You can't polish a Hird

The fact that they are even entertaining the idea of hird is enough to tell you yze would be chewed up an spat out by that incestuous club.

If the next coach is not Hird he would want to get off to a bloody good start or there will be groups behind the scenes agitating for Hird to come back. A disastrous situation that couldn't happen to a better club.

Yze would be a significant loss. The smartest of all our coaches, including the head coach.

Our midfield wasn’t exactly invincible this year, so he still has quite a bit of development to go methinks.

our midfield is essentially the same as prior to yze joining as an assistant coach

i don't see any difference to what it was before and after his joining - it's still built around oliver, petracca, and viney, with harmes and brayshaw as next cabs off the rank

sparrow and jordon are yet to show significant development to go from third tier mids to anything beyond depth rotation

we need an injection of fresh talent as much as we need good coaching

Not only that but we weren't quite dominating clearances like we should have been with the ruck domination we had.

The hunters of 2021, became the hunted in 2022.  Trac and Clarrie ran around with targets on their backs and in the end were playing sore, week in week out.  Others were also very sore.

My mail is that the week before the final against the Lions, 11 of our players went in for scans of various kinds.

Not surprising, Gawn, Salem, Lever, Jackson, Petracca, Kossie, BBB all looked sore, Viney, Melksham, May proppy!

Given what has transpired at Hawthorn today I reckon clubs will be doing some additional due diligence on Adem. Make sure he's not implicated in any way with what allegedly took place there

Not a chance. He is a Grade A human.

I would have said the same about Chris Fagan

but fair enough if you know Adem

If they are both stood down surely Yze will get the nod at one of the clubs. 

I would have thought all people on the Hawthorn coaching staff in the years where the alleged incidents would have their futures put on hold pending the AFL investigation.

On Footy Classified, Wilson said that if Yze gets the job, he'll try to take Mark Williams with him...

Adem - you leave to take this role with our blessing. Don't steal our resources on the way out!

Edited by Glorious Day

 

Caro “ Yze will take Mark Williams with him to Essendon if he gets the job”

Big losses if this happens, better have some back up plans MFC. 

Caro suggests Yze could bring Mark Williams with him, that would be a disaster for mfc. Williams having worked at the club years ago

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
