He likely needed a refresh and a year away was good for him. I say yes. This is a young list and he will have two early picks. Perfect reset
Any club can win a flag eventually. There's a big job there and still years of rebuilding to do. Come back in 5 years, minimum.
That’s literally why his top up strategy failed, because he couldn’t land Lynch or Coniglio.He'll also be able to attract free agents and trades too.
There's a big gap to competitive and winning a flag though. He might have North competitive, but the thread is about a premiership.I don't think he'll need anywhere near that to have us very competitive.

That has as much to do with players and their managers reading the situation and recognising the Hawks were trending downward and the list no longer had the capability of contending for flags.That’s literally why his top up strategy failed, because he couldn’t land Lynch or Coniglio.
the difference in getting logue was offering him 200-300k more per year than fremantle. reportedly 700-800k a year. also reportedly with an additional year to what fremantle was offering - he will be close to a guaranteed $2M better off under the north deal at high end estimates than he would be if he stayed at freoHe's already been tghe difference in getting Logue, exactly the kind of B-B plus role player he excellled in recruiting at Hawthorn.
He won't need to attract the top end talent at North fdor this build, its here or coming through the draft.
He will be able to focus on developing Will Phillips rather than getting players in.
Very few coaches are going to be gifted that much talent. I don't see a single side in this era, for example, that matches up to the kind of squad the Hawks were rolling out.Nah, took him 5yrs to get a flag at Hawthorn with Hodge, Mitchell, Roughead and Buddy at his disposal, none of which quality is at North and wheres he going to jag another Dew out of retirement for a winning 10 minute GF performance.
His contribution will be structuring the football department.
Hate to break it to you....He's got a list with lots of young talent
the days of anyone decent leaving their club to play under Clarko are well goneHe'll also be able to attract free agents and trades too.

Big difference between walking out and requesting a trade away from the club under contract. Clark would have been aware there was every possibility he’d have to remain at the Saints if a trade couldn’t be facilitated.Hunter Clark walked out on you a few weeks ago to come and play for us, the only reason he's not here is St KIlda were in shambles and we had nobody to negotiate with as you were sacking the coach.
Who was the last ‘good coach’ to go to a poor club?A good coach can go to a poor club and the results will guarantee to be poor.
Doubt the game has gone past him but the club may not be able to come together as a whole to make north great again. As seen with my club over the last 20 years.
You're a Carlton supporter, you've seen this first hand. Coaches not cooked, just s**t clubs.Who was the last ‘good coach’ to go to a poor club?
Eade and Malthouse were cooked when they took up positions at bad clubs.
Roos had some decent success at rebuilding the Dees.
Seems the trend the past decade has been to back in a first time coach, but there’s no reason Clarko can’t have a moderate degree of success at the Roos if their development improves and they keep building their list to be baseline competitive most weeks.
Melbourne looked completely cooked when Roos took over.You're a Carlton supporter, you've seen this first hand. Coaches not cooked, just s**t clubs.
Which underlines my point, Clarko had the success he did from a list that was unbelievably good, so its a chicken or the egg scenario, did Clarko really develop them into a premiership team or could any half decent coach with that list oversee their rise?Very few coaches are going to be gifted that much talent. I don't see a single side in this era, for example, that matches up to the kind of squad the Hawks were rolling out.
The core is there though. Larkey and McKay are very good bookends. The midfield should be reasonably strong with LDU, Simpkin and Thomas - if Clarko can turn him around.
Clarko doesn't necessarily need to win a flag for his tenure to be a success. A couple of finals wins and he's probably done his job.

North rightfully didn’t want to lose access to a premium talent eg Sheezal and that was the reason the negotiations collapsed.
Senior coaches don’t get involved in trades - that’s the realm of the list management team.
No, he can't. You have to have the cattle. Op what timeframe have you put on this?
