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. 

Reckon we'll probably get in Caracella if Yze leaves.. he's been involved with Geelong and Richmond flags, so has some pedigree..

 

So if Yze and Williams goes. Who fills the void? McVeigh? Who else is there? The Clarke and Dagan potential vacancies may have a flow on effect to senior assistant roles too.

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

With the average year from the coaching group, a bit of a shake up and some fresh ideas might be a good thing

According to the little paper, Adem Yze is now the front runner for the Bombers’ gig. It will be a tough job but I think he’s up to it.

Interesting if he gets the job, as the Bombers sacked Rutten to get an experienced senior coach, but didn’t.

Looks like we might need a new Assistant Coach.

 

Yze may want Williams but why would Williams leave? 

He is a much valued member of a premiership club.  At Ess he would spend his time putting out political spot fires and protecting Adem's back. 

I would have thought Williams has had a gut full of political stuff in his coaching career and wouldn't care for any more.

I reckon he would stay!

Reckon the club would be pretty [censored] off if Yze took Williams with him. Sounds like Caro stirring the pot again.

I reckon Chocco has a shorter expiry date than many in similar positions. 

Pretty intense character.

He might appreciate a new challenge and of course has Essendon ties.

But two years at Melb. might be too short.

You'd be happy introducing a 'moral vacuum' into the club. Jesus wept.

The Hun stating the Yze has been called in today for a 2nd interview. 2nd interview or making sure he is not caught up in the Hawthorn mess before they make the coaching call.

He had the second interview yesterday. Nice to see him bring his Dees bag to it!IMG-20220921-WA0004.jpg.50e1fc9a0fb30786eeb0e22391fad8fe.jpg

I agree re Chocco. I wrote the following not long after he arrived:

Tony, I think Mark is the type of bloke that inspires initially but after a time he may tend to irritate - particularly the other coaches. I think he has a shelf life of about 3 years.

AGreed for sure.  The team AND the coaching panel need constant refresh to avoid slump with this list of talent and Yze leaving is great for him (and maybe his return to the Dees later) but opens up  coachhing panel shake up opportunities.

He and Williams would leave with best wishes. Caracella can sign on any time he likes.

Leigh Matthews rates the list manager/head recruiter as the most important jobs. We need to keep Taylor, probably Lamb too, with the past record. Assistant coaches can come and go. Although we will need a strong personality to keep Goodwin’s man management style balanced. That means tactical coaching and also someone to push Goodwin on his favourites - which is always the downfall of those type of coaches - the currency they trade in is loyalty and not performance.

Yeah if you get a good recruiter and list manager you  hold on for dear life.

I don't Yze to get the job at essendon. 

If he does, I wish him nothing but failure.

I don't ever want Essendon getting up off the canvas. Maybe in another 30 years I'd be fine with it.

The only thing that add could to the sting of Yze going to the team I absolutely despite would be Hird coming to the Dees as an assistant...

Looks like he's auditioning for Saturday Night Fever.

  • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
