Mega Thread The Next AFC Coach?

[sbenno]

Choco Williams has runs on the board. He is a premiership coach after all.

Having said that, I'd be surprised if we approached him, and more surprised if he agreed to come. Some rivalries are difficult to put aside.

Jarman not giving up on his rumour and saying his sources were impeccable.

Just can't see how Clarkson recants from his comments

I can, easily - they don't mean anything anymore.

"I refused to enter discussions dueling GF week, Hawthorn and another flag were my only considerations; we achieved that, and the AFC then made me an offer I couldn't refuse."

pending on GF results perhaps

Obviously I've thought Sando wasn't up to it for a long time, but watching that last night, it wasn't just me, he came across as very amateur and out of his depth, right?

Kingy, 100% on the same page as you, Sando still looked very much like an 'Assistant'.

I thought the same but knew he had 2 years left on a contract that the club wouldn't break (so I thought, until some big badass Roo got in there)
I also thought our assistants area was shitty but that didn't change the fact Sando alone was looking way out of his depth in many areas..
I had heard him talk before to players and again last night, it sounds strange.. Very unsure, no conviction is probably the wording that best describes it..
Comparing him to other coaches such as Hinkley etc is chalk and cheese..

Really seems like an assistant..

Can we just stop discussing Clarkson.

You can stop discussing clarkson if you like.

 

[Boundryump]

The club are keeping very quiet which may suggest the coach has already been signed and are now going after the assistants which have been requested.

Haha

No, Clarkson is not coming - he is not that person. Ignore Jars and his sources.

I was simply relaying information that came across radio this morning that people may have missed and may be interested in - which I think is fair enough

For sure..
He said the same last night, still being told it's a strong chance..
Hasn't backed down really apart from pulling that it's a done deal..

Going to be a chicken farm worth of eggs on his face if it doesn't happen..
There already is..

 

[GROTTO]

Im going out on a limb here, having picked in the past, all four coaches at some stage of this discussion - Clarko, Horse, Dew and Bass.

I am definitely saying that our next coach will be Dew. With ROK as an Assistant.

DREAM TEAM BUFF I expect a toast thread by you very soon so please get it ready.

 

[Bay62]

After the GF it will be put to Clarkson, and when he refuses, it will be offered to Bassett.

Bassett is a little crazed and intense, but Norwood players seem very devoted to him, he was successful, and he reinvented some players careers.
I'm hoping it's Bassett.

I can live with crazed and intense

In fact I think I want intense more than anything

I think there is a very reasonable chance that Clarkson was coming, right up until Jarman shot his mouth off and f****d things right up.

Nah I know that. I was being semi facetious.

Won't believe anything until pen is to paper!

If you think that was a defining moment then we were always in trouble. He was never coaching West Coast either despite the rumours last year.

Not me, I want crazy.

Bassett as coach, Voss as senior assistant, and Blight as something crazy too.

 

[Moonwatcher]

I was waiting for someone to dare bring this guy up..
Caller to AA saying if Hird ends up losing his coaching spot to Thompson, maybe we should look at Hird..

May I borrow your avatar for a moment?

[Smoooothy]

So i've heard from a source who has a friend that is close to someone connected that holds a position of importance that has suggested to a confidant........ That it is a RIPPING day in Melbourne for the GF!

Can confirm

Easily

I apologise for not coming clean and for misleading the supporters and club however considering that at the time the club were two days from a GF it was in the best interest of the team and club that I deflected the story in the manner in which I did. Any other action would have put my self interest before the club.

I have now been at the club for more than a decade, the club has Now won 3 flags in past 7 years and I truly believe the time is right with the club in such great shape and set up for future success for myself to look for another career challenge. From the day I walked into this club it has always been my objective to depart the club at a time when it is in a strong position of strength and there is no doubt that this has been achieved.

Enjoy your premiership and thank you for a wonderful 10 years
