Analysis The Coach – Simon 'Standard Practice' Goodwin: It's time to go (for real this time)

[Bluelegs]

Simon would work incredibly hard to track you down if you did, it will be a ruthless manhunt, he'll put the brick in for DNA analysis, travel an incredible journey if required and once he finds you he'll teach a few lessons on a better method to get your messages across to him.

Outstanding.

The stain on Goodwin’s coaching career is the 31 match period from the 2018 PF to round 9 last year where we went 8-23. The rest of the time we are 49-25-1, still some frustrating shit there but winning 2 out of 3 is excellent win percentage wise.

Clarkson gone. Sack Goody.

Caro right as always. What a journalist she is.

 

[Bluelegs]

Maybe the Curse of Norm Smith could only be broken by curse of equal value being started. The Clarko Curse has a nice ring to it.

Fingers crossed our club have already picked up the phone to his manager

Highly doubt it. Bad timing, wish he had stayed at Hawthorn for another year.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Take a year off for a job in the media Al, you've earnt a break mate.

 

[ImissFrosty]

Gotta feel bad for Frosty

 

[Bluelegs]

Anyone who thinks there is a genuine chance of Clarko ending up here is deluded, only way there was even going to be a chance of it happening was if he stuck around at the Hawks til next year.

It's a race between Collingwood and Carlton.

Back to being premiership kryptonite now that he doesn't have a good coach anymore.

Due diligence, best to get in the front foot

No matter how much you want it it's 0 chance of happening. There's still a very good chance goody takes us to our best HnA finish in 30 years or more. It's about as likely as when some of us said to trade Oliver or Gawn. Theory's fine but in real life it's not gonna happen

 

[GatesOfHell]

Hawks have just had their ‘Sack Norm Smith’ moment as Clarkson gets booted. Let’s hope it heralds in a 50 year period of ignominy for them.

 

[TheCount]

There is exactly zero chance of him coming to us ... but how's the pressure that's just piled onto David Teague

ahead of tonight's game, only a win will see him have a job past Tuesday.

To be fair suggesting trading Oliver and Gawn is ****ing ridiculous, and there is a very good reason why it hasn’t happened. Ringing the best coach of the last 2 decades manager to find out what his plans are is an obvious thing to do, it would be negligent not to

Not happening. Goody has earned the right to see his contract out at the very least.

If Clarkson doesn’t have that right Goodwin most certainly doesn’t

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Clarko chose to leave, entirely different.

Teague’s cooked.

Carlton list would be tantalising for Clarkson. Much more so than Pies.

Almost no chance he’ll coach us. Paying out a full year on Goodwin’s contract as we sit third in the ladder? Can’t fathom it.

Yeah people might say they would sack Goody for Clarko tomorrow, and I get it, but basically every scenario where it happens is completely outlandish.

1. We make one of the boldest administration decisions ever and sack Goody for Clarkson immediately, Clarkson forgets everything he's ever said about personal integrity and takes the job of a knifed coach. Our current season gets totally derailed and we hope Clarkson can work his magic next year.
2. We wait out the season, fail in our finals campaign and Clarkson hasn't taken any job offered to him yet. We sack Goodwin and win the bidding war against two of the biggest clubs in the land.
3. Clarkson takes a year off coaching, we fall off a cliff next year and don't renew Goodwins contract. Clarko decides to get back into Coaching for the 2023 season and comes to us. (Only realistic scenario)

I don’t think anyone believes that

You'd have to be dumb not to. He didn't want to waste another year with a team he had no future with. Cant blame him. Hawthorn hardly going to hold him to his contract with what hes done for them.

Yeah and so is sacking a coach in the hunt for the Premiership . I'm literally not gonna do this with you mate because you cant see sense, it's not gonna happen

He is getting payed out in full, you don’t get paid in full if you quit, you’d have to be dumb not to see that
