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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
