    We're one of the best placed teams to cover this kind of thing IMO. Goody and Yze are very much a team rather than boss and assistant. Also a great run for Yze who I reckon will be coaching either Port or GWS next year.

    If Goody was to get COVID any week - this is it. Yze knows the Hawks well.

    Firstly, I hope Goodwin recovers quickly and isn't too unwell during his period of infection. I also hope that he discovered it early and didn't spread Covid within the team.

    As a matter of interest, with Goodwin sidelined, does the win/loss result against Hawthorn added to Goodwin's coaching record? Or Yze's? I could see arguments both ways, given that coaching is not just a 3 hour job once a week, but what's the standard that's being used?

    Great opportunity for Yze.

    I would hate to lose him, but at the same time I would be bloody happy if he was able to snag a senior coaching gig in the next year or two.

    Bloke deserves it and is one of the best midfield coach and game day tactician going around in the AFL.

    Wouldn't it be better for MFC that Yze stays within the organisation and becomes Goodwin's replacement in 4/5 years?

    Absolutely, but Yze is very keen on a senior gig and is ready for one now. I would love that scenario, but I can't see him waiting that long tbh.

    Pretty fitting he'll be coaching against the Hawks!

    Way of the world these days.

    Wonderful thing about our club is the system we've built both on the field and in the coaches box is firing on all cylinders at the moment.

    Will be a bit of extra press for this game now with Yze going up against his old club.

    If we get a good win (pardon the pun) will the footy shows next week start talking up Ooze as  a possible coach in waiting for 2023?

     

    ...and before anyone says anything, yes i need to update my profile name. :)

    Agree Roy11 it may just provide that extra edge against the Hawkes and it looks like it is going to be a very wet encounter. I am out of isolation today and looking forward to seeing how Yze (one of my all time favourites) clinches our 7th on the trot. Good luck Adem and good luck Simon, try and take it easy.

    i reckon choco or richo will take over boundary line responsibilities. Yze will stay in the box as the tactical master mind. 

     

    We even have quality depth in the coaching ranks... how good is this.

    Doubt it.  We already have Williams there who can fill in for Goodwin and let Yze what he does best in the box.

    Fingers crossed we don't have a more widespread issue with COVID this week or next given Goody could well be a close contact for the whole playing group.

    I like that Yze has been the eyes of the operation from the coaching box - not much will need to change I wouldn't have thought, we'd just be missing Goody's clear messaging from the sideline.

    In Victoria 'close contacts' no longer need to isolate so players are safe unless they get it.

    In a way it’s not a bad thing for a few players coach etc to be going down through the season. Worst result would be an outbreak pre or during  finals . That being said .. get well soon. Good luck to yze.

    Yep great system... that was on the cards when football coaches came out and insisted that was best practise for the minority of the population who follow AFL

    I don't recall Brett Sutton's advice and clearly a November election is irrelevant as a consideration.

    I hope the crowd gets massively behind Adem and when he walks out onto the ground there’s a big “oooooooze” from the MCC. 

    Get well soon Goody, hope he can kinda take this as a bit of a break. If anyone deserves it it’s him!

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
