Al Clarkson

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.

Far out I would love to be in their shoes...

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.

If he moves on it will be to WC.

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..

He's safe

but the walls aren't...
