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 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.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
