Pardon the intrusion. I'm getting the feeling the AFL will assist you guys in getting Clarko like they did for us when we got Paul Roos.
Thats the general feel around the whole AFL community right now. Media seems to also be assisting it that, all up to Clarko now

Caro tends to cop it for reports like this but look at what happened at Hawthorn with Mitchell taking over. She was absolutely spot on.

If the AFL are truly frustrated with our situation then they would go over the top of our board and make sure Clarko is coaching us next year. This may very well be step number one. They did it with the wooden spoon winning Brisbane Lions in 1998 when Leigh Matthew took over after more than a decade of disappointing results and the same thing happened with Sydney after they also claimed another wooden spoon in 1992. We're basically in the same boat right now and Alastair Clarkson just so happens to be available.

I’m not a Dew fan I think he has under performed with the list but if the AFL has to throw buckets of money at the angry midget then it should be a big red flag. He either wants it or he doesn’t
 
Clarkson has made his intentions clear. He isn't planning on coaching in 2021. Instead he wants to travel with his wife.
Well you can’t doubt him, it’s not like he said he was 100% staying at the Hawks in 2022 or anything like that 🤪

Dew will have to coach out his contract next year if Clarko is only an option to come in 2023.

Maybe he can do a Paul Roos at the Swans and turn things around next year.

If that happens then we just bring Clarko in as some sort of director of football and he just pulls Dews strings like Roos ended up doing for Goodwin.

Gold Coast and Hinterland. Northern NSW and Tweed Coast. Sunshine Coast and Hinterland. Some of the best spots on the planet on his doorstep.
If he moves up.
 
When the whole AFL media are calling for your coaches head

last game of the year..
some retirements

And to go down by 90pts

this club must have some fall proof plan if they plan on keeping Dew on next year.

atm we are a joke
As I posted earlier in the thread.
The only person on the GC who has Eddy McGuire on speed dial is The Coch-and he put Caro's speculation to bed when she raised the Dew issue a couple of days ago

Quick reminder that Richmond lost by 113 to Sydney in the last round of 2016. Every man and his dog were calling for Hardwicks head. We’ve been playing the last few weeks with half a vfl team and most of the best 22 still in the team are still young. A combination of Clarko Hardwick and Leigh Matthews would lose that game 9/10 with the team we put out

Forgive the intrusion but Clarko could be posting photo's of him and the better half on a beach in Cancun a week before the 2022 season starts and the AFL media buffoons will still be speculating he'll be coaching some club...!!!

FYI, rumours are his planned travel next year to the US is not entirely vacation related. He has actually hinted this a few times publicly in recent pressers, which our small-minded media plonkers have chosen to ignore.

I have no doubt the club, including Coch want him and have told him so.
It’s just this constant media noise (others than just Caro) saying that senior AFL officials want a proven experienced coach and are pressuring the Suns to move him on.
Who wins that battle?
