  • Demonland changed the title to What's next for Adem Yze?
 

Hopefully Clarko takes the Giants job. Can't see Roos taking another rookie coach.

 

Nobody is irreplaceable, but I would not like to see Yze progress to senior coaching just yet. We have lost enough football ip with the 2 former football dept. staffers to Geelong. Stay a few more years and see more finals campaigns in the red and blue Ooze.

 

he's ready to have a crack and the Giants will have some  talent to work with. But no doubt they are a bit of a basket case right now with salary cap imbalances. Hopefully he can facilitate a trade with MFC with some player swaps. 

I can see him at Port of Dogs next year.

would be mad to go to GWS, with players constantly leaving and the ones that stay on huge contracts, not putting in.  GWS need a senior coach that will be given 3-4 years, not a first timer that will be sacked if no success in 2 years

He had credibility and standing in the game, no need for him to rush in to snr coaching this year. He would be learning a lot off Goody and Choco.


All depends on Clarko's movements. I'd love to see Yze with us for at least another year but it could be wishful thinking. He's a coach in waiting really.

Probably how we all feel. You never really know how much a coach particularly an assistant coach brings to a team. It’s hard to measure success. For many, the only real measure is a flag. Look at Goodwins history. If you took popular opinion 12-18 months ago, Goodwin would have been banished to the football tip of sacked coaches. There are thousands of Geelong supporters who regard Scott as a failure for that reason. This opinion will only change if they win this year god help us.  With Yze the sentiment is that he is a successful Assistant coach but does it mean that he will make a great senior coach ? But as in life  these things only become known if a person take their opportunities. Adem seems a terrific bloke who is liked by the players and respected for his knowledge and approach. As a supporter,  I would like to see him stay for a few more years but at the same time be happy for his sake if got the GWS job.

Sentiment won't be a factor, this is his career we're talking about. All the best ooze, and good luck at the Giant's

We give them Oooze. They give us Whitfield and Hopper. We then on trade these two for either both McKays or both Kings.

Nice round up of experience and development after his years with Clarko. 

How many more years do you want him to do an apprenticeship? 

Not good for us but Ooze deserves a gig at the top.

If he picks the wrong gig, his senior coaching career will be over in 2 years. AFL clubs are not big on second chances

So for his sake, I would take my time and wait for the right opportunity

Brett Ratten and Michael Voss say hi.

I think that 2nd chances will become more accepted by AFL clubs 

Would be very sorry to see him go he helped us achieve the Holy Grail in Footy, he is already a legend of our mighty club But if that is his desire then go forth and conquer Adem Oozze Yze.❤️💙

Hopefully it happens more. But if you take over a bottom club as a new snr coach it’s very unlikely you’ll be successful or get another gig

Yes and no.

Voss is doing exactly that at Carlton. Another 12 months and they might be top 4.

Fagan as a first time coach at lowly Brisbane and now doing a very good job.

Ten years ago your comments would have been spot on. These days it's more case by case. I think Ooze is a terrific coach-in-waiting. If he doesn't succeed at GWS or North I reckon he's too good to be overlooked at another club that suits his approach.

But hey, let's hope he stays for the 3 peat!

There should be some compensation for trading coaching staff i reckon. 😀

Hawks would've had 3 top 10 picks each of the last 10 years if that was the case! 🤣


Gut feel is Clarko will go to North, simply because he has a past connection there and they're Melbourne based. 

Giants i think will go with one of Kingsley or Yze. 

If Yze goes, we need to headhunt the best midfield coach we can find, he's played a massive role for us. I don't hate the idea of James Hird as an assistant. i understand the negative drug saga side of it, but he's a brilliant football mind, a legend of the game and someone who'd walk in and have the respect of the players from day 1.

Given the drugs stuff though, would he have the respect?

I'd hate him anywhere near our club. 

But agree, if Yze goes, we need the best.

Turning out to be a good year for us.

Jacko, going most likely, Yze possibly and media urging Bombers to get Choco.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
