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

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.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
