Coach Adem Yze [merged]

I hope I am wrong.
Let’s see how we all feel about this time next year.
On Yze, I think he is doing an okay job so far. Not awful, not amazing. I don’t think that warrants another 3 years that’s all.
I accept that might be harsh to some but it’s a view based on evidence of on field performance. Not just win/loss but % and number of heavy losses our ability to change course in games - i mentioned the norf game.
I don’t think we should be reacting on “industry standard” either.
Look at Freo, they put Longmuire - he’s not even under contract - on staff. That’s actually a great idea and a very progressive approach.
If they (and we) are so confident, why not do that? Protects us if something goes wrong.

I just think there’s a better way to manage it.

Wasnt it a 2 year extension, not 3?

HRT, what is it that you're seeing in the footy field that makes you disagree about Yze being a long term option?

Positives
Calm
*Good at relationship building - he’s clearly a good guy which helps build trust
*Game plan when on is good
*Good at communication


Negatives
* Too one note on game day. Was good vs Blues r1 but very little adjusted overall which I think is an open watch given where he came from
* I have seen little or no growth in our younger players - Ross, HRS, Balta, Short etc. He also lost 4 very good players last year - good coaches attract talent.

Watch outs
* Will he develop cubs to become elite talent?
* Will he be able to get top tier talent adjust their own game for role ie. Dimma with Cotchin
* Can he change game momentum more regularly when things go against us. We completely go to water too often and too easily(% was 66 last season)
* Is he strong enough to make some tough decisions on team selection- the whole carousel of dropping fringe players when our most experienced kept getting played bothers me. Exhibit A - KMac plays 23 games and then delisted. Like seriously WTF? It took until October to realise this or did we give him a Dave Warner arm chair ride in his farewell season. Either way, doesn’t sit comfortably with me that behaviour is building a premiership side.

Look at the age demographics of top 10 in our B&F this year. It’s a worry compared to other younger clubs and must change by this time next year otherwise we will be a huge hole.

Some of may sound harsh but there it’s my take and if it doesn’t change by this time next year than we won’t be any better off - he’s effectively now in year 1 of a 3 year contract again so no more training wheels for me.
