Welcome Welcome back to Carlton Tim Clarke - Midfield Coach

[Arr0w]

How can ANY of us know what these assistants are like and make such negative comments on people we just don’t know.Incredible.

Observation of the team and midfield can give some insight mate. Cool your jets.

Of course but the level of reasoning seems to be: I haven't heard of him, therefore he's s**t.

 

[Skull Face]

Can't say this excites me, here is hoping he was the key to AA cripps and we get him back again for 2022 though.

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

And David Clarke’s brother.

You what now?

 

[zeggie]

Finally!

Welcome Clarko.

TBF, the Carlton Big Footy Board supporters have only recently discovered their abilities to recruit and rate prospective assistant coach appointments in the last week or two. Its a new phenomenon.

Couldn't have said it better myself

You think maybe they talked to the captain and asked him about Tim before they hired him?

Cripps had personal best years for disposals, inside 50s, rebound 50s, tackles, contested and uncontested possessions while Tim was midfield coach.

 

[COBALT BLUE]

Yup also very valid. I actually didn't say anything negative about the signing and wish him all the best.

I'm glad we have an experienced coach who has familiarity with some of our players but also a taste of how other clubs do it.

I also think for the personnel they have, GCS midfield functioned very well, their 2021 season as a whole was underrated.

I was just calling out the snide remarks from that flog who insinuated people can't have an opinion because they weren't on the GCS staff. Give us a break!

Its an interesting one...No Luke Power reshuffle into midfield or right handman role to Voss...?
Tim Clarke obviously was processed as well,and ticks all of the boxes...the guy looks professional and wish him luck in driving the mid works with Voss
The Suns are underrated and also had a injury ridden 2021 season,and were up and down and over the place,not a lot unlike the Carlton 2021 season
What has been churned trough a few remarks about the changes that need to come to Carlton....could mean stepping back into the clubs old shoes...and that might not be so easy
Soul search for team devotion,blindness to the cause,committed to the focus and train to the bone....Voss hopefully can blow away some of the cobwebs and really get them focused on that footy....if we had 22 Walshes it would be a foregone conclusion....train hard,be the fittest and strongest...never any doubt

Gerard Healy on 3AW just said Tim Clarke is a huge pickup - very highly rated in the industry.

But Gerard Healy is an anti-Carlton, media flog? Suddenly this post has a dozen likes? Confusing.....

Who is Gerard Healy? We only see Pro-Carlton and Anti-Carlton just like it's Jekyll and Hyde

Luke Power has made it clear that his personal interest is in player developemnt - that is what he likes doing. The interview is on the Carlton web site and was posted quite a few months back. The Club needs to invest as much in VFL development as coaching AFL - only when VFL is performing can you expect sustainable AFL success - only when players have a development regime can you expect draft picks to deliver. The reason why Sydney produces good players from low draft picks is exactly that - no magic - just hard thoughtful work into young kids.

I like this a lot. No name brands make better coaches than ex-gun players. Hansen is another. Good job.

I know but suddenly seems to have changed his tune a bit.

Same as Kane Cornes - when he said, of the AFL teams on the up, he'd like to be coaching Carlton - I nearly drove off the road (Note: I probably shouldn't have been reading Big Footy on the iPad while driving)

 

[Blue and Blue]

An unknown quantity at the time yes.
Midfield was going ok back then....welcome back.

 

[Blue__Balls]

RoyalBlues come back - all is forgiven!!!

Great post - couldn't agree more.

Nothing to forgive really, as long as people can adjust their expectations accordingly…

Can’t say I miss the never ending emoji "clues"… felt a bit juvenile IMO

 

[gbatman]

How's his record?

How's his record?

He’s only got one mid working at the moment, Cerra.
