Coach Be vewy vewy quiet we're hunting coaches.

[Ashley B]

Sonja has not spoken to Clarko

I beg to differ

 

[Tas]

would be happy with that he'd be my second choice after clarko, leppa/gia a close 3rd and 4th

mcveigh has also put his hand up for the role if he doesnt get the giants gig and would be right up there also

Why? Might want to watch a few Eagles games this year, they are on a worse trajectory than us. The team with the worst skills after us is the Eagles.

 

[Ashley B]

I still think we have a lot of young talent. Many of us have noted the first coach or 2 of a rebuild do the heavy lifting or the difficult part. Hoping an experienced coach has the same belief in the list that I do and start getting us to climb the ladder again.

 

[Cyber_punk]

No thanks. No more unproven coaches at AFL level.

Mark Duffield: The case for Alastair Clarkson to coach the North Melbourne Kangaroos

Spoiler: Full Article

If it was OK for the AFL at the end of 1998 to pretty much guarantee that Leigh Matthews would be the coach to lead Brisbane, it should be OK for the league now to guarantee four-time Hawthorn premiership coach Alastair Clarkson coaches North Melbourne in 2023.

There are a lot of balls in the air here and the best way to ensure that as many as possible land in the right spot is to get Clarko to Arden Street – the home of the Roos for now.

If you include the departure of Brad Scott midway through the 2019 season North have now chewed through three coaches in less than four seasons.

This is the sort of territory Richmond, the “eat your own” Tigers, put themselves in in the 1980s and 90s. It was a recipe for instability and bad management that saw them spend 30 years in football’s wilderness before Damien Hardwick and Brendon Gale pulled them back.

The Roos can’t afford five years in the wilderness let alone 30.

So a proven coach would be highly desirable and if North don’t have the cash to make it happen the AFL should help. They should help because it may end up helping them.

They will, later this year, decide on whether Tasmania should get an AFL team. They will do so knowing that the best answer is the answer that is, at present, unacceptable to all concerned parties.

The Tasmanian team’s best chance of success is a full relocation and the strongest candidate is North Melbourne. The Roos are adamant they don’t have to go and the Tasmanians are adamant that they won’t have a relocated team.

But two things are almost certainly true: Relocation to Hobart is North’s best chance of long-term survival and after 10 years the relocated Tasmanian Kangaroos would be regarded by Tasmanians as their team, just as the Lions are seen as Brisbane’s and not Fitzroy and the Swans are seen as Sydney’s and not South Melbourne.

The best person to be coach in this time would be Clarkson – a proven winner who has close links with Tasmania because of his work there in the past year and has close links with the Kangaroos because he played there.

This is needed more than Clarko’s presence at Greater Western Sydney. The fate of an AFL club and the fate of football in an entire State may hinge on it.

 

[Better Loosen Up]

So outside of Clarko, Chocco is the overwhelming preference on here yet there is absolutely no discussion about him in the media?

**** off Mark.

Most people want him in a development role of some sort. Not necessarily head coach.

 

[Devington]

Once Clarko is out of consideration I find myself having to have conditionals attached to most of the other candidates. Well, other than the few I would give an outright no to.

Leppitsch might be the one to get my vote if a gun was put to my head. He's personally experienced what Noble just went through then went back down to Assistant Coach level with a club that then went on to win 3 premierships while he was there.

 

[Augustine]

 

[Augustine]

Man I would not have predicted this morning that Clarko, Patch Adams and Ross Lyon would be the early favourites to be the next North coach

Mark Williams.... BRAD SCOTT LMAOOOOOO

I like Jayme Graham but son, I don’t think you are gonna get a phone call from us this time

 

[krakouers]

Use it too much and you’ll go blind…
Is what… they… told… me…

 

[Tas]

If you noticed Clarkson's line from the board down that you need to get right, he skipped the CEO, he knows that is more of a commercial operation role and not significant for on-field performance.

 

[Roobunny]

I can’t believe that I’d take Hird over Ross Lyon, but that’s how much I don’t want Lyon anywhere near us.

So this guys master plan is for the AFL to force something they have no power to enforce, and make Tasmania and us do something neither of us wants and think this is going to turn into a fantastic commercial success?

These people are as dumb as dogshit.

Very disappointed as Mark has been pretty positive in a lot of our stuff, but jeez, deserves a nasty case of the runs after that

Relocation to Tasmania is the end of North Melbourne.

Not fair dinkum if they haven't got Satan on the list!

 

[Horace]

Here is a left field thought, that no doubt will be ridiculed, but why not get Dennis Pagan back as Director of Coaching to oversee Patch as the next coach?

 

[Warrboy]

Just a gut feeling (and its a big gut) - I reckon we will be welcoming Simmo at seasons end.

They were obviously at the mercy of the producers/editors but he came across well (second to Dimma in my opinion) in the Amazon series. Old Leon was a surprise to me, didn’t get much more than cliches from him but, again, hard to know what they left on the cutting room floor or were invited to film.

Either way I’m hoping for Clarko over Simmo for coaching/development based reasons (as well as added bonus of gravitas, credibility and pulling power for the Club).

 

[Warrboy]

* off Mark.

Really went down hill after the opening paragraph!!!
