Loved him on Gus and Gawny, looking forward to it, can't get enough of him

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Love to know if was extra special winning a flag as an assistant having played for the club previously as well.

[george_on_the_outer 7,567]

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?

[FritschyBusiness 1,478]

Can you ask him what is something he has learned through coaching that he wished he knew as a player?

[hells bells 2,023]

Why does Max keep tapping it straight to the opposition midfield?  😄

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.

[Jaded No More 68,867]

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?

[DistrACTION Jackson 8,637]

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

 

[IvanBartul13 2,564]

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.

[D4Life 2,445]

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?

[Brownie 5,969]

Can you make him promise he will never leave us again?

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

[deelusions from afar 1,795]

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.

[Diamond_Jim 12,539]

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

[deelusions from afar 1,795]

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?
