Welcome Welcome back to Carlton Tim Clarke - Midfield Coach

[carlton_99]

Gerard Healy on 3AW just said Tim Clarke is a huge pickup - very highly rated in the industry.

Wasn't concerned before... now I am

A few of you must have worked closely with him at Gold Coast to have such great insights. Lol

Speaking of working with him, if we are considering Solomon, Clarke would have worked with him at GC.

 

[Zatoichi Blue]

Cripps will be happy.....


Let "Operation : Snare Matty Rowell" commence. Another piece of the plan in place ?

 

[Justnetime]

Welcome Tim. Hope you are the guy with the brains. Please lord almighty let this guy be the one with the acumen.

 

[swuzzlebubble]

Love the 'underwhelming appointment' type of posts..
Like any of us plebs have a ******* clue how good, or not so good he is.. lol

Obviously for a definitive judgement we need to consult the GC board to see if they are celebrating or commiserating this event.

I don't have anything to add due to no knowledge. However, what I will say is we have Cook and Sayers, both with a long history of success. If you pass the sniff test with these two, you have my warmest welcome to the club.

How can ANY of us know what these assistants are like and make such negative comments on people we just don’t know.Incredible.

He coached under Bolton who coached under Clarkson, so he's like a second generation Clarko descendant.

Another one with plenty of experience. They’re surrounding Voss with experienced assistants.

John barker was very experienced.....

Thats right.
We need to wait until 3 games into season
And then
Let 'em have it.
Precious cargo in the mid field.
You'd wanna get their line-coach just right.

 

[TrueQldBlue]

So the last time he was at Carlton was 2018 as midfield coach.

We had 2 wins. A percentage of 59.

But we had green shoots....

or gee wizz, these guys perform well in their roles? you know, the ones they haven't begun yet?

Outrageous!

 

[myblueroan]

Why is that, you know his skills well i presume. What does he lack?

For starters we need an Andrew for our Royal Flush.
Shoulda got Carrots!!

Solomon will be good at working out any parenting issues.

 

[Choc Milk]

For all the people bagging this bloke, he was in charge of Richmonds VFL team from 2012-2015. What happened to Richmond in 2017? I wonder who helped develop those players in the VFL. Gee some people give me the shits

This guy is an excellent communicator, team builder and developer of talent.
Excels in relationship building, especially team camaraderie. Very much the type of coach a team wants when it comes to a culture overhaul.

Now we need a tactician.

So are you saying he should give the all clear provided no lunches were cut?

Is that what Hansen is??

I wish we signed Luke Hodge as our coach.

I like his media work.

I reckon daisy is way more impressive. She seems more knowledgeable than most of the blokes in commentary.

 

[Navy_Blueblood]

Welcome back Tim. I hope you prove many wrong in here.

I am worried though. Very worried. Who is our new Barker now?! Having read the welcome thread for Hamill, I was confident the haters had found their man. Now Tim.... Game changer. Or can there be two?!

 

[Jimmyonesix]

Underwhelming really

Yes that's what vanenburg said about Clarko last 4 years - ..
But it is clear the Hawks board that had given him everything – cap space, recruiting targets – since the end of the three-peat felt he had underperformed in that time
“I think we have got to reflect a bit. It’s six years since we won a flag and we have been out in the wilderness for a while,” Vandenberg said
We showed a bit in 2016 and 2018 and got into the finals but we couldn’t fire a shot and then that starts to raise questions about our direction and our list and what does the future hold
That is the process we have been through, and the performances on the field are plain to see for everyone in the last couple of years

dodged a bullet there

Good grief, people negatively judging this already!

Don't think the best midfield coach of all time would have helped us in 2018, especially when Bolts was throwing 12 year olds in the guts.
