So, there is an opportunity, for a club to get Clarko to coach their club next year, and pay him, literally, nothing.
Talking about it on fox footy and they used $1 as the figure.

Suggesting that you can pay Clarko $1 to coach (and he gets 900k from the hawks) and you use that extra 900k soft cap room, to beef up your department and get a leg up on everyone else.

Now, how would you do that....
Effectively 'front load' some assistant coach contracts, and hire someone else for the long term and his wages come from the money you've saved by front loading assistants.

IMO, the ability to increase you football department (for free) is a bigger coup than getting Clarko as coach.

If we do get clarko (i don't think we should), but i'd be more inclined to do so provided we don't have to pay him a cent in his first year.

Would he effectively work for free though? If we upped his $'s from 2023 he could.

Brad Lloyd with a target on his back?
Player cliques?...that isnt good but a fact of life at footy clubs, Collingwood won a flag with conflicting player cliques.
Selection Integrity...we could have told the review that was an ongoing issue....unjustified salaries..really???
Luke Sayers is meant to be very friendly with Clarkson....I'd be concerned for Teague.
