    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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
