Adem Yze is our new coach [merged]

Interesting that Matthew Knights not in the mix

Maybe the Essendum experience burnt him too badly.

Mini said he has his interview next week.

Hopefully it’s an exit interview

Knights wanted the coaching job when dimma got it . When they chose Dimma, knights cracked it

[TigerLand]

We can comfortably cross Gia off the list. Essendon are a shambles, don't touch anything tarnished with their filth.

Newman, Mini or Yze.

McQualter said he would turn his attention to preparing for his interview with club officials after this week’s season-ending clash with Port Adelaide.

McQualter is one of a small pool of candidates including Melbourne assistant coach Adem Yze, and former Richmond captain Chris Newman, for the coaching role.

He said the final round performance would have no bearing on his chances.

“It’s important for the team, but it’s not important for me, at all,” he said

“I’ve said this all along. Our job here is to coach players to be competitive and win games of football. The group is driven .. .to bring the energy.”

Yep, it seems to be narrowing by the day.

The sad reality is whoever gets the gig is more likely to be the overseer of our rebuild rather than the next coach to achieve success with us. Unless we get some significant out of the blue internal improvement from a number of our existing cubs, we are going to have to take a step or two back before going forward.

I am happy to sit back and wait before judging the potential of the team.

There’s been a few clubs written off before (including us) which have literally jumped out of the ground the following year.

The biggest issue I see is that list management seems out of whack with gameplan. That was what we fixed in the off season of 2016 and it’s why I think we need someone completely new.

The right game plan for the current talent and with the support of the leadership in place I think we can make ground again fairly quickly.

Interesting that we approached Yze to apply for the role.

I agree with MT, there might be a few that will surprise us , but we are a victims of our own success , the  lower the pick the less likely that pick will be a good player.
The new coach might need to start the rebuild / development  whether they like it or not ,
I hope we don’t just top up with rejects which is recipe for 9th for the next 30 years

I'd actually argue that over the last 10 years we've been better with our later picks than we have with early ones

We certainly seem to nail the rookie picks 

[camboon]

You may, as our latter picks have given better results for  the majority of our early picks, but the odds are your more likely to get a better player the earlier the pick,

[TigerLand]

Agree with WP our ability to develop the workhorses has been excellent. It's our first rounders who have failed to come on.

[camboon]

That’s what I said ,it’s not the latter picks it’s the early that we are not getting right but the odds say we should, whys that?

[pmac21]

Anyone watch GWS tonight?  There pressure is immense and manic. 
Goes to show what a new coach can do.

[TigerLand]

In fairness GWS should be miles better. Full credit but they've under achieved since 2019 enormously.
