Football Department Review

[LP]

He gets a $1-1.5M free courtesy of Haw, Coll will throw the kitchen sink at him.

They all have to obey the soft cap though, the soft cap tax/fine is enormous, I believe a sliding scale up to 50% of whatever you spend as overs.

However, it is one of those AFL discretion things, so you just know it won't be apply equitably.

That may be true, but professional organisations do not and should not be run like that.

I've never worked in the corporate world, so I can't say I really understand the corporate mindset - is this an extension of the trophy mindset ? Trophy home, trophy wife, trophy player, trophy coach ? If not, then I can only assume that these are people stuck in an atomistic, mechanistic mindset -the best players plus the best coach plus the best facilities etc. equals success. Well that's wrong. Modern science has made it clear that relationships between things are where it's at. Which is why other clubs have success and we thrash around looking for Peter Perfect.

Peter (Brock) Perfect died!

Results tell you alot. Bolton had 4 wins from his last 43 games. That's not donkey work, that is just a donkey. No fool in their right mind keeps a coach with a 9% record from his last 50 games no matter what our culture is like. That's just embracing failure.

Bolton could never pass for a coach.  Fail on every level.

I was thinking of the character from Whacky Races, one of my favourite early childhood shows. I'm not into car racing, so I didn't know that was Brock's nickname.

You keep trotting the 4 from 43 line, but I maintain the club blinked early. You say it wasn't donkey work, mate it was 100% donkey work given where the list was at. Boltons early days were akin the the GWS and GC early days given the age and experience of the list. Clarkson wouldn't have done any better IMO, he is showing it this year at Haw.

Reckon Clarko has been trying?....when Mitchell came back from WC he would have known what was going on and the likely outcome with his old pal Jeff waiting to send him on his way. I think he has just played the year out without much care knowing he was about to get one mill plus free in a payout and then walk into another job of his choice.
He has been very cool and collected for a bloke who has been driven out of the job and usurped by his understudy Mitchell, reckon Clarko knew exactly what he was doing this season and had his foot off the gas for a large part of the year.

Plausible but unlikely IMO.

Plausible but unlikely IMO.

Clarko has been telling porkies for a while like how keen he was to coach next season and continue his work with the Hawthorn youth as he had his passion back, 1.2 mill seemed to dull his interest real quick. Caro has been right so far, I'll be interested in what she says about Clarko having a year off too when the offers start coming in..

Stated on the news he probably wont field offers in the next 3-4 weeks. Looks like he is favouring a year off.

[kruddler]

OK, i think i've worked out the outcome this review was supposed to have.

Lets look at some facts.
1. Outgoing president stated Teague will coach 2022.
2. Clarkson is sacked and will sit out 2022 and get paid to do so.

Joining the dots....
Clarko coaches us in 2023.
