This worries me as I hold great store in the fact that Yze was working in strategy with Clarkson in the great years.  Hawks weren't necessarily the best teams but got the job done winning flags. Many contributed but Yze would have benn a key component to Clarko.

I was wrapped for this reason when he came to us, (as well as being a Dees hero in playing days), and it helped us in 21 big time.

Thus he's not easily replaced.

I'll be thrilled for him nevertheless if he succeeds in winning the Tiges job.

Who comes in to replace him will require much thought and not just knee jerk to identify known ex-coaches.

Goody is a flag coach, he/we don't need star power added just for the sake of it.

 

Best of luck Adem, but be very very careful, remember Danny Frawley!

Seriously, who would coach us if he departs, Buckley would be a great get if he wishes to become reinvolved.

Ummm Goodwin?

 

If you mean who will coach our midfield, we can go after Dew, Ratten etc.

Buckley is never leaving his cushy media gig

Buckley's coaching record is horrible. 

Good luck to Yze. Is Balme still overseeing the head coach at Richmond?

are you for real?

figjam was bog ordinary at the filth, and that's his only coaching experience

other than 2018, he took them backwards every year

If Yze is successful, what is everyone’s thoughts on Stuart Dew replacing him as the midfield line coach?

As a coach … maybe.

You certainly wouldn’t employ him as club dietitian!

Surely Yze takes over at Melbourne in 2027?

I have no doubt that Goodwin is all-in as a senior coach but I also think he's a sane and reasonable person, and I can't imagine any sane and reasonable person wanting to be a senior AFL coach for more than ten consecutive years.

I love the Oooze and wish him all the best, but nah,    I want him to stay with us and become our next senior coach in a few years. 

I think we need to be well and truly prepared for Yze to leave, because if he doesn’t get the Richmond job, he’ll probably get the Bulldogs job.

Although, they’re even more likely to shift themselves in the foot with a Giansiracusa selection.


The bloke is bound for a head coach position. 

Win it this year and he goes with my blessing.

Goodwin has travelled through a river a [censored] to hopefully enjoy the last three years and the next three years - why he is he moving on after 10 years, to allow Yze to coach?

I just don’t see any other coach this decade.

If he goes, any chance we can get Rattern back to gill his role

I’m not sure how I feel about that. Wouldn’t it be weird having Ratten work under the bloke who he replaced at the Saints?

That'd be a decent catch I'm sure we'd be angling for, but there may be a roe of potential suitors lining up just for the halibut.

Your views re long term Senior Coaching are not necessarily Simons or any D/Landers Just because you think it's time for a change in 2027 it's not going to be the time.

Personally I believe Mick Stinnear  would bê the best person to coach the Dees next.
Ooze can replace Greg Stafford next year and see how he can improve the Forward line if he doesn't get the Tigers otr any other job. 

There has to  be a change in our Forward Coach ASAP and Simon must alter his defensive tactics ifwe are to win the Flags that our ability is capable of.

Are you so just thinking it's not both our connectors passing plus our forwards stagnation snd lack of separation plus the ridiculous tactics of kicking to a pack of defenders and forwards. Talk snout self inflicted Coach Killers.

any how it's not working so change the tune and get cracking,

this is basically incomprehensible

i think it's a whole-of-approach thing - blaming goodwin or stafford or yze in isolation isn't offering a solution

  • PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

  • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

  • CASEY: Box Hill

    The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
