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

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
