Adem Yze one of our all time favourites, Bring It On............!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just showed my wife some highlights videos of Yze and she quickly noted, "Oh, he is in Fritsch's spot" because of all the close-to-the boundary 40-out beauties Yze was slotting.

A theory is born - Yze is coming to Melbourne specifically to sort out Fritsch's kicking.

Worth noting - in his third season Yze kick 9.16, so he knows how to miss and knows how to correct the problem.

Leppitsch would be a great get but I’m sure wouldn’t be cheap. Yze is highly rated and will have to be renumerated accordingly. Burgess would be on top dollar. Goodwin, Richo, Mahoney and the rest.

Genuine question. How do we cut costs to fit under the cap and at the same time afford to pay all of the above?

There are two potential answers to this question. 

1) having a smaller coaching staff will help bring down overall running costs.

2) I wouldn't be surprised if the AFL provides greater flexibility to the soft cap for 2021. This would enable us to go after 2 or 3 key assistants, at the same time as cutting superfluous staff and running a leaner machine.

The AFL needs clubs to perform next year, otherwise membership bases with kick a hole through the balance sheets of clubs and the AFL will have a larger problem on its hands with a new TV deal on the horizon.

I was told couple of weeks ago that the Club is in advanced discussions with Yze and are being listened to by Leppitsch. 
 

My source said that Yze is very likely and if Leppitsch decides to continue in Footy, it will be with the Dees. 

Great news, thanks for the heads up.

Wasn Leppitsch part of the tigers rise? Yze and Leppa would be huge gets.

Very exciting.

There’s a guy in a Facebook group I follow claiming this scoop as his own.  

Haha there’s always one, which group mate?

I hope Yze never becomes head coach at the MFC, but instead joins another club as head coach AFTER helping Goodwin become a premiership coach

IE I hope 2021 isn't so much of a  failure that Yze becomes an interim coach. A 2022 finals series is a long way away.

Apart from the romanticism of being a favourite ex player what is he going to bring?

Please no guess work or urban myths...

Can someone tell us his skill set as a coach and if he is the best man for the job?

I couldn't care less that he is an ex player, one of your favourites.

I also know he coached at Hawthorn with Clarko...

What does he bring?

Solid information please...

Was credited with vastly improving the Hawks' kicking skills while in charge of that area.

Worked his way up to being match day/strategy.

Kicking skills and strategy. Pretty perfect for us.

While we're on the topic of Leppitsch ... Tiger fans I know credit the Tigers' turnaround to Leppitsch rather than any "road to Damascus" moment by Hardwick.

I suppose the fact that Hawks refused to let him out of contract last year when we were chasing his hard speaks volumes of how good they think he is. 
Plenty of top quality coaches have come out of the Hawks camp under Clarkson. I hope Yze can be added to that list. 
 

He certainly can’t do worse than our current crop.

What exactly has Mahoney done wrong? Genuine question.

What has he done right? Losing culture bar 1 yr since the Neeld days when he was involved. 
paid overs for Lever, Tomlinson, May, let Frost , Kent etc go. ....

leppitsch on the radio last nite said that he was stepping away from football entirely for the time being

Wouldn't be the first time that has meant coming to the Demons!

Basically, what @Lord Nev said.  From kicking/goalkicking specialist, to versatile line coach, to match day strategy.

Is a legitimately desirable target.

 

https://www.hawthornfc.com.au/news/710789/yze-promoted-to-assistant-coach

"Yze played a key role in harnessing the Hawthorn players' elite kicking skills as they developed into the AFL's deadliest team in front of goal over the past two seasons.  Since 2010, the team's accuracy has soared from 48 per cent to 57.1 per cent."

https://www.hawthornfc.com.au/news/227910/adem-yze

"Yze was promoted to Assistant Coach at the end of 2014 after establishing himself as a respected teacher at Hawthorn.  ... After four years as a line coach, Yze shifts into the role of 'Head of Match Day Strategy & Opposition' in 2019."

Let Frost and Kent go..... oh the horror ??‍♂️
May was close to the best full back in the comp this year and was worth every penny

Always loved Adem. One of my all-time favourite players. But I missed a bunch of football in the mid-2000s. Curious what prompted his move to the forward-line and if it was accepted by the supporter-base at the time and ultimately considered successful?

Kent is better than ANB, Spargo, Hannan, Hunt all similar types. 
Mahoney has produced zero. 

Would he get a job at one of the top clubs as footy ops / GM ?

zero chance. 
get rid of him. 

I imagine he is coming to eat Goodwin’s lunch and more.

smells a bit like ratten coming in as assistant to richardson last year at the aints; you just knew that if richo didn't deliver the good in the first half of the year ratts would get a go in 2020 and beyond

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
