Slightly better than if they bought Bomber Thompson back.

Oh yeah there's another credible coach with experience they should consider.

Why would we get rid of a coach that has just won four Premierships in a row?

Because a coach who's Premierships are plentiful is less likely to want another one than one who's Premiership supplies are low.

From The Age:

"Sources said Melbourne assistant coach Adem Yze was slightly ahead in the Giants thinking until final presentations last week, when Kingsley turned their heads with an impressive final display. A Giants source said Kingsley continued to impress them more each time they met with him".

And history is littered with coaches that had a great Powerpoint presentation that swayed the selection committee. One name come to mind Mark Neeld. I remember another occasion an applicant missed out when his computer stalled and he couldn't deliver his Powerpoint presentation. I think the bells and whistles and a good audiovisual don't make you a great coach.

I was gonna say the same thing!

Yze was in front right until the last minute when Kingsley walked in and nailed the handshake with a nice, firm grip. On lookers said they had never seen a final interview day handshake like it but that was not all! His laptop started up in 15 seconds, an AFL record. This all paved the way for his super smooth PowerPoint presentation which in addition to the new clicker he bought specially, referenced the words: 'process, system, outcomes, growth, and metrics' a million times and then showed a diagram of the best way to make it from the cafeteria to the training ground for training. 

Needless to say after that, it was a done deal.

For what it's worth I think Lyon will coach EFC...

If they get all the housecleaning done in the next few weeks then there could be a good opportunity there.

Part of the housekeeping would be to move Sheedy off the board, but maybe that is too big an ask.

Adem should have a good look if the opportunity presented for him.

...as much as I would hate to see him coach them.

They cannot take a first time Coach

It won’t happen, unless the job gets turned down by everyone!!

Personally I think a first time coach with experience is what they need. Adem fits the bill.

...but, they must get the off field stuff together.

They have started the purge, will they have the fortitude to go all the way.

From the outside looking in there are 2 political players that need moving on.

Barham is well regarded & might just pull things together.

Remember recent history where both Collingwood & Carlton seemed in disarray prior to the start of this season.

If you look at the premierships of the last 15 years or so the vast majority are 'first time coaches'.

It's more about the development and experience before taking the top job, Yze has that in spades now.

Bombers are in a different category 

it has nothing to do with Adem’s situation. They have killed off too many first up Coaches since the Drugs were rife

A first up Coach with experience is not experienced enough to Coach Essendrug

It's also about supporting the first time coach, and allowing them to grow into the role. Thompson, Clarkson, Hardwick and Goodwin weren't overnight sensations.

It would be hard for the remaining Essendon board members to go with a first time coach because they pulled the rug under Rutten. The board members and CEO who supported Rutten have resigned.

Yep absolutely, and all those coaches (Scott would be an exclusion given his first year) had their times when their jobs were in jeopardy somewhat.

Maybe. I don't think that just because Rutten didn't work that every other 'first time coach' wouldn't work as well. For mine, more about getting one who has gone through all the training and processes, has experience and success, and then making sure they get the best they can to surround them with in terms of assistants, list management, footy boss etc etc.

They deserve each other. What a pain that man is. His mate Eddie isn’t going too is he?

Spot on. The lack of respect for Rutten by the players was appalling. The players will eat another first-time coach alive. Need an experienced coach who will bring the players into line. The players won’t respond to a first-time coach attempting to bring them into line.

I also feel a fair few of those Essendon players are bathwater drinkers. They need someone who will tell them to look in the mirror and pity the fool they see before them.

I really don't want Yze to coach Essendon:

1. He is probably going to be a very good senior coach. I don't want that for Essendon.

2. Essendon's culture will greatly damage his opportunity to succeed as a coach. I don't want that for Yze.

3. I do want Yze for Melbourne and I dream of a smooth future succession taking place at a time when we have several premiership stars in their veteran years to support the growth of a new generation under a new coach.

I reckon the lack of respect here for Goody is pretty poor.

Why do we ever need Yze to take over? Why couldn't Goody leave when he's grey and old, ala Ferguson at Man United?

I'd love Yze to stay at the MFC, but if he wants to become a senior coach, he needs to go elsewhere.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
