Interesting to see if Melbourne going out in straight sets two years in row will affect Yze's chances. It shouldn't as he is their midfield/stoppage coach and not responsible for their chokers up in their forward line.
For me, whoever the new coach is will need to totally rejig our gameplan and re-educate our players on the basics especially defensively. Win, lose or draw, we need to get back to protecting the defensive side of stoppages and contests as well as improving our tackling technique.
It's hard to know from the outside what conversations and presentations have been given during the coaching selection process. If Mini was hampered by taking over the team midseason from making major gameplan changes in-season and has promised to introduce them over the upcoming preseason then fair enough. However, Mini shouldn't get the gig if he wants us basically playing the same way next year as this year.
Interesting to see if an announcement comes soon now.
Presumably it will be during the week after the Grand Final, so the announcement gets the maximum media attention.
