Not surprising. Although, I think North need to go for an experienced senior coach, even if it’s a set-up similar to our succession plan. Yze would be a good fit for GWS, can definitely see him going there. 

 

Don't go near the North job Adem. They're a complete basket case 

I hope he hangs around at Melbourne and takes over from Goodwin. North are shot and GWS have no heritage.


I'd say the same as what's been said. GWS would be the better option.

North really need an experienced figure with enough football cred to sell patience. Yze has been part of premiership coaching staffs at two clubs, but when the heat comes, he won't have the CV of an Al Clarkson to keep the wolves from the door.

If you would like to know what it would have been like if Goody got put straight into the big chair from 2014 onwards, you'd likely see it if Ooze goes to North next year.

We better not trade out 2023's future first!

we're going to want to as otherwise the points will just get swallowed up matching for kynan brown

on yze, good luck to him - clearly been moving towards being a senior coach at some point

 

I hope not. Can we pleeeaaassseee keep him while Gawn era premiership window is open!!!!

Clarkson to GWS

Cameron to North (if he wants to get back into it so quickly)

W town. 

Warrnambool?

Our midfield is hardly humming. Reckon he should concentrate on the job at hand (not saying he isn’t) and turn some hit outs into clearances with the ruck group

North need an experienced coach. Gws have zero culture or heritage so why even consider them

can see Yze at Port or the dogs next year

What a loss it would be to lose Yze. He is ready for a senior coaching role and would sit nicely in charge of what he is already working with - making the Dees great again. 


Beggars can't be choosers but you'd reckon both Norf and the Giants are not first choice clubs to coach.

I'd wait if I were him. 

I guess if you keep picking the right people, other clubs will always be looking to poach them. No different to players really.

I hope he says no and stays but the bloke deserves his shot at the big time. 

Ooze will always be Melbourne to me.

How does this marry up for those having a chirp at Luke Jackson?

Any commentary around the following?

"his game day performance will drop"

"no real incentive, just going through the motions now with this club"

"he didn't smile, he can't be invested in the players"

I credit Yze for a small but vital part in the overall Premiership last year.

With Goody on the boundary and knowing Yze is up in the box I suspect they were a powerful combination (including others also in coaching, but Yze in particular given his Clarkson background). Filled me with confidence all 2021.

Going elsewhere only will strengthen him for an eventual return to the Dees as head coach.  

But I couldn't be more pleased for a favourite son if he gets a senior gig anywhere.  He can't do anymore CV - wise to prepare himself for the role.

 

Far from ideal if he gets the gws job. 

assume the contract will begin in October? I’m sure he will do his job at the Dees but human nature says his mind will be elsewhere

but of course I’d be happy for him

We cant stand in his way, but potential to lose him and Chocco in the one off season is rather sobering.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
