Possibly, but I also know he wasn't super keen on moving the family while still at school.

Wherever he goes he will be successful anyway I reckon. (I'd just hate it to be at Essendon)

If he wasn't super keen then why did he apply for the job in the first place??

Confused that would be he's thought process considering he was a bees knees from getting the Adelaide job few years back until he was beaten by Matthew Nicks.

Jasmine Yze who is his daughter is currently at University and have could easily lived on campus while Noah is now in the back end of high school.

Would have thought now would be the perfect opportunity. 

Disappointed for Ooze that he's missed out on this.

Don't disagree mate, but he's very very keen to be a senior coach.

 

No doubt. But that job won’t further his career 

Could it just have been that GWS thought Kingsley was the better fit and hired him? 

This despite all the 'good sources'

Crazy I know

I might message ya mate as some stuff I don't wanna post here, but as far as I know he's very very keen to be a senior coach so the GWS job was an option and moving the family was on the table - After that I haven't heard what changed which is what makes me wonder about Essendon.

But a SECOND PREMIERSHIP at DEES would!!!


The only option left isn’t going to do him any favours. Based on yesterday’s performance that board is headed up by Football’s Monty Burns.

Only a very few people could touch Essendrug right now. Similar to the MFC after Neeld

Yze would be very ill advised to walk into that infected trap

Don't get me wrong. He shouldn't go to Essendon, its a basket case. Not even Clarkson could succeed there. But i reckon GWS would have been a good fit, out of the limelight he could have put in place his ideas without the media glare

No YZE to GWS; rejected because they thought he was taking the [censored] of their three-letter-acronym name.

Essendon will presumably both recruit and reject him on the same day, with different members of the executive signing different documents, and then they will have to pay him out for a three year contract.

If Port decide to replace Hinkley, they will insist on it being someone who respects and is keen to work with David Koch. So, after a long search, the only acceptable candidate be David Koch.

Personally I still think Yze will succeed Goodwin, possibly as soon as 2025.

Yes I agree. But that vacancy is now unavailable.

Half of their Board want Hird. 
They are in a world of self inflicted pain

Fate. Could be the next Melbourne coach, who knows?

I'd be hoping he takes a look at Essendon and realises it's a tire fire off field and that there's likely going to be better opportunities in store for him with friendlier boards next time round. 

On the flip side I hope this knocks off the first 2 or 3 candidates and they end up with someone who never thought they were going to get a shot at senior coaching.

From The Age:

"Sources said Melbourne assistant coach Adem Yze was slightly ahead in the Giants thinking until final presentations last week, when Kingsley turned their heads with an impressive final display. A Giants source said Kingsley continued to impress them more each time they met with him".

Possibly to go through the coach selection process.

I think there will be one or two more coaching positions that open up this year other than Essendon that might be a better fit for Adem.

Would not be surprised if he ended up as coach of the Bulldogs either this year or next.

If the Bombers take a coach for another club there will be another chance for him.

You'd hope not, but they have a serviceable list, so with a good system and coaching they could challenge for top 8 next year. 

I suspect that they would try to lure Ross Lyon or Leon Cameron as Bucks has emphatically said he would not coach them. Has worked with Sheeds in the past. I suspect Sheeds will get one a more permanent coaching presence, similar to Choco's role for us. Dont know what it means for the rest of the coaching staff though.

I think the new Essendon President is on record stating they are after an experienced senior coach, so I don't think Yze would be looked at.

I wonder if the Bombers have sounded out Mark Neeld.

Has already worked there,  can't you tell

Jokes aside, I think Yze to Port might be the best option at some point next year. Although I can see Koch backing Hinkley for another half decade with a 5th-8th ladder position finals berth next year. :laugh:

On the Couch talking about how Essendon will have to reassure any coach who will enter into their process, as the assumption is that Hird will get the job since half the board want him.

They are unbelievable. It would be funny if it wasn’t so sad.

I reckon Essendon might as well bring Hird back as senior coach and then restructure the rest of the organisation.  They will struggle to attract other experienced senior coaches and he will get them playing some good football similar to what Voss is doing at Carlton.


Feel for Ooze, he deserves a crack at a senior gig, Kingsley is a great appointment, and i reckon he'll do a really strong job for GWS, but feel for yze, though stoked to hang onto him for now

Essendon are off their absolute heads if he's not one of their first calls. there is absolutely no rational, fact based basis for thinking James Hird is a better senior coaching prospect than Adem Yze, or about 50 other blokes to be honest.

Voss has real experience. The win/loss record that James Hird built up was under the influence of Juice

He hasn’t coached in 7 years

Hird isn't an experienced coach but they may see him as one ... 

 

Barham backed himself into a corner by listing the want for an ‘experienced’ coach as justification for the truck sacking. If you’re ever having a bad day, just remember it could be worse, you could be an essendon supporter. They’re being run like a 3rd world country.

What are the bombers options? Ross Lyon, Leon Cameron, James Hird, Nathan Buckley….. then the dinosaurs.  Lyon and Buckley look pretty happy in their media roles.

it really is beautiful to watch though 😂

  • FEATURE: 1925

    A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
