    When Yze walked in the door at the end of 2020, Clarry had just toured the Blues. Yze got the mids on side and sold them on what was needed. Maybe McQualter will have the same impact this year?

    His connection with Mark Williams can surely  be a positive for the midfield and their delivery forward.

    I think this works out well for all parties.

    Yze gets the big gig, we get fresh eyes from a guy who’s been in the top job last season and whose been there during Richmond’s success. And he was their midfield coach so hopefully he can help our mids actually deliver it inside 50 properly.

    Welcome!!

    It might be good news but Goodwin has to listen to what they say.

    It was reported here that Yze was heard at a function saying he wanted to attack through the corridor more and was held back by Goodwin.

    jnrmac I am sure the FD wouldn’t have gone after McQualter if they (not just Goody) weren’t prepared to utilise his broad experience’s and the Yze overheard conversation is just more anti Goodwin hearsay.😁

    He apparently said it publicly at a function.

    But just look at the way we played. It's like there was Ebola in the centre corridor at times.

    From today's Shun, we apparently have AMcQ 'in the mix', 'weighing up' him against T. Chaplin.

    Unsurprisingly poor...

    Do they mean as ‘senior assistant’?

    Someone has to run the box. It’s either McQ or Chaplin.

    No, definitely as I implied. Includes e.g. 'likely to sign this week' and headline is 'McQualter in Dees coach mix'.

    This is wonderful news to have someone of this high quality come to the Melbourne Football Club!

    Pretty much a straight swap for Adem Yze.

    Welcome to the Demons Andrew McQualter! 🙂

    Pretty sure that was Harmes who said Yze wanted to play through the middle more but Goodwin didn’t allow it.

    Apologies as I missed the memo had there been one ...   

    But do we( anyone) know, as opposed summise, what his role is to be. 

    Might come out tonight perhaps.

    Like many...curious.  We certainly need to changes things up.

    I think he is meant to take over from Yze, which was roughly match day leadership.

    Are we pretty much implementing McQualter's game plan next season?

    Well I doubt it will be Yze’s

    I expect -and hope - it will be Goodwin's. He is the senior coach. I expect him to listen to advice but then make the decisions. If it were any other way, the tail would be wagging the dog.

    So did Hames’ most memorable ever kick, across the corridor I guess, breach team rules?  🤗

    McQualter recruited as an experienced assistant coach known for a dynamic, unpredictable attacking set up which makes the most of medium-sized players.

    McAdam, Billings, Windsor and Tholstrup added to the list.

    The 'less talk, show me the change' part of me is pleased.

    Goodwin, was voted down at selection committee to  not include Sache.

    Out of spite we went into a final one man down.

    Massive coaching problems still need to be healed.

    Not happening any time soon.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
