I think all this talk on Yze is a little distorted. We don’t know the messaging behind closed doors. What we do know is that our midfield is horrendous and 1 paced. That’s not on Yze, he’s inherited this list and there are 15+ donkeys we need to turn over before we see a more competitive and consistent game style. If we aren’t winning it in the contest then we’re going to get smashed because of the lack of defensive accountability in the middle. We aren’t settled in the back half due to injuries and our forward half lacks presence and pressure. We aren’t settled going to give up big scores until the younger guys get on the paddock together and have 50 games under their belt. We knew the next few years were going to be hard but we’ve got young talent on the list and they just need time.

I f***ing love this club”

I find it strange the comments around where we find ourselves right now.

Isn't it what most on here expected?

This board is littered with comments about how hard things were going to be not only this year but for the next couple. Now we are at that point and the complaints are coming think and fast. Why?

What's changed? If we are exactly where people expected then why angst?

I'm frustrated with the last month as anyone as clearly the wheels have fallen off but if I'm being honest it not a great surprise

As for the Coach, he clearly inherited a train wreck. Take out last years draft hall.

He came in with a number of kids on the list that the previous coach (who I've lost a great deal of respect for) refused to play. Kids that deserved opportunities but weren't given them.

So not only has Yze had to fast track the development of the kids we drafted last year but the ones who got it ignored by the previous coach.

People complain about senior blokes getting games but reality is we cannot go out every week with a team full of 1st to 4th year players. I can only imagine the rhetoric on here if it was 20+ goal thrashings ever week with basically zero chance of winning. Outside of the obligatory complaints, players would get shredded, as would coaches and the entire Club.

So yesterday he made a comment in the presser that even the coaches felt flat after the Lalor Injury. What's wrong with that exactly? If that is how the box felt, then that's how they felt. It doesn't mean that they showed that disappointment to the players throughout the game.

It's called empathy and believe it or not it highlights to everyone they care about what's happened to the kid. Reckon that means more to the playing group than a bunch of coaches who come across as not caring. It is a balancing act without doubt.

He can’t coach Willy. No discernible brand from one week to the next. The senior players are getting worse - not better under him.
We are basically not competing - basic effort comes with tackling,sheperds, smothers we don’t even corral anymore.
Player positioning around the contest, getting front and square at marking contests. Really basic football IQ isn't apparent. Are we not supposed to expect those basics to be coached? He talked about mental mastery in the first month, where is it? I didn’t expect much, you are right but I think we can expect some of these rudimentary parts of the game to be deployed and noone appears to be aware to do it. That’s the coach.

I don’t disagree about the questions of brand and game style etc, but I just dont think we have the cattle or poise / competitive edge to show what our brand is yet. We’ve shown plenty against sides in the bottom half of the ladder but some sides are just way better than us and we can’t get our hands on the ball against them for long enough to show anything but panic. Like it or not, we’re year 1 into a full rebuild so we should be comparing apples to apples not kids to men.
If we’re asking the same questions in 12 months, I’m all in with the other noise.

We need new assistant coaches IMHO

Caracella, ziebell, Newman are all new, caracella obvious was there for the flags but he came back this season. Only coach that’s been there for the transition from Dimma to yze is Rutten. Otherwise it’s been a complete turnover.
Fair call but what are they doing??
Sorry, just frustrated after today’s showing, I am sure they are all very good,

Not sure as to their quality. Tbh I finished it very hard to gauge assistant coaches value as you don’t see much of them so all of the good and bad mostly gets attributed to the senior coach.

Was moreso just responding to the need for new assistant coaches when it’s pretty much a brand new group then the one we had under Dimma already.

See this is where we disagree

For the majority of the season there's been a very clear game style, well to me anyway. We just haven't been able to sustain long enough
 
I keep harping on about it but the GWS game showed me what the future holds, what our brand is going to be. Agai  IMHO it's our forward entries and set up that is,the biggest issue.  Our transition defence to forward 50 is good. Our entries are putrid and that's in part due to the youth down there

At what point do you actually put more of the blame on our senior core?

