  • 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.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • POSTGAME: Geelong

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
