Who do you think Hawthorn would rather lose......Mitchell or Clarkson?

Clarko

Agreed ... but does Mitchell want to wait ? And will the offer be to hard to resist ?

Or does Clarko sense the opportunity for another 10 years coaching at another Big Victorian club instead of getting undercut by Mitchell in 2-3 years time?

This post about Choco below raised some eyebrows for me.

There’s no doubt he has his strengths, but I would tread carefully before appointing him in any capacity.

Rumour - Goodwin under close scrutiny

That's fair, but the same applies to Worsfold who seemed to dine out on the same level of success and at least Roos' Sydney side didn't leave a trail of victims of crime and drug abuse in it's wake. i agree about Worsfold but only one of the two went down media street strutting his goodesy and...

Interesting post but if he was the head honcho there would be no one to undermine. That aside it’s a No from me.

Chocko would not walk out on the Dees so forget that.

If Buckley goes it will be one of the assistants.

I think they key to the question is do he and Wright get along?

Williams would be a very good addition to our coaching ranks but not as head honcho, It's Ross Lyon for me, Williams and Lyon would shake the place up quickly and put us back in contention

Lyon hell no might as well stay with Buckley one super defensive coach to another.

For a head coach role he would.

Nah, he would not. When was the last time that happened? He would hold off until season end like they all do. Let others do the dirty work and come in fresh.

 

[Civilest]

4 year contract, $1m pa, full autonomy, can select his own assistants and support staff (subject to soft cap). Mitchell might still say no but we shouldn’t die wondering.

Plenty of clubs have let assistants go to become head coaches. Whether he still wants to be the head coach is the question?

At the end of the regular season.

You want to pay Williams $4 million.
Wow!

Mitchell ... you’ll need to grease the wheels to get someone willing to put the Collingwood albatross around his neck.

A rookie coach.
Wow x1000

If Lyon was serious about coaching again, he would already have a much more attacking and relevant game plan in mind. He knows the ultra defensive game is gone and he is very shrewd when it comes to thinking about the game. He seems to have the ability to get the players to buy into his plans and also seems to be able to build a very strong list quickly. If Longmire can drasticaly change his game style, so can Ross, it';s just a hunch but I think we would be looking very closely at him provided he can convince the cluib that his new game style stacks up.

With Sam Mitchell you are effectively getting Clarkson as well. Multiple Premiership player and captain. Young man able to relate to young men.

Now I’m confused.

Mitchell will bring Clarksons IP, methods Etc without the objectionable jaw breaking and grabbing yobbos by the throat nonsense. Mitchell > Clarko at this juncture.

Yeah, go big or go home...its gotta be of his ilk

I think you're confusing Eade with Lyon here. He's coached 2 sides the same way....defensive. Eade was always the one willing to try new things.

Better.... yeah nah

Mitchell is a bit of a smart arse himself
