Richmond Rant / Re: Coach Adem Yze [merged]

« Last post by ajGreen on November 26, 2025, 09:11:29 PM »

The thing i want to see the most from yze this season is his and his assistants mixing things up in game to try to shift momentum. Especially in midfield it seemed like we ran with TT, Hopper, Prestia (when he was fit) for like 95% of game time even when they were getting soundly beaten. I want to see plenty of mid rotation for Lalor, Smillie (when fit), kmac2, Hotton, Cumming, Grlj hell even throw MRJ in there from time to time.

Tbf to the coach literally all of lalor. Smillie. Macca. We're hurt.

Hotton was coming off a knee so it was a good idea to limit mid time.

Rioli had one game in the middle. Sonsie a bit too

From 2028 we'll lose north-east Victoria to Norf and Carlton and part of the north-west to Geelong 

We'll gain eastern and south-east Melbourne metro areas around the Monash Council region and Rowville, from Hawthorn.

we have the worst zone in the league so, it cannot get worse

Melbourne for Dandenong, Dandenong North, Keysborough, Noble Park, Springvale, and parts of Greater Dandenong City apparently.

You'd think that's be a gold mine going forward.

And less of the going to water and turning up our toes for blocks of games where we were absolutely smashed (rounds 2-5 and rounds 13-17 avg margin 60 points).
There were significant periods of time where there was a lack of effort and defensive intent.
Being completely non competitive during games and for streaks of games is a problem so I would like to see how the team led by the coach can address this trend.
The guy has another 3 years to work it out but hopefully he can repay this extraordinary faith by punching a hole in this black mark next year.

I hope we see a lot of the GWS game (for three quarters) and 3rd quarter versus the Eagles type gamestyle in 2026.

Hayes-Brown looks a bit slow to me
Sammy Ryan nope.

I didn’t mind Sims for a first year hit out but we’re definitely looking a bit thin on the ground for rucks - particularly if Nank goes down

That might be the problem Andyyy. The broader worry - smallish - is that there appears to be a lot of inertia at the club at the moment in their decision making. That’s all well and good when you are killing it but when the rest of the competition starts to pull away from you then perhaps it’s time to also get an external perspective.
