While I know you lot are getting excited, I am mentally preparing myself for Brad Scott and anyone or anything else is an unexpected bonus.

Make Brad grow out his hair and beard, we'll just tell everyone it is Chris.

who's who though

Guy in back right is a pissed off Ross Lyon.

This doesn’t sound right. I’m outside of Australia (in NYC) and things are pretty much normal and people traveling and flights are full etc. You can watch Broadway shows, go out for dinner, go to sports stadiums etc. Friends are traveling to Europe for vacations etc. I’ve been doing work trips across the country. Either Clarkson has absolutely no idea what’s going on outside of Australia or this statement is false.

Shuddddup don't tell Clarko that

Serios question, who knows their way around the soft cap rules? If we pay $15m for 6 years let's call that $2m a season plus CPI. Not much left for support staff.
Maybe all members sitting in the front row will have to go and fill up the water bottles at the end of each qrtr.
Seriously, what would be the rough allocations of the soft cap after a big commitment to senior coach?

The United States would not be representative of the global approach to the pandemic.

The US is relevant as the story was he is planning to come here

Trying to keep expectations in check. But for what it’s worth… I posted Clarkson to the blues 2 weeks ago before the media circus. Once the media hit, I assumed the mail was off the mark. BUT, my source (who has been very accurate this past year) is still adamant it’s a done deal and is getting a good laugh at the media circus.

Time will tell.

There is a 75 cent tax for every dollar spent over the soft cap( currently $6.7 mil, down from $9.7 mil). We can pay as much as we like, just get a huge tax bill.

Plus no matter what happens next season we’ll be paying for two senior coaches. That would explain why Carlton is keen for Hawthorn to cover as much of Clarko's salary if we get him.

I assume the thinking is that the soft cap will increase a lot post pandemic though

Na, Teague 6 month payout. Over and done with by Feb 22.

Just changing tac for a moment…one bloke who I reckon would be great in some sort of coaching capacity when he finishes up as a player, maybe senior assistant, is Zac Tuohy. Heard a couple of interviews after the game this week and he’s very impressive and knows a lot about the game. Gives proper answers when asked about tactics and movements in the game.

Hope this is the case. But what will be will be.

I'm as confident that we will sign Clarko as I was when we got Cogs and Shiel. 110% confident.

This does not keep expectations in check. The opposite. And I like it

Teagues payout has been reported at 200k. Means a $1.6m annual uplift in expenditure. We can't have had much headroom left after a $3.0m cut.
Pretty lean on support staff..or a big tax bill.

The only way we pull any of this off will be copping significant soft cap tax for many, many years. I'm fine with that though. Let's see how the AFL respond. Changing the rules without notice is pretty standard for them.

Appreciate all these rumours from posters, but with all this noise apparently going around you would think B70 would have heard something. But no, so my money is Clarkson will take his $900,000 holiday.

B70 did say that he was limiting his info recently. Silence is different from refuting the claims. He may not know, or he may prefer not to share.

 

[CoachB]

Do recall Bevo coming out saying Head Coach should be outside the soft cap after he got a deserved pay rise. Said it put too much pressure on the football department that was already overworked.

I know this news has somewhat broken already but for what it’s worth, spoke to a club administrator who keeps their cards very close to their chest normally.

Interesting points:

- Teague lost the players last year in the hub, when issues re game plan were brought up by players, they fell on deaf ears.

- this fractured a lot of relationships

- Teague became particularly bitter and nasty towards not only players, but staff that had nothing to do with his termination. The feeling was that he’d completely lost the plot (understandable imo)


Had to read between the lines on the following*

- Lyon highly unlikely

- Cook is waiting for geelongs finals campaign to be over before signing but is more or less done

- Carlton will not let Clarkson walk away from this

- both Scott brothers are options 2 and 3 but like I said, they won’t let go of Clarkson and Cook is seen as somewhat of a key piece to that

From the conversation, my overall feeling was that (and this wasn’t my opinion pre convo) moving on from Teague was 100% the right decision.
Also, the club is not in as bad a shape as being portrayed, and actually quite the opposite. This is a bit of a line in the sand moment for us. Sayers is the right person for the job… There is hope

100%

I thought Clarko was having year off because of family his son doing year 12 next year what’s he shipping them all off that won’t help his sons studies
