Coach Who Should Our Next Coach Be (Poll Updated)

[PonsfordMagpie]

We’d be crazy to not make contact with his management again.

Still have this bad feeling he’s going to Carlton though.

 

[HFF]

Do you think its not a good idea to get Clarko and think we should get someone else?

I do have fears of paying a coach $1m on a massive contract to be "rebuilding a club".
Yes, his achievements are noted and great...however he has had falling outs with everyone he has virtually worked with and in wonder just how much influence and pull he wants to have over all affairs.

The other matter is, is he a tired coach? Is he in decline and perhaps Hawthorn saw or know something others dont?

I want a coach who will come here for the right reasons.
I don't want a jilted lover looking for revenge to make their ex jealous.

If he was to come here....I would be praying its for all the right reasons but my gut feel tells me that it has Malthouse written all over it.

 

[GreekLunatic]

For once this year it wasn’t us stuffing up I hope he comes to ue

 

[johncitizen]

Graham Wright will get him to us. Just you wait and see.

 

[Chameleon75]

Wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a last minute AFL intervention and Clarko ends up at the Gold Coast or GWS.

 

[Go Woods]

Reckon he is Carlscum bound....

Here we go, this is why we are always runner up, ffs, let's try another coach who also has the same problems or a rookie so he can make his own **** ups

How could Robert Harvey be sitting on 25 votes with Brad Scott on 4? That doesn't make any sense at all.

There are no guarantees in anything. Past success doesnt guarantee future success.
I think there's merit in the above and there needs to be thought behind it.
Look at Malcom Blight to St Kilda---tears.
Malthouse to Carlton--tears.
Pagan to Carlton--tears.
Allan Jeans to Richmond--tears.
John Worsfold to Essendon--tears.
Norm Smith to South Melbourne---tears.

Legendary coaches at one club going to another doesnt guarantee legendary success there.

Don Pyke is not a rookie coach for example....

Makes perfect sense.

Not a lot of us have Scott as our 3rd preference let alone 1st.

A lot of trolls voted for Harvey.

 

[No SPIN]

Graham Wright contacted him just a few days ago.

Feeling confident he is our next coach.

source?

 

[MagpieJoel]

Get it done Collingwood.

But, I have a sinking feeling Carlton will get him.

 

[MyManLynch]

It sounds very familiar indeed however I feel Clarko has youth on his side where MM was starting to forget where he parked his car.

That was because Cloke kept parking in his spot.

We're always runner up because BF posters select our coaches and players?

 

[JOELY]

Graham Wright will get him to us. Just you wait and see.

I want to believe it but you don't exactly have the best record with assuring us about things that are definitely going to happen.

 

[greening22]

Given Clarkson's recent bombshell exit from Hawthorn today, the Collingwood Football Club must move heaven & each to get Clarkson. If they allow Carlton to get him it will be a total indictment on this club! No more & no less! Goodbye & good luck.

 

[FAIRANDBALANCED]

Get Clarkson. Its so obviously the right move. He will definitely have a chip on his shoulder now and will be successful wherever he goes.

 

[Vicky Park]

If Clarko goes to Carlton, so be it. He’ll have his reasons: $$, perceived better list, maybe even an entrenched dislike of the Pies. I will be disappointed but will get over it. He hasn’t been the best coach in the AFL for some years, and his record has been trending down.

If we get Pyke instead we’ll have an experienced senior coach with fire in the belly to prove his doubters wrong, and to redress the perceived failings of his time at the Crows. I’d be happy with that.

It all starts again for both clubs anyway, and Clarko is no more guaranteed of success at Carlton than he would be with us. In fact, I’ve almost talked myself into hoping he goes there.

 

[Professor Knowall]

FWIW (and she got it right on Clarkson departing Hawthorn early), Caro has Clarkson going to Carlton ... and definitely not Collingwood.

I never claim to always be correct. It's my tip.
Wright manufactured what is about to unfold.

Yes i may be wrong

Reckon he is Carlscum bound....

Agreed.

Same. Posted this in the other thread.


When the whole succession plan broke, Gary Lyon was talking about it On the Couch in support of Clarkson’s likelihood of remaining at the Hawks. In doing so he let out what I considered a Freudian slip.

He basically said he was confident that Clarkson would be at “Carl… I mean Hawthorn next year”.

Could be absolutely nothing, but given they are close friends I noted it down. Very similar as Pickers slip of the tongue about Buddy and Sydney IMO.

I hate it when they do that…

 

[unplugged]

Hawks have done well to make this look like Clarkson has gracefully stepped aside because "otherwise Sam Mitchell will get poached to Collingwood" or elsewhere. What's best for the Hawks, etc.

Maybe Clarkson stepped aside because he sees a more exciting opportunity

Looking back at my post history, feeling like a King

Clarkson told the media he helped accelerate the succession plan because the Collingwood position was made available. It was assumed he meant it would stop Mitchell pursuing the Collingwood opportunity...

Clarko, Clarko man
