So not as successful as recruiting someone from the Rioli family?

Maybe that's the answer for North then? They get the next Rioli?

 

[Stratton24]

knowing North they would draft Frank Rioli - no relation and stuff it up like every other move they make to copy a decent club

 

[Off The Couch]

You can always rent houses. If Hodge wants to go into coaching at some point his employment horizons will be far more ample down here than up there.

Well to date, his interests seem to lean more towards media and speaker at events

Suppose a generous package could see that change but wouldn’t hold my breath

 

[CHUBBSS]

Except they’ve recently sold their Melbourne home and hodge has said on numerous occasions that the family, especially Lauren, love living in Brisbane

It’s a long shot but I don’t see anyone else quite supporting and not agreeing with clarko at every turn like hodge.

As a side I think the soft cap is slowly destroying good people in coaching due to lack of $$$, why have the pressure for mediocre income

You're probably right - I am just constantly holding out hope for him moving back here so those kids never end up in the Lions academy.

Thought the eldest was already associated with their academy.

In any event, they could simply elect Hawks under F/S

Well, yes but would they want to move away from home and away from the club your Dad last played for.

My biggest fear is we lose out on Hodgey's kids.

I kinda hope they take up golf or tennis.

Or even if he wants to expand on his media career like his idol JB

 

[HODGEYROAD]

I get the feeling Hodgey won't ever get into the coaching full time, looks like someone that's content with what he's doing.

 

[TylerDurden]

Gil again. It's done.

 

[Lotus]

Gil again. It's done.

If you're Clarko, which job will you take?

 

[HODGEYROAD]

If you're Clarko, which job will you take?

GWS have a lot more talent to work with, so if I'm Clarko I'm probably taking that.

 

[TylerDurden]

If you're Clarko, which job will you take?

It's another $200k a year to kiss babies. No brainer mate.

 

[TheFourPillars]

Hmmm the rabbit prolly looking for trade me thinks

 

[Mercy Seat]

They’re all lions supporters I can’t see them coming to us unless Hodgey can find a professional reason to come back. His wife has joked she would divorce him if he did though. I just hope they’re not good at footy!

 

[The hands of stone]

Gee if given the choice do you coach the AFL backed club which still has loads of talent on the list or the club the AFL want to move who are a basket case on and off field .
I wonder ?????

 

[Mercy Seat]

Gil again. It's done.

Gil’s mills and Clarko might be his final bit of business..

To be honest it makes sense for a club in desperate need of building a profile to get someone like Clarko. And I think they’ve got a lot more to work with from his perspective.

 

[Ned Ryerson]

If you're Clarko, which job will you take?

GWS. They let Cameron squander 150 first round draft picks over 8 years. Clarko would be guaranteed a high paid gig for 30 years no matter what results he gets.

 

[KermitJagger]

If any current AFL club is going to work for Clarko, it has to be GWS. Can't see him succeeding with another rebuild at North. He needs to do what Lethal did at Brisbane, go to a club with a lot of great players and reign them in to a game plan that'll get them winning.

Is it too late? How many of the elite GWS players will still be there

Still got 20 first round picks on the list, provided they get first rounders in to replace Hopper and Taranto who are a chance to leave. We've got 7, even Melbourne only have 13.

Couple of stars left in Kelly and Greene, a few potential stars in Ash, Green and Callaghan, solid book-ends in Hogan and Taylor and some other A grade peripheral players like Nick Haynes.

It all depends what the incoming coach can get out of guys like Whitfield who have the talent but look over the sport and unmotivated.

Fox wants own commentators for all AFL games, not Seven’s

Foxtel wants to use its own commentary team for all nine AFL games per round and is seeking to have a “Super Saturday” in which it has the rights to the whole of Saturday in the home-and-away rounds, without any games broadcast via free to air on that day.

www.theage.com.au

While I love the concept of opting out of 7’s commentary - I was really hoping for both 7 and Fox to lose the rights.

Wouldn't the commentators just move to whoever gets the rights?

And do you really want someone like Amazon muscling in?

It's for this reason I want us to make a play for Willie Rioli (I've been growing some totally bodacious skunk bud to help make this happen)
