Who will coach the Eagles in 2014?

[Suma Magic]

I don't believe a word of Sheehan's claim. Wouldn't be unhappy if we got Clarkson though.

 

[EagleCanival]

surely Sheehan's lost his mind

Yep, still a much better option than Burns and Sumich, and he'll iron out the shitty hand and foot skills by bringing in skillful players for once

 

[Special Agent Utah]

Clarke would be a massive get!!

He's a great coach, I just don't think we'll get him.

Just on the couch Mike called Clarko to us regardless of the result on Saturday

Heard that too...I know a few on here dont seem to rate him, but I'd be stoked with him. Btter than getting Roos imo (if it happens)

 

[amazingjoshy]

to be fair, its hardly a new rumour (look back a few pages in this thread)

Of all people, Hagdorn was the first person to call this quite a few weeks back, making it even more shocking if it in fact does happen

 

[reimersworstguy]

You'd think we'd definitely enquire/make an offer. Whether or not he takes it....

Interesting to see some people don't totally rate him. Think he's awesome.

 

[Galileo9]

4th round pick or see you later.

 

[Falco]

Really big changes needed. With our cash and the Perth climate, I’d be chasing:

Kevin Sheedy – Director of Football with specific responsibility for young player development.
Michael Voss – Head Coach
Brett Kirk – Stoppages / Having a Crack
Dean Laidley – Defence / Having a Crack
Brett Ratten – Mids / Having a Crack
Adam Simpson – Forwards / Having a Crack
Neil Craig – Injury Management / Having a Crack
Choco (Williams, not Royal) – Doing his 'nana at quarter time & 3 quarter time huddles / Having a crack
Brian Dawson – Good Cop
Jade Rawlings – Bad Cop

Put that team together and we might avoid a single digit draft pick next year.

Awesome. This is definitely what we've been missing. Hire them.

Same here, the only journo I'd trust would be Caro and I don't think she's mentioned anything about us

 

[The Passenger]

Clarkson and Simpson my two favourite options. Both Hawks guys. Would be real good, obviously preference is the experienced Clarkson.

We shall see what happens.

Last time we got a Hawks coach it didn't work out to well though. There could be some interesting symmetry if we had two years of disaster under a former Hawks coach before luring one of our old stars (Sumich) back who led us to another successful era.

He's a very good coach, but we also need to get his recruitment and list manager/s who are just as crucial at the hawks. I am pretty sure that is Chris Pelchen and I am pretty sure he is now at St Kilda?

Clarkson's no Ken Judge.

true, i was just being a bit facetious

 

[The Passenger]

i wonder how our hipster brigade would go if clarko banned mobile phones on an away trip?

 

[pantskyle]

Clarko would be fantastic.

 

[pantskyle]

Hmmmm very interesting.

Could he bring Buddy?

 

[larrikin]

Clarko would be fantastic.

Subi needs demolishing anyway, may as well start with the coach's box

 

[stralia]

Betting on the next coach has been suspended by the looks of things. Interesting timing.

Would love Clarko to coach us too good to be true

LOLed

 

[Small Moves]

I'd be stoked if we could get Clarkson. Unlikely, but it'd be a huge step in the right direction.

Hawthorns recruitment has largely been shithouse for many years.

They have butchered many picks since the roughy/Franklin draft.

They have traded well, but drafted very poorly IMO

Personally I think Clarkson is a tremendously innovative coach.

His rolling cluster worked and then he re-invented the hawks short kicking game to to beat the press implemented by lyon/malt house etc

If he is available he should be the prime candidate

 

[Lucky Luc]

Very strong rumor coming out of Melbourne that Clarkson wants out of Victoria,
Apparantly win or loose he will walk , May be a clever ploy to take heat of the hawks during GF week , bloody great move if true , but I doubt rumors are on the money.
Sumich is still the man .
