Universal Love Welcome back Sam Mitchell! Signs as an assistant coach for three years

[MrPremiership]

Weren't Bailey and Newman already coaching with us in 2018 and Ratton has departed? That's an empty position somewhere just not at boxhill.

Also it's not like there is a set number of coaches that you can have.

Either way I'm not sold on the succession idea. Clarkson is the best coach in the game perhaps of all time and we must try to keep him as long as he still is. So unless Clarkson quits or we are bottom of the ladder we keep him.

If it becomes clear that he wants to leave we do the same process as when we hired him and find the best candidate based on the their experience, vision for the game. Etc...

I think Clarkson and his assistant that succeed have shown that.

Ratten didn't depart until end of season, so there wasn't any empty roles.

While there isn't a limit on how many coaches you can have, there is a soft salary cap on footy department spend. This was have an indirect limit on coaches

Exactly, and Hawthorn already have an experienced coaching panel. Unless Clarko sacrifices his own deal to allow space for Mitch I can't see it either at this point. The one thing I do doubt though, is Newman's ability as a stoppage coach. Perhaps he takes over midfield and scott burns takes over stoppages.

Barrett saying he’s coming to us.

 

[The German Hunter]

Development coach isn’t the worst idea. Build strong relationships with the next wave of kids who will play under Sam when he becomes head coach

So is an announcement likely to happen at our BnF or we just gonna roll him out Round 1 next year like a burnt turkey on xmas eve?

Eagles have their B&F tonight, will be interesting to see if that means he says goodbye tonight and hello tomorrow night

I mean, he's already told the Eagles he's leaving. He'll say a few words and thank yous.. I'd be a bit surprised if the first mention of his destination next year was at their BnF, though.

Yeah I meant more, he will wait until after their B&F to announce where he is going

I know Barrett and Caro have been the big two saying Sammy is returning home, but this in sliding doors this morning leads me to believe nothing has changed to date.

Can someone send this to Dylan? Like via text, social media, whatsapp, messenger, myspace, facsimile, carrier pigeon.

Pretty much confirmed Mitchell will return to Hawthorn by his manager.

 

[ChinaTim]

SAMS COMING HOME

Basically Lenton said he's agreed on terms, just ironing out the specific role with Clarko.

Looking good boys.

 

[The Offerman]

[MasterSamurai]

Great news!! Now we wait for Hodgey next year.

 

[Kenyan]

Fantastic for the devlopment of our young mids, JOM, Tom and Dylan.

 

[Cyril says]

Woohoo!!!

 

[Leather Poisoning]

This is great. Love this guy. Has a real edge and insanity/obsessiveness in his approach to everything that'll be great.

 

[The Birch]

Great news!!!

Shiel will be next!

Don’t rule out Gaff either! Slight chance, but still a roughie!!!

 

[Kuuz]

So excited - his influence on the West Coast mids was huge - as acknowledged by the players themselves.

Cannot wait for his input on our mids.

 

[Hodgey 15]

Great news.
