I hope the Cats win by 100 pts and go into the prelim arrogant and the Bears smash them.

Not sure I could watch a GF with the cats in it.  As Clarko said - they are not that good.  the pies have just been pathetic.

Carlton beat the Cats FFS and if Vanders had of kicked straight we would have too

Had have or had’ve not had of.

First off this is a great appointed, forgetting that he’s a favourite son of the club he has lots of runs on the board as an assistant to the best coach of the decade. 

The fact that he is a favourite son who gave us some great memories just adds an element of romanticism to it that warms the heart after a frustrating year. 

With all the chatter about what this means for Goody there’s a couple of different schools of thought. For me the way I look at it is this: entering into a season where it was always finals or bust for Simon we have managed to get him the assistance of one of the highest rated assistant coaches in the game. It minimises the excuses for Simon and he should be stoked to have someone of Adem’s quality on board. 

The other way to look at it is this: the club isn’t confident in Simon’s ability to lead the team and is putting a succession plan in place in advance with Yze potentially taking over mid-late next year if results go poorly. 

 It for now can we just not enjoy have Oooooooooooooze back at the club?

Why?

Ooze will ease him in with Hawthorn IP for Dummies:

• when a team scores a lot of goals in row against you, try to stop them doing it
• when your guys have the ball, have them try to kick it to another one of your guys

 

Landmark stuff which could prove very useful.

Clarko’s 2020 year without good players was interesting.

We need a tall strong marking forward.

Welcome back Yze my favourite player!

I remember seeing Ablett live as a kid. I remember being shocked at the size of his legs. So thick. So strong. Maybe that's why he didn't play in a premiership team...? In fact, maybe that explains why all those players can't be considered 'great.' Held back by leg girth. Now that I think of it, Lockett's legs were just outrageously big....

Whaddya think, Coq?

 

Ablett was the greatest player I ever saw. I withdraw all foolish comments.

Based on corrections in this and other threads, and a quick check of an Albanian dictionary, I would like to confirm a crucial fact -

It's Y'ze, not Yze.

Oooooooze

Interesting? NOT.

Coq au tete. Who cares what you like! Life us boring under loq doon! 

Yze has a contract elsewhere. No news. It was all nonsense.

You’re not your. Go back to grade 1. Denise Drysdale.

It’s team game not an individual game. It’s great that there are some really good players in poor teams. But the ultimate measure of success is premierships.

Such a stupid view to hold...

Hall of fame players... without premierships

• Haydn Bunton Sr
• Roy Cazaly
• John Kennedy Sr (none as player)
• Tony Lockett
• Kevin Murray
• Bob Skilton

And this was from the time when the rich clubs could buy the best players to add premierships to their names...

And then there's those players in the cue to join the Hall of fame, including a player I rank as the best I've ever seen in Garry Ablett Sr...

I reckon if your list of players you deem to be "not a true great." includes the above list of champions, it's time consider "what the hell am I talking about?"  

We’ll just have to disagree then. Many commentators on radio and tv have also held this view.

Exactly, the Coq is way off the mark with that comment. The list is enormous.  This commentator stuff is all about self-promotion without admitting that their presence in a premiership team is more an outcome of good luck combined with good teammates with exacting coaching and an individual role  that they might have played personally was controlled by that scenario.

 

We’ve accepted mediocrity for far too long in all departments. I don’t want people back who’ve participated in that mediocrity in whatever role: player, coach or any administrative role. I was keen when Barassi came back as he was part of our most successful era. I do believe he was part of the succeeding success with John Northey due to setting the stage with recruitment and coaching. Use was one of my favourite players too so I withdraw any negative comments about his playing.

Bobby Skilton

Haydyn Bunton 

Gary Ablett snr

Robert Flower

all say hello........and that is just for starters

Haydn Bunton and Robert Flower are dead so they’re not saying anything. Yes they were all elite players but never achieved the heights of a premiership. While speaking with them why don’t you ask how they feel about that?

Let's hope we can win a flag every year for the rest of our lifetime them. Players that have never won a flag are a disgrace?

56 years and no flag is a disgrace. There have been plenty of top commentators including ex players of note who hold the same view that unless a player has been in a premiership side he’s not a true great.

I presume perhaps he has been removed from the site? He has been rather quiet since his diatribe. And no one, aint no one, who can slag of Yze...

Still here sweetie.

Viney had a great season and is an essential player. He’s Melbourne through and through. A leader despite having the captain mantle unceremoniously removed. Trading him Would be worse than delisting Junior McDonald. Good on you Jack Viney! A hero of our club!
