No reason to rush this for another 12 months or so but the way he's going I'd consider him a lock for an extension. Boys seem to really enjoy playing for him and I think the assistants he has are helping a lot too.

There is no way next season starts without yze getting an extension. It just doesn’t happen that a coach starts a season without a contract for the next or it very rarely does and in those cases it just turns into a media circus.

Yze on selection pressure, Blight and Rioli

By Luke Sicari
Richmond Media
18 June 2025


Richmond coach Adem Yze has affirmed how he believes “selection integrity is really important”, as the Tigers get set to begin the second half of their 2025 campaign.

Speaking in a mid-season members update video, Yze explained how the Club doesn’t plan on gifting games to players before they’re ready.

“We want to give some exposure to our younger players, but at the same time, we are not just going to gift players AFL games if they’re not ready,” Yze said.

“I feel like selection integrity is really important at a footy club. I want Kamdyn McIntosh to feel he has got the exact same opportunity to play as Luke Trainor.

“In doing that, it creates pressure and selection pressure, which creates high level performance.”

Two players who are in strong VFL form are Maurice Rioli Jr and Jacob Blight, and Yze discussed the situation both are facing in regards to selection.

Rioli has played five senior games this season, but has starred in his past two VFL appearances, spending time in the midfield, collecting 25 disposals against GWS and 17 disposals against Sydney, while applying strong pressure in both contests.

Yze detailed how consistent blocks of impressive VFL performances will benefit Rioli, comparing his current predicament to that of Tyler Sonsie earlier this year.

“He (Rioli) has been one of the guys I have felt for, he came in and played as the sub, and then one of the other games he got subbed out pretty early,” Yze said.

“You can fall into that process of playing AFL footy but not getting high game time. Right now, he is getting an opportunity to play midfield time and forward at VFL level and he is starting to become a really consistent VFL player.

“We did the same with Tyler Sonsie. He played a few early season games but was sort of in and out, sub one week, played two and a half quarters another week, so it’s hard to create consistency if you’re in that mode.

“Sonsie went back and played high level VFL footy for a month and was ready to play. So right now, I feel he is in a better position because of what he did in the VFL.

“Maurice is going through exactly that right now, he has played two really strong VFL games, eventually he will just break the door down and when he does, we feel he will be in a better position to hold his spot.”

Yze had a similar message for Blight, who hasn’t played in the AFL side since Round 6, but has been in outstanding VFL form, including winning the Sir Doug Nicholls Trophy, being named best on ground in the Dreamtime win over Essendon.

“He (Blight) would be getting frustrated right now but so are a lot of our VFL boys, we have a lot of key position boys that are in good form,” Yze said.

“Right now, Ben Miller is in probably the best form of his career, Noah Balta’s in the team, and Campbell Gray probably just pipped him for his opportunity a couple of weeks ago.

“He will get another look at AFL footy, Blighty, and eventually he will just break the door down. All I’ve been preaching to him is good VFL form is showing that you’re improving.

“He walked through the doors 18 months ago as a mid-season pick-up and he is learning the game, he is getting better every game and understanding what’s required to be a really strong AFL player.

“We understand what we will get if we do bring him back into the team, he has just got to bide his time and play consistent footy.

“He is a great kid, he does everything right, and hopefully when he does come back in, he stays in."

How debutants have impressed Yze

By Luke Sicari
RFC website
18 June 2025


The Tigers have had seven debutants throughout 2025, as the Club’s new journey has gotten off to an exciting start.

Speaking in a mid-season members update video, coach Adem Yze explained how all of the Tiger Cubs have impressed him, while also breaking down the key attributes of Sam Lalor and Luke Trainor, who have been cemented their spots in the senior side.

“They all have (impressed) in their own unique way,” Yze said.

“We have got some big boys, which for key position players it normally does take a little bit longer, but with where our list is at right now, they’ve gotten some opportunity at AFL level. They’ve taken it in their stride.

“Sammy Lalor has come in and looks like he belongs on an AFL field but what’s impressed me is his training standards, his leadership and care for his teammates.

“Lukey Trainor is a ball of energy and has really impressed me with the ability to play, he has played in all three lines, we have moved him forward in a couple of games, he has played wing now, and we know what he can do down back.”

Richmond sits 17th on the ladder heading into Round 15, winning three games from 13 appearances.

Despite the infusion of youth into the list, Yze vows winning and climbing the ladder remains extremely important.

“We are not content with where we sit. We know what the outside noise is and where the predictions were with where we are going to finish, but we are still trying to grow and climb,” he said.

“We are not happy where we are, we are still second last on the ladder. We are trying to fight our way back up the ladder and fast track the development of our younger players.”

Yze was on AFL360 last night.


* We'll review the game tomorrow (today Tuesday). We just lost our way in the second quarter. We lost contests & territory and then you can't get it out of your back end.

* Tried a few things. When you're an experienced team, the players can adhere to that pretty quickly. However, with an inexperienced team it's really hard to do that.

* We had the same issue against the Giants in the last quarter although being the last quarter there's anxiety around that. The risk being the second quarter is the players may feel there's time to get back and you don't have that anxiety (I think Yze was more referring to urgency or lack of).

* Felt on Sunday there was a little bit of miscommunication with that we wanted compared to what he was seeing out there on the ground. Why he went down and coached from the bench in the second half. If he feels there's some disconnect and drop in spirit and energy then Yze will go down to the bench.

* Response in the second half was ok (in terms of contest numbers, inside 50s) but the second quarter wasn't good enough.

So what's the actual gameplan? . One minute it looks like Knights at the Bummers - except we're too unco & slow, next minute it looks like Clarko's cluster - except we can't kick and with an extra 10 metres space given to the oppo when we don't have it, 5 minutes later it's Wallace's "basketball crap"  complete with basketball style defending & "corralling"  (ie arm waving & ball watching)- but again we can't kick and have no targets, then it reverts to Malthouse's take the long way home boundary hugging which also requires the footskills and marking & presenting ability we lack  before finally we get to Hardwick's Tiger Tornado -sans the pace,pressure and ability to stick tackles. It's just an incoherent hodge podge each style more ill-fitting & outdated than the last, bit like Melbourne's weather.- don't like it just wait 5 minutes and it'll get even worse. :banghead

The last 3 games has looked very slow tempo. The couple of games we won there was dash and dare....is player confidence and issue ATM? The way the player keep fumbling and slipping over is frustrating.

We just don’t have the skill for any game plan to be successful.
‘17-‘20 playing a fast paced get it forward game still relied on high skill level, especially with fast and accurate hands clearing contests. Atm out of stoppage we have hopper who slams the ball onto his foot without even looking up and Taranto and Ross aren’t much better.

We don’t have the class… yet.

Gotta pray they smillie, Hotton, Lalor really come on. But as we all know it’s going to be a coupla years at best

is tackling a game plan or a simple thing that no one seems to be able to do.

FMD. I would like him to at least come out and say we want our players to be able to pressure on the opp and start sticking some stuffn tackles.

like watching aflw out there which includes senior players as well.

Exactly. There is no excuse for being consistently poor at tackling and pressure. That's not a skill issue.

Whatever the gameplan, we look tired and lacking in energy. Compared to the game vs GWS, it’s almost like a different team.
Nank looks like he’s carrying something. If so, rest him.
