Trying everything out which is good to see before he settles down from next season.Funny the differing coaching style or at least the approach to team selections.
Under Beavis there were basically no late changes ever.
Team named Thursday night pretty much played as selected.
Now we get late outs.
Boobsy, Hopp last round.
Asto, Optimus this week.
Brave new world.
Welcome to coaching Ooze.
You’re right about that , could count late changes on one hand thru a season, now every weekFunny the differing coaching style or at least the approach to team selections.

Bears first.I hope he sticks to his guns and doesn't cave in to the immense pressure.
Reckon we have a gem but I just hope he can handle the blowtorch as I reckon it's coming from the fickle media.
1 God. 3 out and outs. One injury prone champion. Another 200 game half back. One monolith. 2 very very smart footballers. Rioli. Brando. Don't forget Bachar who matured into a champion.2- Chimp
3- Dusty
7- Caddy (we traded a pick in the 20s for him)
9- Prestia (we traded pick 6)
9- Vlastuin
11-Lynch (free agent)
13- Jack
15- D.Rioli
15- Brando
18- Rance
19- Grigg (we traded Andy Collins for him)
He is from shepp . ExpectedI've read some players saying he swears a bit so you'd expect him to be a hard nut behind closed doors. Watching Fly speak, I'm glad we don't have that psychological type as coach.
Dont forget the Swans had down years. Cats not so much, was it one? Helped by the f/s hawkins and 2 stars the traded for.The club obviously thought we could continue to compete like Geelong and the Swans. Unfortunately Matt Clarke proved to be no Stephen Wells or Kinnear Beatson. We will have to bottom out like Hawthorn has.
We must nail the next draft. I think I have more confidence in Seth being a good AFL player than any of the 2021 draftees other than Gibcus.
Dimmas dirty doodle.Just watched the 2020 GF 2nd half again and couldn't believe the synergy we had then. Balta ruck tap straight to Duz. Midfield worked well together. Cohesion around the ground was strong. WTF happened that summer for us to fall down quickly in 2021?
The new coach inherited an absolute train wreck of a list - thanks Hardwick - with some major changes that continue from the top to the bottom of the club.Reckon it might be a short coaching career if he keeps selecting Banks and Rioli
Seriously !!! WTF
Yeah like winning games and running 9th ????.I didn't want McQuack Quack but at least he had us winning games.
What's Yze's style?
Chip the ball, we can't hit targets
100%The new coach inherited an absolute train wreck of a list - thanks Hardwick - with some major changes that continue from the top to the bottom of the club.
He is four games into his coaching tenure and I believe his eyes are wide open as to what he has to work with in the short term (hamstrung by another run of atrocious injuries and an AFL manipulated fixture pitting the Tigers against top 4 contenders early days), with a view I’m sure of finding some kind of balance onfield while giving opportunities to most, if not all that was left in the cupboard before his arrival. Some of whom will be gone by seasons end.
I’m more than happy to watch his evolution as a coach in 2024 - and see what sort of foundation he lays down for season 2025 and beyond.
He will .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.
Yze doesn’t have the young talent already on the list that Hardwick had (Cotchin, Martin, Riewoldt, Rance, Edwards etc). It will take multiple years of top 10 picks to accumulate a group of kids we can build our next finals side around. All the while, Yze will have to deal with an aging top end of the list and likely further declining win/loss ratio. As I said, history shows new coaches don’t usually survive that scenario.
