I'd be happy with another year but reckon it will be 2

Not convinced.

Has lowered the standards way too low and if not addressed can spell disaster for over 20 years.

Not sold on him being the coach for us but in saying that i acknowledge he needs time. I also acknowledge hes had some serious injury problems since he has been there. So definately jury out for me. Reckon 1 year extension is okay.


To be honest im not even sure we improved this year on last year despite winning 5 games.

[Francois Jackson]

I think we will know more  once he completes another 2 seasons.

If we don't keep improving as we did under Dimma he Is gone and  so he should.

Also  a lot of his success depends on our draft haul last year.

It’s hard though because I don’t think our improvement will be so linear. We might dip a bit next year as we give more game time to the young mids, our experienced players in vlastuin, broad etc might get worse, then we rely on the likes of brown to step up and get better.

Adem Yze’s contract

“The third part I want to hit on is Adem Yze.”

“He enters 2026 without a deal beyond that year – his initial three-year contract ends next year. They haven’t started any discussion just yet, they will contemplate that over the off-season, they will review his year like they will the whole footy department.

“I wonder if this is one that gets done before Round 1 next year.”

Yze’s contract expires at the end of 2026, but Dunne said the board will explore extending the 47-year-old for another year or two before the start of next season, although those discussions haven’t commenced yet.

“We will certainly contemplate that [an extension] this off-season, but that is just part of our annual review. We’ve seen good growth in Adem, as much as we have in the playing group,” he said.

“The important thing is we are seeing from Adem what we saw throughout the recruitment process. All those things we were checking and exploring throughout the recruitment process we are seeing come to fruition. That’s the thing for me. we tested exactly what we wanted from a coach and now we are seeing it.

“We will go through a really thorough feedback process with Adem, as we do every year. We bring in feedback and ideas from all different sources and give that to Adem. I’m sure we will contemplate the contract at that time or post that. We are seeing all the right signs from Adem. The players are engaged and can see the vision. That’s the most important part. It’s ultimately then what’s in the best interests of the club.”

Extension nearing for Tigers coach

Richmond senior coach Adem Yze is in line to sign an extension beyond 2026, club president John O'Rourke confirmed, but he conceded the Tigers are in "no rush" to have Yze locked in for 2027.

After a slow start with the club, Yze's tenure rapidly picked up momentum in 2025 as the Tigers stunningly recorded five wins on the season - unimpressive on the surface but widely viewed as an overachievement given their young and inexperienced playing list.

The year included a famous win over Gold Coast against ex-Richmond premiership coach Damien Hardwick, and three losses by single digits, highlighting that the club may not be as far away from a return to Finals contention as many pundits anticipated.

Speaking to Herald Sun's Lauren Wood, O'Rourke highlighted how Yze has laid the foundations for a successful rebuild for the Punt Road based outfit, seeing him as the long-term option for the side.

"He's contracted for next year, but we're very happy with Adem. We're going through the normal review process that we want to do every year, and that's been positively worked through," O'Rourke said.

"He is thriving on the feedback and putting things in place to make sure that he is our next premiership coach, and that's what we want from him."

However, the club's focus remains on a strong pre-season build into 2026, meaning Yze's looming extension isn't at the forefront - for now.

"I think you will hear more about an extension in time. We're not there yet but those conversations have started," O'Rourke said.

"Adem's in a good place, so I've got no doubt he's going to be a longer-term coach for Richmond, but we'll get to that in due course. There's no urgency."
