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?

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