I find bewildering everyone here quick to point the finger at Yze , but not at our senior group or second tier. The last month 90% of them have been horrible poor skills, missing targets, brain fades, lack of pressure at times and missing sitters. It's not by chance the last month there has been a few beltings because of their downfall. The above are basics of footy not on coaching they are coaching killers instead.

Perhaps he has lost the senior core? Somethings definitely not clicking there.

It's part of his job to get the senior players to buy in and be his on field voices.

What we've seen is our standards plummeting by the week.
What's one stat we are good at besides clangers or dropped marks?
The senior coach is in charge of everything and with the help of the assistants must develop a team that is as competitive as possible with the list given.
Some coaches can do this and some can't for whatever reason.
Probably can't find a nicer bloke but that doesn't make great coach.
We can't even do the basics well.

When a team that is completely uncompetitive from the first bounce is on all the coaching staff but mostly the senior coach to try to get the team to compete at a higher level.

I’m still amazed we are  not last , how bad are WC. I don’t expect us to be competitive next year either  as we will loose a few so called senior duds .
We have not been competitive in the last month but I’m not surprise as most young sides lose their confidence and  become inconsistent . The coach should be asking for a competitive , never give up culture even when against the top sides at their home grounds. This should be a non negotiable.

We have no option to stay the course with recruiting and playing the kids , to bring in list cloggers to replace our supposed current list cloggers would be a recipe for another 30 years of 9th.

I’m taking my wins when I see a little development of our kids

We were pretty competitive for a patch there when our list was healthy. Now we have a bunch of outs we are just exposed horribly.

I really hope we make some bold moves this off season. We aren’t going to get better with the midfield we have, that’s a guarantee

Richmond chief forecasts the future of Yze

By Louis Van Dam
SEN
9 July 2025


The Richmond Football Club have now been presented with some decisions to make involving head coach Adem Yze with [his] contract expiring soon.

Yze, who was selected as Richmond’s coach in September 2023, has coached the Tigers for a total of 39 games with only five of them resulting in wins so far.

Despite the seemingly unimpressive record which has included some heavy losses, Yze has still been applauded for battling the adversities of the job and what he’s been able to create so far in trying circumstances.

With many outsiders believing the club would struggle to win a game this year, Yze has somewhat defied the odds as he has led the Tigers to three impressive wins over Carlton, Gold Coast and West Coast, while coming extremely close to adding another two against GWS and North Melbourne.

Yze is contracted for 2026, but what does the future hold?

Tigers CEO Shane Dunne says the club is loving what the second-year coach is doing with a young group.

“Adem’s really taking ownership of the group and the program, and we’re seeing him grow exactly as we expected he would into his first senior coaching gig,” Dunne said on SEN Breakfast.

“Adem’s halfway into his first contract, so I think it’s probably a little premature to lock in the new contract straight away.

“We’re delighted with the way Adem’s going, no doubt we’ll continue to evaluate that over the coming weeks and months.

“At a point in time where we think we’ve seen enough and he continues to do everything that we’re expecting of him, I’m sure we’ll work with his management and get that done, I see Adem as our long-term coach.

“We’re taking a long-term view, while we want to win each and every week, we’ve also got an eye to the future, we’re developing talent and bringing them through and trying to teach them the game plan that’s ultimately going to win us finals matches.”

Yze’s plan has evidently been to fast track the youth, as the Tigers have moved from an experienced list to now the second youngest list in the competition within a couple of years, due to eight debutants this year alone, with Taj Hotton looking another to likely add to the tally soon.

---------------------------

“Adem continues to evolve and grow as a coach. He's one and a half years into his first gig as a senior coach and it's a rejuvenating side,” Dunne said on SEN.

“We’ve changed the list profile, even from last year to this year, and, we've got young players and talent coming through, but Adem's really taken ownership of the group and the program.

“We're seeing him grow exactly as we expected he would in his first senior coaching gig.

“We give Adem stuff regularly and he's continuing to grow and make this role his own. We're delighted with the way Adem's going.

“I see Adem as our long-term coach, we're seeing everything that we had hoped we would see from Adem, and he's continued to grow into the role.”
