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

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.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
