[krakouers]

Why is Jordan Russell with us?

You remember that kid that no one liked that would always follow you?

 

[Roo202]

You know you're going badly when you say something so ridiculous even Caro and McClure call you out on it rather than joining in for another pile on against North.

Fair back down to first claim it was widely touted as a coaching "dream team" to then be begging to have it acknowledged that there was maybe "a fair bit of positivity" around the coaching team

If you don't remember him you were him.

 

[Themanbun]

I can vibe with the no part timers approach. I imagine it gets pretty messy.

He’s a ********.

Full time professionals only please. We’ve got pros actually running the joint now, need 100% buy in from the orange peeler up.

Btw if we’re keeping Russell maybe he’s actually ok? Has a bit to work with but our midfield is a strong line, relatively. Also thought our forward line started to look much better structured once Clarko came back. Patch goes alright imo.

So defence, development (x2?), plus a new senior assistant must be added/promoted? Lynch is doing ok with VFL, leave him there? Anyone have any insight?

AFL Senior Coach: Alastair Clarkson
Assistant Coach Defence: TBC
Assistant Coach Midfield: Jordan Russell
Assistant Coach Forwards: Leigh Adams
Assistant Coach: TBC
Assistant Coach: TBC
Ruck Coach: Damian Monkhurst
Head of Development: TBC
VFL Senior Coach/Development Coach: Tom Lynch
Development Coach: TBC
Development Coach: Emma Kearney

Assistant Coach Defence and Head of Development are the two big ones for me. Our coaching staff have always been a bit underwhelming but with Clarko in charge surely that changes now. I hope he can do something similar to what he did at Hawthorn with the likes of Beveridge, Hardwick, Simpson, Dew etc.

Gibson is gone too, per Caroline Wilson.

 

[Sillygit]

What if the real big fish was the friends we met along the way?

 

[krakouers]

If you don't remember him you were him.

Wait…

 

[My Left Foote]

Didn't realise that, I'll update the list.

 

[The Warlord]

Brown was brought in to work directly with Larkey and turned him into an All Australian.

I think he's better understood as a contractor who fulfilled his role.

With our list and the picks we've got coming we'd be the most attractive head of development opportunity in town.

 

[The Dingrel]

It was posted here, separately, that Boomer and Ratten were asked to take on full time roles and declined. She may well be right.

So now we know where Caro does her research!

 

[The Dingrel]

So we ARE getting a Big Fish…..?

Like a big "J(D)ew" fish?

 

[Themanbun]

Yeah I think bringing in contractors for specialist projects (e.g. Operation Larkey) is ok. But I can see how crucial members of staff with frequent unavailability could be problematic.

Agree but also the majority of our list's basic skills are sub-standard there is A LOT of work to do.

Yeah, its being presented with a blank Sistine Chapel roof and all the paint you need stuff

I think his influence on Larkey has been clear, and proof that he knows what he's doing in this regard, so I wish they'd keep him around to work with Xerri who needs a contested marking/forward craft coach maybe more than anyone ever has.

Not sure if these 2 events are connected but it's a good call-out.

Larkey's contested marking improved greatly later in the year. Whether that was related to Brown's tuition not sure, would be interesting to see if Nick mentions anything to this effect at the Syd.

 

[Disco Dew]

I read that as ‘What if the real big fish was the threads we made along the way?’

I read that as ‘what if the real big fish was the dimmies we ate along the way?’

Bring the dimmies chat back, it is the off-season after all.
MTCTGA (make the clarko thread great again)
I’m getting hats made

 

[King Corey]

Sorry to shoot Bambi's mum again but intrigued how Patch survived when his line was probably the most putrid of the lot.

His time will come
