    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!

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
