i agree but i will be bias and say clarko is better if not at least equalpaul scholes said:rocket has the edge, clarkson the most courageous for his re-building at hawthorn.Willing to cop it as a rookie coach is most gutsy.
i don't have a problem as i can see what he is trying to do and i reckon they just might keep him on. as you and others have said he is brave for doing the youth thing and all and i reckon that will hit pay dirt in the endRich01 said:Would have to say Eade on 2005 performance, followed closely by Wallace (from 4 wins to 10 in 2005). Even hardcore hawk supporters have been questioning Clarkson's match day tactics which have been nothing short of ordinary. He is brave for taking a 100% youth focus with him, which will cost him games short term, and won't guarantee him seeing out that out as senior coach in the longer term.
By far Rodney Eade is the better coach of these 3... If not in the competition.. He is tactically better than any other coach.. His side may not have made the Grand Final this year but his game plan sure as h3ll did.HAWKS HEROES said:i agree but i will be bias and say clarko is better if not at least equal

Wallace is purely a motivator.. When the sh*t hits the fan will always struggle.
Hard for Clarkson to be either in his position with the young list.. But he is still yet to show that he is able to match it tactically or motivationally with any of these 2.
he has not said that he told us at the start that there was a good chance that we would lose games he has not done a schwabby of saying we will win or be in a g/f this year all teams goals are to be in the g/f etc but that does not happen over night and we needed young blood as some of the old blood were leaving or got injured and then left etc so it is just as well that we blooded the young ones so to speak as i think 2006 will be even better for the hawks !Rory said:What exactly did Clarkson do apart from say "we will make finals in 2009" after a drubbing...
i will totally agree there give it a few more years before you can really do this with clarkoDynamoUltra said:It's kind of stupid to place Clarkson in a poll against Eade and Wallace, considering he has only been a senior coach for 1 year. It's almost like saying Buckley vs Crawford vs Tambling.
At the present time, taking into account their past, Eade > Wallace, but we do not know where Clarkson stands.

Never said he couldn't coach... He is purely a motivational coach though.. Not such a tactical coach... Both types are capable of taking sides to premierships..tigerT said:i think the guy can coach a bit as well![]()

Rodney Eade can tactically take an opposition side apart.. Like no other...
His flooding game plan has been used to great effect by several coaches since.. Including Wallace.. And will continue to be used in the future... He has revolutionised his game plan with the bulldogs to a point where he has taken the same list that performed poorly to half a win from finals..
Once Brown went down, all of a sudden the motivational side became a little more difficult..
But when Darcy went down, no panic, just a tactical readjustment.![]()

Are you serious??? Point out this Pro-Active tactical approach that Wallace has taken as part of his master stoke??? When has he provided such a mismatch that he is above a coach of Eade's ilk???tigerT said:maybe the fact the bullies are 4 years or so into rebuilding helped abit? and maybe bc our list is pretty ********e also contributed to us falling into a heap wen goldenboy brown went down?
They have a list that oozes class and it was just a matter of time before they clicked. Wallace is 1-2 years into the rebuild at the tigers and in the end how much seperated the 2 sides on the ladder? a bees d.ick?
Bollocks wallace isnt a tactical coach, hes one of the most pro-active game day coaches I've ever seen, his ability to create a mismatch and find weaknesses in the opposition is a gift. This nonsense that hes only a motivator is just garbage, total misconception which is typical of BF. Id back wallace in against rocket tactically any day of the week.
Rich01 said:Agreed. Interesting he has changed his tactics with the Bulldogs from Sydney. Sydney was all about tight contested man on man football with accountability the key. At the smaller Bulldogs, hard running counter attacking, pin point passing has become a feature. Quite similar to the plan being put in place by Wallace. Eade at Sydney was renowned for his match day preparation. It seems he is complementing this by getting has hands dirty at the bullies as well.
I don't understand where you are going here? You mean the entire Richmond philosphy was based around motivating Nathan Brown? Or making the team believe in Brown's abilities? Motivation obviously had nothing to do with it.
Brown is a class player and we based a lot of our game and forward attacks around him and Richo. We lost him and we lost an avenue to goal.
No panic with Darcy going down... it's the preseason. Let's see how it plays out in 2006. The one positive is that Eade has all summer to find that extra avenue to goal.
