He's apparently pretty shattered he wasn't able to make it happen.

 

If you really want something you make it happen.

Some people value contracts too. What a funny inclination.

Going home is a different matter. 

What else is there to do at Whorethorn?

Interesting that you've made comments in the past about people honoring their contracts yet this is your stance on them this time apparently. Assistant coaches can't leave under contract unless it's for a significant promotion, so given he's already strategy coach for the Hawks and that's the role we wanted him for then he can't break contract.

Plus, why would you do your career the disservice of moving your apprenticeship from Clarkson to Goodwin.

Contracts in the AFL are so easily broken now. It’s no big deal. 

Going home to help break a 56 year drought is a significant pull. But he decided not too. 

Fair enough. But I don’t think he will be shattered by it

.....and the next time he leaves them (if he does) it will be to be a senior coach.

Well, let’s see which clubs are looking for a new coach soon then, hey?

I would think one of his best mates would understand the situation better than you, so perhaps best to not make assumptions.

I find it incredibly strange that somebody would want that information out there. I would find it quite awkward knowing that my colleague was “sorrowful” they couldn’t be elsewhere.

You tell us, TradeBreaker. Don't you mean "Scott Burns is confirmed for the Adelaide gig #ETradeBreaker©️"?

You really know where to dig..

Doesn’t change what I originally said though. If you really want something, you make it happen. 

Whorethorn obviously added Sweetener’s. They are good at that. They get what they want. 

Don’t forget who taught them 60 years ago...

Not happening now.

He was keen. Hawks upped the ante, convinced him that his future was with them and that they expect him to honour the second year of his contract. Would have been a perfect get for our current needs.

He's apparently pretty shattered he wasn't able to make it happen.

 

Huh? Hawks convinced him to stay yet he’s shattered he not coming to the Dees?

Fairly sure it's all explained in the post mate. If not, keep reading through the thread.

Assistants get the blessing to move on when it is a ‘promotion’ at another club. 

I believe it’s also a universal clause in assistants contract in the AFL.

It sucks.

  • AFLW REPORT: Adelaide

    Last week’s bitter disappointment turned into player-led resolve as Captain Kate Hore marched her team onto a pristine Princes Park under perfect skies.
    The #DeeArmy banner said Bring The Heat and the Demons delivered a fierce, high-quality contest and ultimately outworked and outpaced the gallant Adelaide Crows to win by 11 points.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

    Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.

They will travel 8 times including their home game in the Alice, their Gather Round game as well as a match against the Hawks in Tasmania.
