What's next for Adem Yze?


Demonland

Recommended Posts

There is no one really else left in the mix. With Ross Lyon and Leon Cameron backing out, you'd have to be thinking why would experienced coaches be pulling out of the process. 

The Bombers have publically said before they will target an experienced senior AFL coach and going with Yze will make them look silly and their supporter base will not be happy with the appointment. 

You'd give Yze every chance to be successful, but you would have to question his desperation to become a senior coach at all costs and a club on its knees.

It might make them look silly in the short term but you can PR BS your way out of that crap pretty easily like a politician.

I wouldn’t go near that place.  They are completely trapped in the Sheedy/Hird era and the factions will undermine any ‘outsider’ that comes along.

Anyone good enough to get a senior coaching role there, is good enough to get one somewhere else.

BREAKING: James Hird has officially put his hand up for the Essendon coaching job, reports Mark Robinson.

 

Adem should now withdraw, no newbie coach will have a handicap from the start even if they won it - the spectre of Hird is a ‘board movement’ away.

I hope Yze stays at Melbourne and is groomed as part of Goodwin's succession plan. All coaches have a finite time even premiership-winning ones. My question is what is the contract status of our existing coaching group? It is customary for coaches to shuffle each year and have a new role. The last few years have been difficult with the capping of support staff and I hope the club can spend more and rather than pot the existing coaches maybe the resources are a bit thin and the things that drive us crazy are due to less coaches.

Geelong cleaned out a lot of long-term, who knows what is correct. assistants and the Pies restructured their entire coaching staff

I'm guessing the assistant coaches are on 3 year contracts but don't know when they were written/updated.  Goodwin renewed until the end of 2024.

I think we are one year ahead of Geelong and Collingwood.  We overhauled our FD at end of 2020.  In particular Josh Mahoney left replaced by Richardson and we got in Williams and Yze to replace a few inexperienced coaches.  Radford went from Casey Coach to Opposition Strategy and Education.  All of which gave Goodwin much stronger support which had been lacking.

The constants were:  Goodwin, Chaplin and Stafford. 

The team is very capable (they delivered a flag) and if we were to change maybe let Stafford revert to ruck/stoppage coach and get a Forward coach.  Interestingly we haven't had a forward coach who played as or previously coached forwards, for the last 10 years.  The soft cap goes up next year so we may see an addition to the coaching staff.

It seems both Jobe and Tim Watson are anti Hird's return to the club. 

Jobe spoke against it when Rutten was exited:  "Former Essendon captain Jobe Watson has urged the crisis-riddled Bombers to avoid the temptation of chasing a quick-fix saviour, saying the possible return of James Hird to the coaching role would not work".

Tim has said "Essendon do not need a saviour" and "I think for a lot of people it would drag back all those things that happened during that period of time that he was there as coach,” Watson said.  “I’d be more than surprised if he ended being the coach of the Essendon Football Club, but I’m happy for him to be part of the process and for him to have the courage to put his hand up and even go through it".

Looks like Watson snr is the leader/spokesperson of the anti-Hird for coach camp. 

Robbo the cheerleader for Hird.

Of all people Jobe and Tim would know exactly what went on during the drug saga and would have good reason to strongly speak against Hird as coach.

Cornes was closer to the mark , and the SA border,when he said that Hird surely can't get the job because relative to the other contenders he just hasn't done the work in the game over the last ten years.

Not a big deal in his eyes, just that Hird isn't qualified for the job.

And when Robbo is your main man you know  it's nothing more than teenage emotion without a shred of sense

If Essendon go with Hird it will be one of the craziest moves in the history of the VFL/AFL and will cement their status as cellar-dweller/mid-table club for another 10 years. Going the saviour route never works, especially one as inexperienced and tainted as Hird.

What are they thinking?!

Zach Merrett told a crowd of 600 people at an AFL finals lunch that James Hird 'would not be the right person for the Bombers coaching job', per

I saw Hirdy today down Toorak Road.

He sometimes  has a word or at least a quick chat in the park .

Today he was head down and shutting out the ambient visual noise that follows him.

Still looks like a Greek God, though the hair aint wot it used to be imo

 

So determined/ driven to succeed you can see why he was a champion but in conversation / chat about general  "stuff" it's an attitude that leads itself to superficial and banal cliches.

Actually he might be a good coach ,but then you could have said the same about Buckley

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.
