Not a chance the Pies go for an untried coach.. that club is falling apart, they will not trust the future of a club to a first time coach. Its Ross Lyon's to lose..

I agree with that.

The club is in turmoil and landing a big fish Coach, who declared he wanted stability, could stop the Board challenges and pacify the members.

I posted that Clarkson has to be the primary target and he said what you would expect him to say. However, Mitchell is there wanting the senior job, with the Hawks desperate to keep him  and Clarkson has one year left and a President who would happily let him go and then install Mitchell in the job.

Why would Buckley go mid year, unless they were worried they would miss their target, if they waited? That to me excludes Yze and any other untried Coach.

Remember the other team who they hate across town, who may also be looking for a senior coach.

If the word was out that the Blues were sounding Clarkson out, the Pies would be desperate to beat them to the punch.

A similar scenario would exist if Clarkson was unavailable and then Lyon becomes the hot property.

I think if the Pies were looking at an untried coach, Buckley would have stayed until the end of the season, as there would be no urgency.

We will know soon enough.

    Totally agree Mr Redleg.

    I'd rather sack goodwin and promote yze if im being honest. the improvement of 2021 seems to come directly off the back of yze and williams joining. With the same list it cant be coincidental. 

    Of coarse there are still some demonlanders out there who won't give Goodwin credit for anything. Inevitable.

    No chance, none, nada, bare my Ar$3 in Bourke St if this happens.

    Also just by the by, I love Yze as a Melbourne guy and thought he could play with rare sublime skill, but I remember him as an outside player who did not often put his 'head over the ball'. And that's ok, you need a mix of styles etc. But I always though as coach, exhorting your players to go hard, when it was not your style, might not have the same weight with a team? The other coaches going around at the moment, who were not premiership coaches, I have always thought they were at least 'head over the ball types'. I can see Yze as a skills coach, as a game day tactician etc, I am just not a 100% sure that he is the main man type. I searched his highlights to see if I remember things unfairly, but is as I remember. This game where he tore WC a new one, was a case of really bad BO, no comprehension as to why WC didn't play him a bit closer.

    You can also take Mark Williams out of the equation. No way Collingwood will appoint him. 

    And unless Adem Yze has changed his name by deed poll, that's how it's spelt and pronounced. 

    Bit over the ignorance of most sports journalists and commentators who are too lazy to know better.

    Simply disrespectful.

    Posted similar 'red'...I think it will be Lyon and Clarkson.

    Take the pick of which to which club but my thinking is Clarkson to Collingwood and Lyon to Carlton.

    I actually feel for Teague, he's being hung out to dry and probably won't be given the opportunity to see the job through.

    I wish both clubs a miserable futures full of failure.

    I hope that is not being too unkind.

    My mail from someone who is close to a CFC board member is that Ross Lyon will be coaching them

    Hope this is right it would be a shame to lose Yze particularly as things seem to be falling in place finally for Dee’s 

    He can get the senior job at Melbourne in a time

    NFI.  So let me guess it’s all Goodwins fault when we lose but when we are winning it’s all the other coaches who are responsible.

    I tipped this at the start of the year along with a demon premiership.

    If Yze or Williams leave this club right now, I will kill myself.

    Was listening to Lyon today on MMM.
    Is playing the Roos card.
    Saying he'll happily meet with them but not really interested.
    Working 7hrs a week special comments game days and another 6 for Talking Footy.

    I can't understand why any club would want him to be honest.
    Gets decent results but turns clubs unwatchable IMO.

    Still .... He'd be probably getting at least 300K for both.
    6mths of the year off.
    No pressure, etc, etc.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
