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

  • NON-MFC: Round 09

    Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
