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.

I would expect nothing else from you.

 

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.

Perfectly reasonable

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 

I see maggies becoming MFC seconds. I thought they would keep it quiet...


Malthouse- experienced coach at Bulldogs and Premiership coach from two team town said nothing prepared him for scrutiny put on a Collingwood coach

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.  
Spare me mate

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

I was loving this season, until this.

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.

six hours for talking footy? he's having a lend there

Lyon and Mitchell would be Favourites for the Blues or Pies.

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

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
