News Coaching Thread: The Hardwick Era

[Mini GF]

A head put on a stick could coach Geelong list into the finals every year.

Cold hard facts.

That’s quite an achievement to be worse than Mr Superannuation Top Up Rocket Eade.

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

On Triple M yesterday Barrett and Brownless were talking about Clarko to the Suns being a logical move. If even a fool like Brownless see's it as a good thing hopefully the AFL can make it happen.

I think the appeal to his ego is the way to go, if the master coach can save the Suns, expand the game in new areas bla bla bla. He's surely got to fancy working with so many talented young players too.

Much more of a challenge (and probably more money) than another big Melbourne club.

Would you think Blueys record was better because he had more senior players to choose from to place around the developing kids?

I'd say at least half of Bluey's wins could be credited to Ablett carrying the team on his back with brilliance. All of Dew's wins have been hard fought. So I still think Dew is the best coach the suns have ever had.

This is when the truth really hurts

 

[Suns of Anarchy]

Poor old Rocket’s first 2 years were a disaster. Out of those 44 games our midfield played:
Ablett 19
Bennell 15
Swallow 6
O’Meara 0
Prestia 22.
62 out of a possible 220.

Eade did have Gary Abblet. I reckon Dew might have won some games if he had the little champion.

 

[eppo67]

They are 100% going for Clarkson

What else have you heard?

 

[Damo T]

Going is one thing getting is another. Would be difficult prying him out of Vic.

 

[MarcLocksCrustySock]

We won't get Clarkson but we can dream.

 

[Happy Idiot]

I'm all for Clarkson, he's pretty much the only option that makes any sense. But I'm not sure he will want to knife Dew, given their history.

So, if you want Clarko, it's important that Carlton beat us handily this week. Let the players know.

Pretty sure Clarko loves a knifing

 

[eppo67]

Just that only and as Damo has correctly pointed out going for and getting are very different.

 

[Supersuns]

Everyone's gonna be disappointed when he goes to Carlton

 

[Happy Idiot]

If Carlton win against us they're on nine wins — up from seven last year. If they finish on nine or ten wins it's tough to sack Teague.

Throw the game Suns!

 

[Damo T]

Everyone's gonna be disappointed when he goes to Carlton

Funny how we are pinning ore hopes on a coach that is coaching a team lower than us on the ladder

 

[Mini GF]

I just went and double checked whether I hallucinated on Sunday…
No the final score was Suns 30 Melbourne 128.
Dew, Haines, Tippett-off you go.

So anyone left out of Drummond, Kaesler, or Clarke. All positions vacant?

I spoke with a former player in the last couple of days and he said the club would be reluctant to move dew on because of the soft cap and they basically have no money so the afl would have to fund it so unless the afl can fund a deal to get Clarkson the dew will still be coaching the rest of his contract..

he also said that dew may take a pay cut to bring in a senior experienced right hand man for one last shot at saving his job

has surfed the wave of free agents Geelong has SOME HOW managed under the cap to bring in year after year

Tuohy, Higgins,Dangerfield, Cameron, Smith, Rohan etc

a lot of family members getting paid big bucks to put stickers in apples at Frank Costas

 

[Mini GF]

Most likely yes. All gone.

The AFL will pay outside of the soft cap for our next coach.
