I was hoping you'd chime in Taz, im sure you would of heard Tim speak on many occasions, whats the vibe you get from him? Has it changed recently as in do you feel he throws his weight around more, has more influence than he maybe should?one of the more ridiculous takes I have read TBH.
Livo will be relaying messages from ALL the assisant / line coaches to the bench, not a role you would want your senior coach doing
Fair post. Yze needs to do his job without his boss looking over his shoulder. May be wrong but don't think Dimma had Livo in the box next to him.
Yep, and Ooze also said earlier this year that he wants Livo in the box to assess the coaches are all operating properly.Livo used to often do the exact same role under Dimma i.e. relay messages from coaches to the players.
He did it predominantly (but not always) from the bench, wired up to the coaches box.
From what Leysy understands the only change is he is moreso stationed in the box now and delivers to the same messages to the players from there.
Hardly any difference. Mountain out of a molehill.
Anyone who knows anything about him will know he will be giving nothing but support and won't ever impede on the coaches role and decisions.
Livo is an excellent operator. As you say the calls from the Peanut Gallery to remove him are as crazy as they come.Yep, some bizarre irrational takes (even for PRE) that are a million miles from reality.
Livo is now not just influencing selection, but making in game moves Bahahaha! Hilarious!
Did Yze have a choice?Yep, and Ooze also said earlier this year that he wants Livo in the box to assess the coaches are all operating properly.
He specifically requested it.Did Yze have a choice?
Barney "Livo" Rubble in the passenger seat
Has anyone seen Yze react in the coaches box maybe even talk to Livo?one of the more ridiculous takes I have read TBH.

Don’t mean he chose itHe specifically requested it.
Nope he’s the one drivingBarney "Livo" Rubble in the passenger seat
Sicily said straight after the match that he went forward because he was injured and didn’t want to be a liability in the backline.Yep
Sicily ring a bell ?
Coaches have to be daring , not conservative!!!
Vluastin played forward for a quarter last year
He also played on ball early in his career
Kicked 3 goals against West Coast early in his career
Facts.Intercepts- Richmond:65
Freo: 59.
Intercepts- Ryan: 9
Vlastuin-9
Hang on, I thought Livo's sole responsibility was to stop Cumberland getting a senior game.one of the more ridiculous takes I have read TBH.

Livingstone always sat on the bench with Dimma in the box .Fair post. Yze needs to do his job without his boss looking over his shoulder. May be wrong but don't think Dimma had Livo in the box next to him.
Agree you can't judge Yze at the moment.Yze can't be judged as a coach at the moment. When he has a better list of players available then we can start judging him but even then it will take time for him to put his stamp on the team.
2025 will really start telling the story
The two things that I am looking for this year is continuing effort which has been generally good with a few lapses but is going to get harder as time goes by, and whether he will make hard decisions later in the season. For example is he willing to play bigger names in the VFL if he sees that they don't fit the longer term plan?
Yes, effort has to remain high. Clearly they got a rocket at halftime on Sunday because the 3rd quarter was much better and being at the ground you could see they were gassed in the last.Agree you can't judge Yze at the moment.
However, the players response over the next 6-8 weeks will give us a indication of his coaching ability. Sunday was the first time this season the players played selfish football. Dimma in first season lost the first 9 games, then started to turn it around.
I'm keenly watching the next 2 months. This will start to show how good or not Yze is as a coach. We cannot defend the corridor like that again, otherwise we will be blown away with the cattle we've got. Defending the corridor is still the key defence mechanism of all teams, in any era, or ability.
He aren't good enough to tie Balme shoe laces. Livingstone and Gale we're the ones who told him 2024 is your last year. In our current state you tell me a calming influence, experience operator and man with wealth of experience in Balme can't help our football department puzzling and he wanted to go on.Livo is an excellent operator. As you say the calls from the Peanut Gallery to remove him are as crazy as they come.
