Football Department Review

[PaulP]

Not really a surprise with Clarkson......I reckon Mitchell will coach alone next season and Clarko and Hawthorn will come to an agreement at seasons end, these hand over arrangements rarely work and the distraction of Clarkson being courted by other clubs through a season wont work IMO...with Clarkson and Lyon on the market I reckon its got a bit harder for DT. The temptation for a messiah might be too much for Liddle and crew....
Stewie Dew will also be stewing too as GC would love to tempt Clarko up North to drag the Suns out of the vegetated state they are in....

I think for the handover to work, you really need the main man who wants out. Parkin to Brittain, Roos to Goodwin, Worsfold to Rutten etc. When you have a main man who feels pushed (Malthouse / Buckley scenario), that's when it can get ugly. I can't get a read on Clarkson.
