Why do I get the feeling he'll be our next coach?

It is a Ratten to St. Kilda under Richardson scenario.  If team doesn't perform, then Goodwin goes and Yze fills the void.

Ahh yes, that's what it is

 

Watching the last two minutes of Melbourne v North highlights on the AFL website with the Yze news showcasing "Yze and Neitz blitz." brought a tear to my eye. For a number of reasons:

A reminder of how good Yze and Neitz were.

How many good players we had in the team at the time. (Why didn't we win a flag ?)

Seeing Troy Broadbridge holding the ball aloft when the siren sounded. RIP Troy.

 

Great news. The Albanian cheer squad will be back in force at the MCG. (We hope. If restrictions allow.?)

This is something I’ve been advocating for a couple of years now, so it pleases me greatly. 
 

He’ll be head coach in 2022.

Well Chook you were spot on, congratulations for filling us all with some hope on the future direction of our beloved Club.

MFC are really getting their "Ducks" lined up going into 2021, just a few more signatures to ease the anxiety, but this has really lifted my expectations going forward.

Thanks Adem for coming home with your great skill set and thanks MFC for recognising a great signing.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When it was set in concrete that he was signed , l was over the moon ....Fantastic news  for sure IMV.

Hi all. Been a while.

Yze coming home

Great stuff from you too Chook :lol:

 

Long sleeves will be the new fashion de rigueur at MFC next year. ?

The potential for conflicts between Yze and Goodwin are obvious. The dynamics will be interesting to say the least. 

Yze can't lose. Goodwin fails ..Yze gets the senior job. Goodwin succeeds ..Yze gets the credit.

2021 could be quite dystopian.

Haydn Bunton and Robert Flower are dead so they’re not saying anything. Yes they were all elite players but never achieved the heights of a premiership. While speaking with them why don’t you ask how they feel about that? 

That's just plain disrespectful. Be better.

Doesn't always work that way. My best guess is that assistant coaches take over the top job when their boss gets the chop fewer than half the time. More often, they get moved on, too, as part of a failed group.

Yeah, that sort of thing drives me nuts. Goodwin is on a hiding to nothing.

In my view, the coach is an important cog in the machine, but a cog nonetheless. His ability to utilise the skills of others should be seen as a strength, not a weakness.

Goodwin strikes me as someone who has great relationships with the players at all the clubs he's been involved in. This shouldn't be underestimated - surround him with right coaching staff and we should start to see our results improve.

Welcome back Yze my favourite player!

Hahaha this guy!

Anyway welcome back Ooooze! 


Somewhere in internet heaven, or possibly masquerading under a different user name, Yze_Magic is weeping with joy

Delighted he is back!

Why does the press release say ' joined the Club’s coaching panel for the 2021 season'.  Just one year????

Same wording as the Burgess press release last year...

It's a 3 year deal mate.

Or perhaps the fact that Goodwin wanted Yze to join last year when Jennings left but couldn't get him because of contract, shows that Goodwin knows its an area he needs expert support and is thrilled to have him on board.

If Yze helps us succeed it just proves Goodwin was right to try and get him last year!

Thanks.  But why doesn't the club say that!!! Or at least say nothing at all rather than let it look like one year!!!  Grrrr

This is absolutely not the reason they would have got him.  

 

Good news , does Goodwin become his under study ?  Richardson should be given the pink slip !!!!!!

I suppose the Goodwin haters actually believe they are funny! Poor delusional fools! This is a thread to celebrate the return of a favourite son. Go practice your ridiculous stand-up routines on Big Footy!

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road for their 3rd interstate game in 4 weeks as they face a fit and firing Crows at Adelaide Oval. With finals now out of our grasps what are you hoping from the Dees today?

  • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

    What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • 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.
