Is Yze under appreciated?

Anyways, Goody will still be coaching, it’s just that he won’t be there physically. The real test for an assistant coach is when he’s elevated to head coach but without any input from the incumbent. 
To answer the OP’s question: no, Adem is not under-appreciated. This forum alone is a testament to that.

    We will get some idea in the next week. With the loss of three premiership players he has the job in front him. Lucky we are playing Hawthorn.

    What a strange thread. 
    Yze under appreciated??

    He is one of our main cogs. Coaches Clarry and Tracc etc..

    the Club know what they have got, i can assure you of that
    Good Coaches get poached. Hopefully Adem stays “Home” for a while 

    Strange Thread

    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 put money on Yze being a fantastic head coach (and possibly soon).

    He's been a massive influence on the relationships in the club between coaches and players, and was asked very early in his tenure to help improve a few relationships. Don't think for one second that just because he's publicly known as a tactician that any of his other skills aren't as equally amazing.

    I wouldn't say Yze is underappreciated. This football department has shown and expressed countless times what a team effort this has been. Good organisations are going to have good people that other organisations aspiring to be like that one come after. If they can offer something that we can't then it becomes more about opportunity. The soft cap also prevents us from throwing the kitchen sink at keeping assistant coaches. So some people are going to leave no matter how many hugs we give them.

    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.

    The other scenario I could see potentially playing out is one where Goody pulls up stumps and says "After umpteen years of intense involvement at the top level, I've had enough of this coaching caper for now and maybe for good?  I'm getting out now to enjoy doing other things in life" and enables a bloodless succession and hand over to a talented assistant already established within the team and club cluture, very similar to Roos and somewhat Mark Thompson did.  Perhaps that's part of the reason there hasn't been some huge extension to his current contract?  You just never know.

    This was the other scenario I had thought of, and you put it really well Rod.

    And if this happened, personally I think it's brilliant for Simon. Just like it was for Ash Barty (of recent sports people we know in the public sphere) and for anyone living life and then going...actually this doesn't interest me anymore...time to exit stage left.

    After all, it is just a game... (it wasn't in 2021!)

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
