At Hawthorn, Clarko coached from the box.  At Melbourne Goodwin from the boundary.

What change does that make to the roles/responsibilities for Assistant coaches?

Slightly off topic, but I’ve been thinking lately when I see coaches up in the box they look helpless whereas Goodwin on the boundary provides immediate feedback and support to the players.

Clearly it’s working, I’m just surprised more teams don’t use this model especially as it is what is used in the NFL.

Would love to know if his favourite moment from his career was the qualifying final win vs Carlton?

I still remember his goal kicked off the deck in the last quarter to but us in front.... or maybe that was up by 9.

Couldn't help myself but go watch it again after seeing your comment, What an amazing goal!

And for those of you playing at home, just hit the play button

Ooze is my all time favourite player.   Back in the days when you could watch the reserves before the seniors, I used to watch them every week.  In his first year, he hadn't done much first half of the season in the twos.  We went to Waverley to watch St Kilda and Yze played on Tim Pekin ( who played a lot of senior footy for Fitzroy and St Kilda) in midfield and absolutely destroyed him, had about 40 touches and was BOG by a mile.   The next day in the paper he wasnt listed in the bests and Pekin was named Saints best.  Was the strangest list of best players I've ever seen.  As fate would have it, Ooze was listed in the emergencies next game against Richmond and I think Clay Sampson pulled out of the team late so he got a gig.    That was the situation of his first game FWIW.

I'm going to ask him about that considering his current role has him in the box while Goody is on the bench. Perhaps what his preference would be should he have to fill in as head coach or if he ever gets his own gig.

The Sound the Alarm series is a great example of Goody providing that instant feedback and encouragement directly to the players.

How concerned is he about big momentum shifts that we seem to have with our midfield where we can dominate and then get dominated within the same game and sometimes also within the same quarter?

Good question. I have already written out quite a few but I think this warrants a go as it is definitely a concern of mine. So far it is unfounded as we always seem to wrestle control back and in the GF and Rd 01 were able to go on to comfortable wins.

My concern is for when we don't get it back but it seems the coaches and the team have the belief.

I have a question about how do you instill that belief in the playing group that they can reset and wrestle control back. I think I might need to merge the two as I'm sure his answer to your question is that they aren't concerned because the players have the belief that they can reset.

This is a good question. We all have our favourite Ooze moment but what is his favourite moment.

In the finals we absolutely smashed Lions, Cats, Dogs, but to start the season and during last season we had a lot of wins 20-30 points, almost holding the opposition rather than putting them away. 
Why the difference in approach?

Interesting question. Not sure how deep he will go into divulging any state secrets.

We have two of the best creative contested ball players in Trac and Clarry, the best ruck duo in the game in Gawn and Jackson plus a host of talented centre square mids eg Viney, Harmes, Sparrow.  Why / How do we lose so many centre clearances?  Is this down to the opposition researching what we do?  Or is this not a problem provided we can put enough pressure on the opposition as they're leaving the clearance.

I'd be interested in what he thinks are the key differences in playing forward now from when he played. What are today's non negotiables compared to those of twenty years ago.

Also 2000 saw the first full game of flooding when the Bulldogs dealt out Essendon's only loss for the year. Over the 2000/2001 was the flood and two way running a big thing in pre season training or were we slow to adopt.

thanks

I remember Daniher saying when he coached us that Yze and Farmer had a "licence" to break team rules (or something equivalent) - i.e. they could have shots from the boundary or 50m out as they had the skills to pull it off.

In today's footy, if you miss doing that (and even if you don't) the media will highlight you all week as a selfish player burning team mates up the field.  While I get this in terms of playing the percentages and building team culture, it means players will rarely have a shot when there are players in front of them and you often see players doing the "team thing" and kick to a contest when they are actually within range.  Shots from outside 50 on the run are also a good way of breaking down strong team defence / flood / zoning but we rarely see it from our team.

I wonder what Yze makes of this - does Melbourne currently give out "licences" to any players in this way?

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
