Not really related to MFC but what do people reckon the future will hold for Al Clarkson if Hawthorn lose tonight? will they consider moving him on as that will be 3 big chances at premierships in 4 years wasted.

    2008's win helps him, but who knows? They may well say, let's go with someone else. The only problem is, who's better than Clarkson? Lyon, Roos (maybe)? They're all tied up. I reckon they'll stick with him due to a dearth of options.

    Replace him with Mark Neeld

    I would vote for that

    They have such a promising side, a very good assistant that suits their make up might be a good option to take over. I'm reminded of when Scott took over at Geelong. With or without Clarko, geez I'd like us to have the talent the Hawks possess.

    I would love to see how a so-called "shitcoach" would do if given the reigns of a top of the ladder side. I suspect he'd do MUCH better than people would generally assume.

    Like Chris Scott was gifted a top team and a premiership.

    He's been there a long time, & for a while I wondered if he may come to us, thinking Roos may go elsewhere.

    Its turned out this way, so I think he may get one more there with the Hawks, after a fine season.

    Are you suggesting Simpson stay there?

    Your kidding arnt you ????!!!!!????

    Clarkson inherited a rabel.... He rebuilt that team like we could only dream roos can do for us.

    They would be very foolish to get rid of him.

    They risk going backwards while there window is still open by changing coaches now.

    Sorry... Obviously confused you. If you read my post I am talking about Chris Scott, not Clarkson.

    Scott was handed a top 2 team and a free premiership.

    However you are right, Clarkson rebuilt the Hawks.

    He's safe

    Can't believe how sloppy both teams were defensively tonight for 2 of the best 3 teams in the league. Clarko sure would've come under some heat but I think he would've survived, but the subsequent performance review might have been messy

    Yeah that's exactly what i am suggesting, if the Hawks don't win the flag maybe it's time for a change, Clarko has been there a while and i know alot of Hawthorn supporters who are starting to doubt the teams ability to win big finals, although they got over that last night i reckon haha.

    but yeah, my suggestion is, if they don't win the flag from this position which imo they should, Freo are good but i'm not sure they will be good enough to beat Hawthorn in a grand final a tthe G then would they look at maybe installing Simpson simply because the change can sometimes help them take that extra step?

    don't get be wrong i'd much rather Simpson come to MFC but..

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
