Not my usual source of information, but heard from a source in Melbourne that some Hawthorn players are now aware that Yze has the job.
Strategy Our Next Senior Coach: 2019 & Beyond... is Matthew Nicks

So it appears it’s down to Harvey vs Nicks going by Harvey’s comments (which he surely must’ve known would’ve been filmed by someone).
Seems to contradict what Harvey said in that video though... tbh, who knows!

lol, my mates uncle knows yze's dad and he told me he has it.
Might not be 100% accurate, but that is what I was told. The person who told me was confident enough to lay a bet on it.
Was surprised he was so forthcoming. Crows wouldn’t like that.

If you listen again Harvey says near the end that he isn't sure if it's down to the last two
Collingwood box has been pretty static, worked through a rebuild, very unlucky not to get a flag in 2018.
They’ve done ok.
How confident are you on that? Yze is still 5:1 on sportsbet.
would you whack 10K on it?
I don’t think you can put that much on a coaches race
Was $10
Ok I'll explain it to you.
The first half of my sentence said:
"Its either still to be decided"
So, if they are genuine, as Harvey believes, then the AFC have a competitive process and hasn't made a decisions as yet. It could go either way, and Harvey may well end up as coach.
The second half of my sentence said:
"Or they are wasting Harvey's time"
In the case where the AFC are not actually genuine about their meetings Harvey, ie they've actually already made their decision, and are just reached out to for whatever reasons. Then this doesn't help anyone and its a waste of Harvey's time. Why would this happen? Well this happens a lot, especially with the Adelaide crows. Previous applicants have stated that they didn't believe the interview process was genuine and that the AFC had already decided on their person. The administration would want to atleast appear like they've spoken to everyone and often in these sorts of recruitment processes, you get senior people popping up saying you have to speak to XXXX. The AFC would then go through the motions to make sure the hiring process was thorough, objective and that they spoke to everyone that was recommended.
I don't actually know which way it is. However, getting a late call to interview for the very first time last Wednesday sounds a little fishy.
Was just an arbitary number really.
No was am I risking that much from a guy on a forum that heard it from his mates brothers uncles sisters son who is apparently Yze's dad.
My preferences in order are Harvey, Nicks, Yze and then burns. Wouldn't be disappointed with either of the first 3

I mean it was 10-1 so he’s come in
I think Harvey is a ripper bloke but has never struck me as senior coach material; can I ask why he is #1 on your list?
(I was hoping Harvs had decided senior coaching wasn't for him, and we'd been talking to him about becoming Footy GM)

Why don’t you just give up
Seriously
I just read up about him especially Eades comments about him being ready to coach. His exact words were he gives very strong feedback, he actually develops good relationships and he is very good at his craft. I was also interested how he said his public persona at times is very quiet and he doesn't project himself but he is not like that in his coaching. Also read somewhere about pendlebury praising him saying that he has good tactical awareness.

Walked into a premiership team though.
There's nothing to say he will be soft, how can we know whether Nicks or Yze are tough coaches?
