I hope Adem stays and is the logical heir to take over from Goodwin.

 

Maybe a succession plan in a couple of years  like Goody had

Why would we do that? We have one of the best coaches in the game; proven to be able to win flags. He’s young. Probably the best players coach since Clarkson and we are going to just throw that away for an unproven Yze?

Unless Goodwin is done with it all, we will keep him till the end of the decade surely.

Scott's ego is obviously stronger than his interest in staying in a cushy AFL job. Pretty risky taking a coaching gig at the Bombers.

The thing that tipped Brad's ego over the edge now is Chris' success. Chris Scott is now approaching Hardwick, Clarkson (pending investigation) type status and I am sure there is a bit of jealousy there... sibling and twins rivalry

Adem Yze may end up the perennial bridesmaid ala Brian Royal, R Harvey haha, although his skill set is much different...

Yeah I can't help but think that as well. Twin bro tastes the ultimate success and now the burn is suddenly back!


 

Barely 24 hours since he has indicated he will submit to the coaching process and he has the gig. Very thorough indeed.

Yze misses out again 😢

Unfortunately the Hawks investigation would not have helped him. It’s a big enough risk for Essendon to go another inexperienced coach without this hanging over their head. 

Feel for Yze who deserves a shot, but glad for us - may be a bleessing in disguise for him given they aren't the most stable club

Essendon have so little faith in themselves they have to hire a career 50% coach who fell in to some prelims and left a giant mess behind him? 

Yze dodged a bullet if this is what they prefer.

North Job possibly back open.... investigation dependant 

Would much rather he ends up there than the Bombers anyway

The shadow of the Hawks investigation cost him in the end, whether involved or not. Bad luck to Yze. We get him for another year before he likely lands a senior coaching gig elsewhere.


I think Yze will look back at this and thank his lucky stars. Not the right club for him. He's been on the brink a few times which is no doubt frustrating for him but his time will come.

Edited by BDA

Well they reckon they went through a clear and structured process so we have no choice but to believe them..

So I'm guessing Adem stays with us for the time being unless there are any moves at Brisbane or North.

Another year at the MFC then I reckon he will pick something up in 2023/2024 season after a 2nd premiership.

Port, WC, something and or someone will drop out.

I wish all the best for Uze,  but I really didn't want to see him at Ess.  God I hate that mob!

Might be at Port next year after Ken gets sacked


Great Scott!  It will be interesting to see what he can do with a wealthy club compared to the Roos.  
 

Yze will get his chance.  Odds on there will be 2 vacancies next year, maybe more re: hawks mess.

Josh Carr will be the next Port coach, already in the pipe line.

Done deal.

(Edit - Just adding, not officially confirmed, just rumour with a good source)

He's agreed to terms, not 100% sure if he's actually 'signed' yet, but it's done.

*This isn't official info btw, just what I've heard

Have a really bad feeling this might be due to Essendon, but I'm hoping not...

*This was done. Yze was going to be heading there. The only hesitation was moving the family but it was all set.

That was until Rutten was sacked.

(*From a VERY good source this time)

Think you might some new sources Nev.. ;)

Btw I'm disappointed for Yze.. it's his absolute ambition to become a senior coach and once again he's missed out..

Must be completely deflating.

Poor bugger

  • 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.
