The idea of a Mentor (ing) can come not necessarily via one person. A good group of assistants and some already experienced in AFL head coaching for example along with consulting confidentially with certain others as needed is probably the go. Think many in the AFL do it like that anyway, we just don't hear about it.

I think at senior coach level a mentor is giving you advice on managing the assistants, managing the season as a whole, strategy, handling media, sponsors, Board. Bigger picture stuff.

The contract thing wouldn't be insurmountable, however, all the outward signs are he's fully invested in Hawthorn and he's been very strong on seeing out this current phase with them into the next one. I'd be taking that to the bank in terms of where he'll be coaching.

On the wild-rumour-oxygen-side, Hawthorn have been sending out emails to members saying there'll be big changes over the off-season and asking them to "trust us". Which is a kind of weird thing to do.

Hawthorn are being dumped by Tassie so they are looking for a new interstate half way house so they don't crowd the Vic market. WA is the new place, they'll play 5 games a year here (2 away games) instead of Launceston and try and grab as may WA fans as possible. State government is fully on board so they can get more games in the new stadium and interstate travellers.


I just made that up, but it is more likely than Clarko being our coach.

So you have a contract to coach 1 more year and you know unless you win at least 1-2 finals you are probably going to be replaced (in fact if you get to the bye just over 50/50 you probably don't even last to finals) and your family is back in WA and you get a 3 or 4 year contract offer to come home.....is the option really gone? I guess it is up to him, does he feel he really has the support of the club despite what they are saying?

Well really it isn't even close to being more likely, but I would feel comfortable putting a couple of grand on Clarkson coaching the Hawks next year.

It doesn't seem like that long ago that Sheedy was going to coach the Dockers. Apparently his kids were booked into school and he'd bought a house in Perth.!!!!!! Isn't it wonderful how we can get all this information direct from people in the absolute know.

That was true he wanted to join a club from inception. Unfortunately that club was GWS

Top shelf.

On the other matter - Who really cares if Clarkson Alastair or Jeremy or some lookalike was perusing houses in Coogee, Cottesloe, Currumbine or Coolbellup. Or if he or someone by the name of A.Clarkson is on the wait list for Royal Perth or Royal Fremantle Golf clubs.

Only if he is reported as visual sighting on the Cockburn Arc waterslides will I start to show any interest. But even then Kurt Tippet was reported as running around Arc in his CJ’s at one point so I would remain highly doubtful. So it would have to be a BBQ at the back of Fyfes house with Belly on lookout duty. Get the helicopters out.

Lee Spurr mentioned on Saturday morning that the new coach will have to take a pay cut for the first year due to fact that Ross's final year payout needs to come under the soft cap.

So I found this article on line.

"Most casual fans would be aware of the salary cap that limits the amount of money that clubs can spend on players' salaries.

Less well-known is the restriction placed on their off-field spending.

This measure was introduced in 2015 to defuse the arms race that had caused costs to spiral, and to increase the impact of a funding boost for the league's poorest clubs.

The football department soft cap was set at $9.4 million, with clubs taxed 37.5 cents for every dollar they spent above that amount.

The tax doubled the following season before reaching a dollar-for-dollar level in 2017. A senior coach's salary invariably takes up the biggest chunk of a club's soft cap, so sacking one can be prohibitively expensive.

The sacked coach will usually need to be paid out the remainder of their deal, and money found for their replacement.

This exercise would likely push most clubs beyond the soft cap and into the luxury tax. If a club didn't want to pay the tax, or couldn't afford to, it would need to forgo other key staff.

Since its introduction, all clubs — rich and poor — have been reluctant to exceed the off-field cap."

If Ross gets another coaching job do we still have to pay out the last year of the contract?

Or do we only have to pay the difference between whatever he earns (if he gets another job) and what he was under contract for with us?

Ross at GWS in some capacity would turn around their soft defensive mindset. They should be better than what they are and playing GF's.
