Yze to coach GWS?

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.

    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.

    I can’t blame him but FMD we may lose Brayshaw, Jackson and Yze in one off season hit.

    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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Gold Coast

      The forecast said wind. The ladder said mismatch. The scoreboard said obliteration. Melbourne didn’t just beat Gold Coast — they dismantled them: 13.15 (93) to 0.6 (6). An 87-point obliteration, the Suns held goalless, and the Demons delivering their second-highest winning margin and third-highest score in AFLW history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #28 Will Verrall

      It was a tough ask for him to break through as a 199cm ruckman in the shadow of an all-time great in that position who is also the club captain. He had some good days at Casey but was unable to progress and was delisted at the end of the season.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

      The 33-year-old Campbell has yet to play AFL football for Melbourne, but his Casey form has been strong and he has been retained as a ready-made ruck depth option who is widely regarded as someone who is excellent for the culture of the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #30 Harry Sharp 

      The Demons acquired an interesting player in Sharp, who narrowly missed securing a spot in the Lions’ premiership team last year. The 22-year-old medium forward played in the opening round this season and ended up with 18 senior games, although he was substituted in or out in for ten of those matches. He demonstrated glimpses of form, but ultimately ended the year on the margins of the team.

      Worked his way back after a slow start and a further slump in form going into the midseason but became a solid contributor for the club in the latter half of 2025. Closing in on 300 goals for the club.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.
