Adem Yze is our new coach [merged]

[one-eyed]

The Demons congratulated Yze on his appointment at Punt Road.

Melbourne general manager of AFL football performance Alan Richardson said Yze had “a profound impact” on the club during his time at the Demons.

“Adem has had a significant impact on our football program since joining the club three years ago,” Richardson said.

“His ability to read the game and the direction he was able to provide our players and coaches was first class, and we are thrilled to see him get this opportunity.

“On behalf of everyone at the club, we would like to wish Adem and his family all the very best for the future.”

Remember Yze as a good player- a clever player. I think it is a bonus he was an assistant under Clarkson. I think it was the right decision to get an outsider.

Will give him some time to settle but the real change is needed with our list and assistant coaches imo. Keen to see who will want to jump on board now

Any idea what happens with Mini. Personally think it'd be awkward for Yze to come work for the guy who was in charge for 6 months, failed to get the job now works under him.

He said at his final pre match presser I think it was that if he didn't get the gig he wouldn't stay as it would be unfair on the person coming initially he did (posted this a few posts back BTW).

Say what you like shout him as a coach but he's carried himself with class all the way through IMHO

He was the Albanian Mattie Knights, one sided, classy but ultimately an offensive weapon for his team.
Knighter coached as his played, let’s hope Yze doesn’t fall for the same 2 card trick.

By the sounds of it he’s tactically brilliant so the only questions have been about his persona as a coach. He comes across as a caring and endearing person… can’t wait to see more.

Mini must be gutted, but I think we need a new message and assistant cleanout

Been fantastic. Just read he will depart the club.

Integral to our success, will no doubt be successful elsewhere but I believe we made the right call as a new voice and era begins. All the best Mini.

From Barrett's 'Sliding Doors' column:

IF ...
Kate Bush and Peter Gabriel once combined to turn a particular song into a chart-topping success ...

THEN ...
Adem Yze may have embraced it as his motivation. After 43 second placings - well, maybe not that many, but a lot - he's secured a senior coaching gig. Yes, I know the lyrics don't quite line up with his story. But the title does, and I love his refusal to stop trying. Don't Give Up.

He has a good sense of humour

[Simonator]

Sounds like there will be some new assistant coaches. Spoke fondly about Ratten. Worked with newman at hawks too.. wonder if he will jump on board as an assistant.

Watching that press conference - Adem looks so much like Tom Hafey in the face . Once you see it you can’t unsee it 😂

Very impressive- to live in the past you die in the present ❤️

Are there any details around how long hes actually signed on for ? Would be an indicator of the clubs confidence
