Coach Who Should Our Next Coach Be (Poll Updated)

[Pistol Night]

If Clarko gets the gig the coaching panel is effectively seeking an assistant coach. Clarko and Wright will choose from the shortlist.

McRae and Kingsley. Pyke too tall

 

[NMBB]

I am too. I think Clarko's price tag would cost us a development coach - and we really need development coaching at the moment.

Doubt if the (after tax) money is a critical issue for Clarko - more like "what's the challenge?" - "what sort of culture am I headed into?"

 

[Carringbush2010]

Agree with much of this, but I’m hoping the worst is behind us. We have to believe this if we are to attract a good coach and fill the other positions with quality candidates.

If we do actually change track and avoid weird and harmful decisions, that'd be a change from the last 4 odd decades.

McCrae could be in the situation where he is contracted to Hawthorn and only available if a senior job is on the table (as tends to be the handshake agreement with assistants). It's no cert he would be available as an assistant to Clarko.

That’s if they want to leave their assistant jobs to be another assistant

Jeff Kennett fine with BREAKING CONTRACTS

Well, there’s at least one person gone from the club who was involved in at least two decades of decisions. The first decade with success, but the second decade less so.

Eitherway they need a job and an assistant in the AFL is highly regarded.

Sam Mitchell may want to go with his own team of assistants. Usually the case with a new coach.
I think

mmmm let me guess... I'll get back to you if I can think of a name...

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Maybe I’m a bit old fashioned but I think Clarkson is behaving too “entitled” and expecting any job he wants that he can just walk into. I want somebody hungrier and humbler than that. Same applies to Lyon only more so.

 

[unplugged]

So ... where are we now? Clarkson with McRae as his assistant?

 

[Horaceg]

Yes hope it's Clarkson as senior coach Macrae as his senior assistant and Mark Williams as development coach. Bring back monkey as ruck coach

Come on pies do it.

I will sign off on that if you can fit Balme in there

 

[NMBB]

I will sign off on that if you can fit Balme in there

Think Balmy has given us enough chances

 

[left at home]

We’ll if clarko does not want the job, McRae will do nicely thanks

 

[Sunbot]

Why is no one talking about getting Gary Ayres?

 

[MyManLynch]

mmmm let me guess... I'll get back to you if I can think of a name...

Is it Joffa?

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Why is no one talking about getting Gary Ayres?

What’s this about Gabbo?

 

[76woodenspooners]

No way he would want to Coach us as we going to be a Massive Job for us to be Good Again

We defeated the minor premiers this year, vey convincingly, we can’t be all that terrible. There’s something to work with.

Could be big List Changes with new Head Coach

We don’t really have the currency to replace a big change to the list. We have practically nothing in the draft once Nick Daicos is taken care of. And we already have two list spots to fill (Mayne and Greenwood) before we even begin.

 

[PIEWITHSAUCE]

Why is no one talking about getting Gary Ayres?

We're more interested in the Clarkos, the McCraes , the Kingsleys , the Grahams...........

 

[NMBB]

Is it Joffa?

Currently in disgrace

 

[Go Woods]

Does anyone think we are any chance of naming Clarko as our new coach?

I feel slightly more hopeful than I did last week.

 

[left at home]

Why is no one talking about getting Gary Ayres?

FOr some reason l think he is in the category of not needed, failed coach.
I think he could be a very good assistant

You're very thoughtful but no thanks.

 

[left at home]

You're very thoughtful but no thanks.

Why what wrong with him

 

[NMBB]

Why what wrong with him

Must be a reason why hasn't succeeded as senior AFL coach - he's not sought after - leave him in the VFL if that's where he is
