So u basing the success of our coach on what carlton achieves?
Not just Carlton - but what the 17 other clubs achieve.
I can handle Clarkson winning a string of Premierships based on the team he's built up over a period of time.
I can handle one of Clarkson's protégés (Adam Simpson) taking his team from 13th to 9th (past us) in only his first season, then from 9th to Grand Final in his second year.
I can handle a second of Clarkson's protégés (Luke Beveridge) taking his team from 14th to 6th (past us) in only his first season.
If a third Clarkson protégé (Bendan Bolton) were to do that, then I would see it as a sign that we might not be backing the right Premiership horse.
I'm not suggesting that we should recruit a Clarkson protégé. We need to have the best coach going forward - whoever that may be. And I hope that coach is Buckley. I just think that if a string of rookie coaches are able to consistently overtake Buckley then I don't think he is the right coach for us.
What's your canary in the coalmine?
Fk me, no wonder we underachieve as a club, we worry about everyone else and not on what we hav to do.
There's a good reason why clubs employ opposition analysists and opposition scouts.
