Yze, who was an assistant coach at Hawthorn under Alastair Clarkson from 2012-20 for three premierships, before returning to the Demons and winning the 2021 premiership under Simon Goodwin, speaks about his own coaching philosophy and the challenges of guiding the Tigers through their own rebuild after a triple-flag era.

Yze also reveals the areas that he 'overcoaches', why he loves getting his hands dirty at training sessions, and how Neale Daniher's legacy as a coach and a person continues to shape his approach.
