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.

less information.

 

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 

 

The interview wasn't very convincing.I think something is going on.

Interesting, you reckon Spike could get it permanantly Willmoy? Hasnt been afraid to change things up.

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.

MFC has already told GWS that he is required for finals

Leave going back to back and Yze goes to god status


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

 

Edited by COVID Dan

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

I wonder if the Bombers have sounded out Mark Neeld.

Perfect fit

  • Welcome to Demonland: Steven King

    The Melbourne Football Club has selected a new coach for the 2026 season appointing Geelong Football Club assistant coach Steven King to the head role.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
