Another poster has suggested we need someone who can stand up to Goodwin. I thought Darren Burgess made it very plain one of the great things about Goodwin is his preparedness to allow those working with him to have autonomy, with his full trust.

Yeah that poster would really know what goes on, some people have strange dreams, his are obviously delusional.

    With Yze a potential senior coach after today or this weekend, I do wonder how much input the brainstrust have in the way we play. He was with Hawthorn and witnessed Clarko first hand.

    Also with Choco a premiership coach too, there is a lot of intel there.

    Yet we continually kick out to the left from kick ins, and forward line structure is below average.

    Don't know if its just me, but I scratch my head.

    Do they trust how they want to play and back themselves? Is Goodwin too stubborn to change? 

    I just don't understand with such a high level of experience that we don't change things up.

    Anyway good luck to Yze if successful.

    It really feels like we went away and did all this analysis of scores achieved and conceded from various positions on the ground and through various scenarios, identified the best outcomes, and have gone with the idea that things will only arrive out those statistical outcomes if we do it that way every single time.

    We might have missed a trick in that it seemed to have opposition sides stumped last year, and a bit early this year, so maybe we should have mixed things up just so we can pull this plan A out when we really need it. Now that plan A has been analysed so much by opponents, it's not as effective anymore.

    Having said that, our way of playing is hugely reliant on us applying pressure around the ball, and we have been extremely poor in that area this year. If we can somehow switch that on, all of a sudden teams will be inherently kicking the ball to the spots we want them kicking to, rather than having the time and space to cut through us and generate good deep entries. Our game will go from painfully boring to watch, back to the more exciting stuff we saw at times last year.

    *sound of the bombers contacting Yze’s manager

    he signed with the giants yet? If we don’t get Hird, or Ross Lyon, or Leigh Matthews, he is top of the list

    How do we know that Yze wants to uproot all his family and move to Sydney and that Mcveigh isn't doing a good job, which I think he is.

    He's agreed to terms, not 100% sure if he's actually 'signed' yet, but it's done.

    *This isn't official info btw, just what I've heard

    I'd say Essendon are munsoned out in the middle of no-where. Yze will coach the Giants and they will have to go the short-listing process. Diddums

    I wouldn't wanting to be hanging around the western suburbs of Sydney, I think it is a s*it of a place, I was stationed at Holsworthy a few decades ago and it was bad enough then and from what I have seen it has gotten worse.

    Apologies to anyone here who lives in that area but that is my opinion.

    Most likely a good opinion though.

    I do wonder if Yze would want to meet Essendon as it does make it much easier with kids not moving interstate.

    Sen reporting Yze is to coach GWS next year.

    All the best to him, he's been great for us in his short time with Goodwin, I just hope he sees out the finals series.

    Luckily for Yze the bombers are after an ex head coach.

    Surprising and thrilling. Sorry for Yze but super happy he might stay with us after all. 
    Surely he doesn’t go to Essendon

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
