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. 


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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 12

    Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
