So all these picks that Gold Coast are collecting for 2022 is for Clarkson. Is Dew a caretaker coach?
Yes. As I posted earlier, they already have the picks to monster a very good 2022 draft. They don’t need more. They have freed up salary cap and will be in a super position to retain King, Rankine and Lukosius. Even if Lukosius declares he wants to come to Port, at the end of next year, I can’t see anyway it gets done. They don’t need picks. We wont cough up players of equal value.

Their trading this year had a clear purpose of strengthening the fort for the attack that will come from Port, Adelaide and St Kilda (for King). If they replace Dew with Clarkson, that fort will be impenetrable.

Definitive dead bat

History Lesson on Clarkson:

1. He left Port where he was an assistant, during the 2004 finals, to get ready for the 2004 draft. I believe this is the first time in history that an assistant has left a premiership winning team during the finals to take up another post. Unheard of before and I think since.

2. He did so to attack the 2004 draft, where he got Roughhead, Franklin and Lewis.

3. But he also retained the gems from earlier drafts- Hodge, Mitchell, Brown (2001), Sewell (2002).

4. He does not trade out good players under 30 yo, let alone under 23.

5. His preferred forward set up was Roughhead Franklin Rioli

If Clarkson goes to GC, history may repeat, especially given how strong next year’s draft is supposed to be.

1. He will be in place well before the draft

2. He already has a strong hand for 2022- one first round pick (likely 1-4); 3 second round picks (likely high); 2 third round picks; 2 fourth round picks

3. He will do everything he can to retain King, Lukosius and Rankine.

4. He does not trade players like King, Lukosius and Rankine

5. King Lukosius Rankine has a Roughhead Franklin Rioli feel about it

The only way you would get Lukosius from Clarkson is from his cold dead hand.

Except Lukosius will be uncontracted. So might not matter what he wants
