I want to be really clear in stating from the outset, that there is no dis-respect or dis-credit intended towards Goody from this post/thread.

Simon is a premiership coach, and a likely multi-premiership coach - his achievements speak for themselves. 

I more raise the topic, out of fear that we may loose Yze end of year, partly because we haven’t appreciated what he has done for us since coming back to the club.

Shoot it down all you like, I am of the view that it would be a dangerous position for us as a club to watch him walk out, rather than be part of a potential 3-peat next year. Is there not a way we can make him part of the furniture / succession planning?

what makes you think he is under-appreciated?  he is massively rated within the club and by supporters

you don't start a succession plan after you win your first flag in 57 years

in the words of Forrest Gump - I am not a smart man but I do know that (not sure I got the quote right)

We will see that he is under-appreciated when he walks, and we suddenly have to replace his skillset

Just so we are clear. In your opinion, if he 'walks' ie: secures a head coach position at another club. It is because he is under-appreciated. The only way to retain him and thus show appreciation is by sacking Goodwin, to ensure there is a role for him?

ps... can you bullet point explicitly what he has done for 'us'? Because I thought I had appreciated him, but perhaps there are lots of responsibilities I do not know he does, and I would like to savor and appreciate him some more,.

everyone knows and acknowledges the impact Yze had on us winning the flag last year.  He is one of the best assistant coaches out there

Looking past your bs, and taking part of your post seriously. 

No, not in any way am I suggesting the way to show appreciation is by sacking Goodwin (if you read the original post, I thought that was pretty clear). 

re what he has done for the club, I am compiling a consistent message from multiple people within the club, that a large part of our defensive structure, and ability for midfielders to buy into team defence, as well as leveraging their offensive strength is due to Yze's work. 

If we don't care/value that, and are happy to watch him walk, then so be it. Question answered. 

A touchy group here, who are easily offended obviously.

If we “lose” Yze it will have absolutely nothing to do with being under-appreciated and everything to do with him having learned at the feet of two Premiership coaches, being one of the best assistants going around and deserving the shot at a senior coaching gig.

 It is very probable that Goody will get a contract extension and deservedly so after winning a Premiership. Therefore it is more likely that Yze will at some point Interview for a vacant senior coaching role and possibly get the gig.

 We all would love for a beloved ex-player to return to the club and coach us however the timing is not right and who are we to begrudge him from seeking to further his career if the opportunity arises.

Yze came back at the start of 2021. The only way he’d be coaching us now or in the short term would be for Goody and the team to have spectacularly failed. Would you have preferred that outcome?

Exactly. Which makes the possibility of him leaving for a senior role more likely. It has zero to do with being under-appreciated as the OP suggested.

I never said you stated that you said Goodwin would have to be sacked....and it is not tenable that Yze will coach Melbourne in the senior role, unless Goodwin is sacked.

It is very likely that Yze will be a senior coach... and not in the timeframe that lends itself to Goodwin exiting. He won't be senior coach at this football club...based on how the side is tracking. No one would begrudge him for applying for and ultimately attaining a senior role, actually all in the community would support it - it is not a reflection of or of not, being appreciated.

Adem Yze has been absolutely fantastic since coming back to the Melbourne Demons.

 

He is most certainly appreciated! I hope that we can keep Adem as an assistant coach at the Melbourne Football Club as long as possible.

However, I am pragmatic that he will eventually want a senior coaching role at an AFL club very soon. Let's hope that when he does take on a senior coaching role it is not until after the completion of a Melbourne Demons finals campaign

Good clubs lose assistants. Deal with it.

This all came from a ‘trolling’ post in another thread about Yze being a better coach than Goodwin and we will get a lift out of that and now you have turned that into a thread. 

It doesn’t deserve to be - Goodwin is a flag winning coach that has got the players happy and the team humming. You don’t eff around with that.

Spot on. 

This is simply a case of bad timing. 

I think all can agree that Yze would be the perfect replacement for Goody but due to the current circumstances of which ironically Yze is a big part of creating he will most likely get a gig elsewhere before the opportunity arises at the Dees.

That is our loss but not something that is viable at this time.

He is right to have his opinion and I think many posters have reasonably shown that opinion to be misguided. 

and just a word of caution.....

there is no guarantee an excellent tactical assistant coach will necessary make a good head coach

a head coach is a very different job these days in many ways, some quite intangible

i'd like to think ooze would make a good head coach too but there is no guarantee

i can think of other well credentialed and admired assistant coaches who didn't translate to good head coaches, (maybe due to other reasons than just themselves or not).

We have the best midfield in a generation and we often lose the centre clearances. We used to win most centre clearances but lose alot before Yze came.

Our strategy has improved so much because of Oooze and it is so noticeable.

 

Can’t believe Alistair Clarkson didn’t appreciate all those assistants that went on to become senior coaches. 

he just let them walk!


Give it a rest 1964.

You deservedly got smashed in the previous thread because you came out and said that Yze was already a better senior coach then Simon Goodwin even though you made mention that Goodwin had already a premiership next to his name.

You made this ridiculous claim on the back of no evidence or solid argument that backs this up.

Just stop.

 

Ask me after the weekend, as the match against the Hawks will definitely confirm my established opinion, whatever that happens to be, which I'm not going to share, and irrespective of the result.

As Goodwin and the board have said consistently for a while now, the club is planning for sustained success going forward.   I believe them!


I’m just just taking a wild guess here,  but I presume this would involve developing strategies to retain  as many key players and coaching staff as is reasonably possible, going forward. 

What evidence is out there about how Yze has not been appreciated? Am I missing something here?  I’m not wanting to take sides, I just want to know.  If it is true, that would be both sad and concerning.

When I watched Yze doing a press conference earlier, I actually felt very comfortable and indeed proud about how he and the club were handling the covid challenge.  Is this just me?


I believe that the team spirit, values and respect which is embodied in the club played an enormous part in all players signing back up at the end of last year.  I also hope that it holds true for the coaching and indeed the board going forward.Time of course will tell.  

There is potentially some very exciting things that may happen over the next few years. I’m certainly want to be part of that.  I am well and truly over feeling miserable as I did for fifty odd years prior to what is happening right now. I’m enjoying every minute!

The Claytons is Goodwin the right guy thread.

Yze is a top assistant. He'll get a head coaching job before too long perhaps as early as this off season. Thats just the way it goes. I'm sure we'll all wish him well when the time comes and thank him for the great job he's done for us

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
