I reckon even when the Tassie team comes in he will be sitting at home whenever possible on the couch with a beer cheering the Tiges on.

A genuine question so far..is Adem developing a game plan that will win finals?
In year one of our tenure our pressure gauge was poor.
Sure some personnel was missing but too sporadically our pressure & tackling was well down too. This used to be our strength. It deserted us.
Sure hope he's paying attention this finals series.
More scrutiny will come this year.

No would be my view. Let’s see what 2025 looks like with touch wood, healthy list and injection of elite talent, albeit young.
Interesting question. Key training drills (and there are at least 3 separate drills) focus on pressure and two way running. These became more apparent in the last 2 months of the season, specifically the 2 way running drills. There was one pressure drill that was run during pre-season and the early season and then dropped later in the year.
But to my view these drills in the last couple of months were more teaching drills. I got/get the impression that the coaching team knows they need a transition and need to teach the new gameplan (gameplan phases) in bits and almost more in prep for next year. (That's how it came across to me at least.)
Up until the last month there was a couple of tackling drills every main session. As @caesar discussed with me, given the AFL/AFLPA position on head knocks heavy tackling/contact training is limited to (I believe) 20 minutes or so per week.
Interesting that a couple of players (notably Sam Banks) would do specific tackling drills once training had concluded. So it is a focus at least for some.
No concern for me we had a few bad apples in senior players not on the same page see ya later.
This is a silly question after the season we’ve had
Folks need to treat it as Hardwick’s last year, or what should’ve been the last
Clean out has only just begun. Yze begins with clear air in 2025
I get this, and I agree with it to a point, but it does put pressure on Yze to deliver something a bit different next season.
I'm wondering if even Ooze knew this about Duz going by his statement on AFL360 when he said he prefers players announce during the season that they want to leave the club ala NRL players.
Hawthorn took 68 games to somewhat embed their gameplan. Far too soon to be making that judgement on Yze.
As hard as it will be, next year we want to finish bottom 3 again.
I expect 2027 we will start to see the fruits of our rebuild.

Oh we will. I'll be surprised if we don't end up dead last again.
Interesting reading about Mitchell’s pitch to Hawks Board about that game plan……might be just a fancy way of saying we want to get games into the young blokes, but sounds like it was a pretty positive plan to focus on 23 year and under players and develop a specific game plan around that group. Never liked Mitchell as a player, but always thought he’d be a pretty sharp coach and it’s panning out that way.
Have it on good authority some players have struggled connecting with Yze. Hopefully it’s something he can develop and get better at.
Which? He seems to get on well with most especially the kids.
