Despite reports to the contrary, Hawthorn assistant coach Adem Yze remains very much in the race for Adelaide’s new coach.
Yze is expected to have a second meeting with the Crows on Wednesday night after impressing when first interviewed last Friday.
On the weekend Hawthorn announced that Yze will be its forwards coach in 2020, plus head of match day strategy and opposition, but there is a “get-out” clause included should he win a senior AFL coaching role.

Yze, 42, has been with Hawthorn since 2012 in assistant roles after a 271-game career with Melbourne from 1995-2008 which included the Keith “Bluey” Truscott medal for best and fairest in 2001, and selection in the 2002 All-Australian team.
He recently signed a new deal and will stay with Hawthorn which runs until the end of 2022.
“Adem is a highly respected assistant coach and has performed well in any portfolio he’s been assigned,” Hawks football manager Graham Wright said.
“He’ll return to coach the forwards next year but will maintain a focus on team strategy that he performed so well in in 2019.”
