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.

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.

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.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
