Is it possible ... might not come cheap ... but geez it would be good. saw them on TFS last night ... just a quite dinner together

We would only have to wait 12 months for Hardwick

Head Coach - Clarkson

Defensive Coach - Hardwick

Head of Football - Viney

Throw in CC sounds like a superteam to me. Ok so I'm dreaming Hawks would never let him go ... or would they. Maybe the Kennett attack his more in it than we thought.

Go Dees

Ok, Ok a man can dream. Soooooory.

Love the cut of your jib - nice fantasy...

Yeah sorry, a man has to have a crack occasionally with those prospects in front of you ... its that close.

But most likely no cigar. B)

But you never know your luck in a big city. hehehehe

The main fly in this ointment is that Hardwick would never downgrade from a head coach job (which he's already put his stamp on) to what's virtually an assistant position. But Laidley might. Or even Ayres. No question that the defensive coach is going to be our most important assistant position.

And I agree that Kennett is clearly extremely worried about the possibility of the coach leaving just before he does. Especially as he'd be held responsible by the club and supporters for Clarko leaving. Which is more likely to happen if "Lyons" is the man to make the big pitch at Clarko. But this crude attempt at intimidating Gazza would have only made him more determined to have a crack.

That's the thing about bullies. In the end they always end up making more trouble for their own side than they ever did for their opponents.

What is possible is that the Coaching team that was there when the Hawks won their premiership a few years back decided to get together for a meal.

I love optimism, but seriously

heheheheh ... after the Richmond job most coaches are unemployable ... heheheheheh

But Dimma ... let me think about it ... if you had his mentor & Viney at Melbourne.

Anything is possible. B) B) B)

But would all be based on the Tigers making the 8 next year. Just as their board have promised!!!!! ... hehehehe

Hi Caro ... Up yours baby.

Sorry, thought this was a serious thread.

Exactly. One of the problems with some Melbourne supporters is that they come up with fantasies like this. Yeah let's not poach one other team's coach let's get two.

It's not all that far-fetched.

I wouldn't be surprised if Gaz Lyon had a massive dip and at bringing Clarkson to the Dees. In fact I'd expect it.

It would be a huge coup and a massive fillup for us going forward.

Clarkson/Viney has a superb vibe about it. Tough, aggressive, smart and a 'lil bit nasty.

I don't doubt that at all it's just suggesting we get Hardwick as an assistant as well is just plain fanciful.

It's completely far-fetched, for exactly the reason RobbieF points out.

Clarkson/Viney/Wellman has more chance of happening.

It would be great to get Clarko & Viney back together...They were Team mates as well as the 2008 success

ssssshhhhhhhh ... B)

I'd love Clarko. I love his combination of a good brain and almost psycho nature. Go Gaz. All your talk will be forgiven if you can land him!

It's completely far-fetched, for exactly the reason RobbieF points out.

RobbieF would have no idea the relationship between the three, he is as blind as a bat.

However, its all just my superteam.

PS Wellman has signed a three year deal with Bombers ... doubt we would get him out.

Clarkson/Viney/Wellman has more chance of happening.

Yip ... Clarko & Hardwick were at Port together under Williams ... B)

Plus when Clarko went to Hawthorn his assistants he recruited were Hardwick & Viney ... the bond is deep and very successful. B)

Plus there are a few other little things ... B)

However, first step in the process would be to get Clarko ... we might only have to wait 7-8 weeks. B)

If we did ... well then it would get interesting. Mind you thats a massive if. But you never know unless you have a crack.

Come on, its hardly a secret if even Jeff's twigged!

Why would that be oh great one?

You'd be relying on a young coach doing a good job getting the sack within 12 months and then coming to Melbourne as an assistant.

The big baboon with the big cahoonas hasn't signed him yet ... has he? ooooohhhhhh.

hahahaha ... we are talking about Richmond coach aren't we?

Wonder when his contract ends???? (shhhhhhh you didn't hear it from me B) )

Plus they got this stupid committment from their board ... hehehehe ... bloke is under more pressure than the Titanic.

Oh ... Yes and there might be this bloke called Malthouse floating around ... allegedly this Malthouse bloke can coach.
