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.

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?

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.

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?

    MATCH SIM: Friday 7th February 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti
