Great listen, thanks for sharing
Yze on RSN sport today! Really enjoying listening to him speak.
With Newy onboard now I’d be keen to know if he’s the replacement for Mini or Clarke or if there is still someone else he has in works.
Lambo back to his development role working with the young guys could be valuable so if he goes back to that then there is still another spot to fill.

Sounds like a smart and balanced coach, and a likeable person.

Pretty much nailed it, our game plan whilst needing a few tweaks as shown by GWS and the Pies is sustainable however it has to be executed properly.Last 3 years we struggled to do even the basics right in footy defence side , execute skills , kicking , transition all we need to work on. It's refreshing to hear someone acknowledge it and understand that from outside.
As terrible as our skills were we were still able to stay in touch with the finals although never really contenders, add to that some long term injuries to key players and our coach deciding to bolster his retiremnt fund (g0od luck to him) mid season I think a good pre season could see us coming out next year looking a lot better than many think.Pretty much nailed it, our game plan whilst needing a few tweaks as shown by GWS and the Pies is sustainable however it has to be executed properly.
Our general skill level the last few years has been abysmal. Handball chains just failed because players were seemingly incapable of hitting a moving target. We suddenly started kicking to players standing still instead of kicking to space. The result was that we couldn't retain possession meaning we were constantly on the back foot.
Players who would normally run in both directions would start second guessing whether we would lose possession in transition and would be caught in no man's land leaving gaping holes across the ground where we regularly got cut to shreds on the rebound and looked slow as treacle.
I don't think it was so much that our gameplan was no longer effective, I think for one reason or another the players just forgot the basics. Yze was a skilled player and if he can increase the disposal efficiency of guys like Balta and Tarranto and focus more on our skills and fitness then suddenly the gameplan starts working again and we look much better as a team and the proven system will no doubt start bearing fruit once again.
Having high workrate team mates will make a player's kicking look better. Gotta have someone to kick to.The new coach can get players fit , full of confidence and on the same page and maybe come up with a game plan that suits the cattle he’s got.
The new coach isn’t going to be able to make our players kick better,run faster or think quicker.
West coast brought a kicking coach in about 15 years ago and had them kicking tennis balls and all these other drills and everyone got worse. They realised it was about embracing what made them elite footballers in the first place. Kicking is confidence.
If you have drafted or brought in a dodgy kick then you are stuck with it.

It as absolutely pathetic how some supporters turn on their own. A ****ing dynasty coach after 2 finals series in 3 decades.Hardwick is seemingly leaving a trail of destruction based on deceit on quite a few aspects of his life. Being fawned upon by our supporters at Cotch's 300th made me puke ! He lied to us and then the classlessness comes to the fore when he starts interfering in our club, talking about our list and poaching our staff. I hope Dusty is not gullible. Member, it was Dusty who made Hardwick, not the other way around. Sorry but he can FRO.
I've lost complete respect for him.
Welcome Yze, got a good feeling about you, you appear to be very genuine. I like that.
Hardwick, GFY.
To be a fair comparison we have to give Yze equivalent players to Cotch, Dusty, Jack and Rance to give him the same chances as Dimma of getting success.It as absolutely pathetic how some supporters turn on their own. A ******* dynasty coach after 2 finals series in 3 decades.
If we're lucky, Yze will get as a single flag.
If you're looking for a fair comparison then we have to also go back to being a basket case off the field, have horrible facilities and are the laughing stock off the comp.To be a fair comparison we have to give Yze equivalent players to Cotch, Dusty, Jack and Rance to give him the same chances as Dimma of getting success.

Did you just say newy is joining us?
How can you go past Butterscotch.What sort of Pud though?!?
That’s true, Yze isn’t starting his role with the same young talent Dimma had.To be a fair comparison we have to give Yze equivalent players to Cotch, Dusty, Jack and Rance to give him the same chances as Dimma of getting success.
serious opinion??? Of course a coach can improve players kicking skills. Mark Williams achieved marked improvement in that area when he was with us. Yze said in a recent article that he coached Petracca on their off training days to improve his kicking and feel for a kick.The new coach isn’t going to be able to make our players kick better,run faster or think quicker.

Should be noted that Yze’s first job at the Hawks was as a goal kicking coach part time before he was promoted to be a full time assistantserious opinion???

Some players will never improve if they are totally flawed, like George for instance, but others can and will. Just don’t bite off more than they can chew, like we saw with Rance.
Tailoring a player to a position and teaching him to make better decisions in pressure situations will also improve kicking skills as they’ll have instinct to do what the coach has taught them.
Not just help them improve, I reckon they will insist they improve or they won’t get a game in the seniors!Should be noted that Yze’s first job at the Hawks was as a goal kicking coach part time before he was promoted to be a full time assistant
If anyone knows how to kick a ball it’s the guy that helped develop Franklin
Newy as also had developmental roles at the Hawks
Think both of them can absolutely help some of players go back to basics and help them improve on those fundamentals

And I guess cull a bunch of our list so in round 1 we can match round 1 2010 team with talent which included Adam Thompson, McGuane, Nahas, Tambling, Hislop, Farmer, Moore, Nason, Simmonds, Thursfeild, Morton, Relton Roberts and Vickery.
Yep, poor ol' Dimma inherited the abysmal list Wallace got sacked for not taking to finals the year before!

I'm looking forward to the fresh coaching perspective, happy with the Yze appointment.
With him having been in the industry for so long, I kinda forgot how unusual his surname is until I had an 'Yze? WTF? How do you spell that!' conversation with a couple of non-footy people!
