No, why would I bother making up stuff. Listen to the radio and social media and you will see I'm not making it up.

He did Captain the Filth. Many forget that. 
i don’t think Williams wants to Coach again, but if Collingwood do snare him, it is understandable. 
i just hope it doesn’t happen

Yze could only leave if it was a senior coaching position - that is usually the gentleman's agreement with club and coaching staff.  WHy would Choco go to the same position at another club? 

A left field scenario could be to reunite Clarko, Yze and Williams and let Goodwin goto the Pies in exchange for Maynard. *sarcasm*

I think the "agreement" is that assistant coaches are not approached during the season except for senior coaching roles. I don't think there's anything that says an assistant coach can't move between seasons. After all, how did Yze get to us?

There is a better chance of winning tattslotto on Saturday.


Let's be real though - would a club like Collingwood risk going for an untried senior coach like Yze or throw their considerable resources at Clarkson?  I just can't see Collingwood taking a risk on someone untried, however talented they are.

That's a hell of a lot of pressure for an untried coach who hasn't been part of the club (Yze or Mitchell)

I can't see it happening either, particularly with the turmoil behind the scenes at present.

I would not be surprised if there was more to play out with the Mitchell/Clarkson handover, 2023 is a long way off

Yze would be wise to steer clear of the mess at Collingwood and Carlton. Neither role is right for him. Let Lyons and Clarkson take on those jobs. they have the experience and authority to re-shape those clubs. Yze doesn't. He'd be swimming in the shark pool. Plus who would have his back? Buckley had Maguire. He'll just end-up getting scapegoated and sacked and damaging his reputation.

Or Ross Lyon.

Didn't he wait 12 months till his contract was up?

I don't listen to social media, everyone is just guessing and between now and the end of the season everybody will throw their 2 bob's worth into the ring .

Fairy tale scenarios died out at Collingwood with Eddie.

If he goes he goes...he's not the messiah, just part of a good coaching group with us.

We look to someone else.

For the life of me I never understand how we over blow someones achievements to be almost god like when they are just doing a good job.

There will always be someone else around who can do a good or better job.

Just not the same...cut and paste this to the Burgess thread or anyone else on the way out.

Time will tell, Mark has been very beneficial to Clubs since he stepped away from the top job.

Nicely ambiguous. I assume you mean he's been successful as an asisstant rather than the alternative interpretation that players and clubs liked him better after he left.

He has runs on the board 

Turned Dustin Martin into a Norm Smith Medalist

I have no idea why Carlton or Collingwood would go for an untired coach. The pressure is on both clubs to deliver and appease the members. Yze is not going to do that. You have Clarkson and Lyon available for the taking. Surely they are your targets.

I suspect Choco will be primed as 'past his use by date' for a senior role.

Plus Brad Scott, Michael Voss, Justin Leppitsch, Matthew Knights and others. Not sure if any of them are interested, but each should be better second time around.

Isn't Brad Scott going to the AFL?

But you're right, plenty of tried coaches out there who I think would be an easy sell for the members at both clubs. Can't see them going for a new guy. Too risky.

I think Brad Scott is already at the AFL as Head of Victorian Football (or perhaps something else). His name has been floated as a potential replacement for Steve Hocking but whether there's any substance to the idea or whether some working in the media were just spitballing I have no idea. (Imgaine that. The footy media making things up!)

Let’s wait and see how the remainder of the season pans out to determine how valuable Williams is to this group, and specifically whether he can guide us through this flat patch.

 

Williams has made a big impression on us all; however, my money and faith rests more heavily on Yze to direct us to a GF, a winning GF, and onward to greater success in terms of several seasons of great performance.

Marty Lyons has thrown his hat in the ring ah? Will give the club three pasted players in senior coaching ranks. A wonderful achievement.

I thought Scott did a wonderful job getting two c*&p Norf teams into preliminary finals. Must be able to coach. 

 

This is where the NFL does it so creatively or has done in the past.

Coaches should be considered as part of draft value. 

Patriots gave up a first rounder for Belichick in 2000.  How did that turn out?   

Eg you want him Collingwood? Ok well, we could let him go for a early second  rounder. 

Would be a great addition to our game i reckon.

  • Welcome to Demonland: Steven King

    The Melbourne Football Club has selected a new coach for the 2026 season appointing Geelong Football Club assistant coach Steven King to the head role.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    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.
