Now that I have your attention, it beggars belief that not once has Alistair Clarkson been voted by the AFL Coaches Association as Coach of the Year. See Caro's story here.

My reason for starting this thread is really to question whether we put too much faith in coaches generally to make wise decisions. I wonder how many get involved in day-to-day decisions not directly in their specific area of knowledge, such as decisions on individuals to be selected at the draft?

    Tricky thread title there LD-vC.

    Don't really know about coaches and wise decisions. 

    But Clarkson would laugh and laugh at missing out on a mickey mouse award...

    ...he has 4 premiership cups that says AFLCA are idiots!!

    The logical conclusion of the article, and the examples used to support it, is that the grand final winning coach would always be the coach of the year. Probably the right conclusion btw, in these days of equaliseverything. So why do/would they even bother with a year-long-voted award? Not only mickey mouse but probably daffy ducked, too.

    I don't care how good Clarkson is, if the Dee's play finals this year I want to see a statue of Paul Roos at the G.

    A little too much interest given to the Poos and Wees of late...

    Who cares about the Hawthorn Coach really ?

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
