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

[The Dr]

Imagine if Clarko leaving is the beginning of the Hawks' very own Norm Smith curse

We can only hope and pray that it happens.

 

[Toump Ass]

Why not call Clarko? Would make a great assistant.

Also lol Hawthorn are so bad right now that they just sacked the greatest coach of the modern era... and we still couldn't beat them.

Carn Dees!

 

[Demon bhoy]

Also did 5 mins of reading, Clarko was sacked

Yep like I said you don’t get payed out in full for quitting

Apologies, or is this where I do a demon bhoy and dig in and still claim I was right?

 

[Toump Ass]

It wasn't a sacking... it was a two week succession plan.

I said he didn’t quit, I said that to you

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

I said he didn’t quit, I said that to you

woooooosh

 

[Demon bhoy]

woooooosh

I said it to you twice

Much like the trope in horror movies where you have to transfer a curse to someone else, we have transferred the norm smith curse to the hawks.

Can't wait for the Hawks to be flying at 9-0 halfway through the 2088 season on track to break their 67 year premiership drought only to have the wheels fall off to the point where they're talking about poaching Melbourne's 4 time premiership coach by round 19.

I reckon Clarko’s already got a private handshake on the Carlton job.

What does $100 return you on Clarko/Blues 2022? It’s a moral.

 

[Toump Ass]

Why would he take the Carlton job? Their list is shit. The board are unstable. The fans are complete numpties.

He could basically walk into any club he wants, the AFL would be falling over backwards to employ him as well I'd have thought.
If I was him I'd be looking at Collingwood, GWS and GCS too.

Disagree. Heaps of untapped potential on Carlton’s list. Fully fit they are one top line midfielder off the pace. Can see them rocketing into top six under Clarkson.

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'll take 3 for one Billion dollars Trebeck!

 

[Bluelegs]

I'll take 3 for one Billion dollars Trebeck!

I give it a .5% chance of it happening.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

I don't think goody's contract next year hinges on if we fall off a cliff. We could make finals and not re-sign him quite easily.

 

[Demon bhoy]

My turn to apologise, Ive realised I completely misread this before and got what you said completely backward, sorry

Yep completely over my head, had to read it to myself 3 times before it clicked

 

[Daemon]

And all is good again on the board...

Still think we should not renew Goodys contract if no flag. But no Clarko on the market, hot dang, that's depressing.

Who needs Clarko when you can sign Don Pyke or Bucks

Hopefully he ends up at Carlton and fails miserably like Malthouse.

Carlton's list isn't bad at all. They've got the key elements you need, they just need one draft like us Port and Essendon had and a bit more of a defensive effort.

Agreed, I'd take Carlton over Collingwood any day. Also, probably less expectations and pressure too. I rate Carlton highly, they just need a couple more good young players, and a coach who isn't soft, and they will be right up there.
