Honestly Essendon will just chew him up and spit him out if he doesn't win them a flag within 2 years. Only Hird, the golden drug pusher, could destroy their club for a decade and still be welcomed back with a hug. So let them have each other.

I wonder if Essendon will try to poach Hinkley, which would then open the door for Yze to go to Port. A far better option.

I hope like hell Yze gets a good senior gig because he deserves it, and we should support our own to succeed! 

 

Yze might have one more chance this year, as I think Bombers will go for Hinkley, who would get a release from Port, for his final contact year.

Geez I'd love it if they even simply brought Hird in for an interview. It's real bottom of the barrel stuff that no hoper clubs do.

Hinkers would be a good fit for them. Experienced and knows what it's like to come into a club with instability.

I forgot to add that I thought Yze would get GWS gig and that would leave Kingsley for Port, but the Giants gazumped them.

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.

Surely all the nonsense out of the board has to scare away a few serious candidates. 

 If I was on my way to head coaching role I would be very scared of being a 1.5 yr coach and never get the spot again...

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.

It’s getting to the point of Jonestown and spiked Kool-Aid. 

The bloke got 1 finals series in 4 full series as coach (and one season where they got thrown out). He finished his career one win shy of having a fifty percent strike rate. We aren’t talking about a John Kennedy, Norm Smith or Alastair Clarkson type figure here. 

 

If Hird got the gig, how would you feel as a parent if your child was drafted to the Dons.

That's exactly right. The endgame isn't just landing a senior coaching gig, it's about being comfortable in the knowledge that you'll be given the time you need to start getting the results. More often than not once you have your shot in the hot seat that's it. 

On the money Xecutioner, very much the xcellence of xectution!

 


Yze 's first real crack at a senior gig. He will get more chances . Kingsley had touted for a long time so good on him. On a side note how jacked is he , definately a better role model for GWS players in the fitness stakes than stuie dew 

Edited by Bates Mate

Look I think it would be a much wiser move for them to hire an experienced coach like James Hird or Mark Neeld.


what's next for yze? he adds another premiership as a senior assistant coach and either takes over coaching his own VFL/WA/SA side and if the dons get non politically aligned ceo, recruiting and board in place he goes there

AND he goes to training a lot. Might be something in that.

Yze  does two more years with the dees then takes over from Goodwin and builds his own team of Demons

What? Replace our premiership coach in two years time? FMD.

Why would we get rid of a coach that has just won four Premierships in a row?

Slightly better than if they bought Bomber Thompson back.

  • The Clayton Oliver Thread

    Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
