fed him the best of knowledge.    How to win the Premiership.

    I am hoping the path is the right one.

    You did call this last year @Lord Nev
    I think Yze was keen on coming to melbourne last year. But hawthorn held him to his deal, which speaks to the regard in which they hold him

    I am really encouraged that our Board and Management are doing everything in their power to give our playing group and coaching group all they can to achieve ultimate success. Its time that they now return the favour by addressing the areas that they need to improve in to be a consistent top team. I personally feel that the youth and inexperience of our forward line is the remaining weakness in our playing list, but Weideman, Fritsche, Kozi and Dogga is a lot of talent to build around, and the rest is pretty much mental (ie Swans. Freo etc).

    I know a lot of posters think goody can't coach, doesn't listen, can't deligate, has no match day awareness etc etc, (all the similar traits that apparently Hardwick, had etc), but I like that our Board seem to be following the Richmond model to make sure the support network is there and then give the incumbent time to execute.

    If Goody can't deliver in 2021 with the tools he has been given, then at least it seems that there is a decent plan B (who will have already had a year's experience with the playing list).

    We tried for Adem last year to no avail and haven’t given up which has resulted in him coming on board. 
    I said earlier in this thread that out coaching staff is probably the most underwhelming group in the league outside of NMFC. Made up of okay past players and VFL coaches but otherwise very inexperienced. 
    I’m anticipating the appointment of Yze and hopefully another strong assistant will be just what Goodwin needs for support even though I’m still not sold on Goodwins capabilities. 
     

    I also agree in part to the sentiment that if Goodwin fails to make finals again next year then Yze would be a logical replacement.

    Whilst I like his appointment from a talent point of view, the fact we are already looking at getting in new assistants basically states that Goodwin isn't going anywhere and for that reason alone, I hate this appointment!

    He was never going anywhere this year.

    However, if we struggle through next year then it will be a different story.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
