I feel for Yze. It’s going to get worse before it gets better and historically, new coaches don’t survive long enough to see things turn around.
With proper recruiting I reckon we'll see success quicker under him than what we saw under Dimma.I feel for Yze. It’s going to get worse before it gets better and historically, new coaches don’t survive long enough to see things turn around.

Hardwick came in at rock bottom. In 2009 we finished 15th with 5 wins. Hardwick improved the win/loss record every single season from 2010-2013.Our recent history is Hardwick
Yep, we haven’t plumbed the depths yet of a serious rebuild. Whilst we all know that loading up on the next 2 drafts is critical for our future it is going to come at a price and that is being uncompetitive in the majority of games we play for the next few years.I feel for Yze.

I don’t come hear for balanced, measured boring views.Too early to call on Yze
Our defensive transition is so poor. Another function of our slow midfield. When I call Ross a plodder, I mean he can't catch anyone. Neither can the lame Taranto, Dow, Dusty or even Bakes.I think he should be ok. He’s learning exactly what he’s got underneath him. Which isn’t much.
Having said that, he’s got a couple of things to improve upon himself.
The first one is team selection. He keeps playing guys that shouldn’t be in the team eg Dow and Banks.
The second one is defensively. I knew this would happen but it’s going to be worse than I thought. We can’t (won’t ?) tackle, and if we do, they don’t stick.
Marshall and Dixon took 10 uncontested marks between them yesterday and kicked 6.5. Lucky they were inaccurate. Simple lead up marks a la Ugle-Hagen. They hardly take a contested mark those two, so all we needed to do was make sure we had someone in the channel between ball and them. But we didn’t. One easy, lead up mark after another yesterday in open space.
He’s got some work to do on a defensive front.

Tell your story walking pal.
Clear difference in game plan AA. Greater focus on contested ball and clearances...I haven't seen any sign of a new game plan or major change from last year but that's OK, I'm gonna give Yze the season to bed it down, whatever "it" is.
Soft. 2 week PRE suspension. Thank you mods.My guilty confession is that I haven't watched a full game yet so stand corrected.
Agree. Sounds like a Scumwood bandwagoner.......and there's a lot of those.Soft. 2 week PRE suspension.
Agree with all of your takes; I was popping off more due to my synapses firing up as a result of my double espresso than your comment.hehehe yeah fair 76er.
To expound further in the same banal and sensible manner - we are a weird combo of aging champs, some top end talent, and raw untried and possibly mediocre rookies - plus a few good ordinary types eg Jack Ross, Mansell, MRJ, Miller. Injuries haven't helped our cause. I feel if we had everyone fit and firing we can still beat anyone, we saw that with Port and Carlton but couldn't sustain it for four quarters. On the other hand with our injuries and throwing the young fellas in we could easily get smashed, Sydney might yet to that this week.
