Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

    Posting unsubstantiated rumours on this website is strictly forbidden.

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

    Our moderating team are all volunteers & cannot moderate the forum 24/7 & as a consequence problematic content that contravenes our rules & standards may go unnoticed for some time before it can be removed.

    We reserve the right to delete posts that offend against our above policy & indeed, to ban posters who are repeat offenders or who breach our code of conduct.

    WE HAVE BUILT A FANTASTIC ONLINE COMMUNITY AT DEMONLAND OVER THE PAST 23 YEARS & WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE CLUB WE LOVE & ARE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT.

    Thank you for your continued support & understanding. Go Dees.


Clarkson assistant coaches record

Every chance that Sam Mitchell and Hodge can be added to that list in a few years.  Awesome record.

Re Roos thought processes.  I've often wondered how we ended up with Goodwin who had minimal coaching experience.  In fact just a few years at a dodgy club in turmoil.  

Goodwin was appointed about a year after Roos.  I doubt Roos spent that year idly waiting for him to walk in the front door.  There were occasional rumours of potential coaches but we will never know how many we approached who didn't make the grade or who knocked us back.  So, was it a Bradbury appointment? 

I still think Goodwin can be a good coach.  Was he the best around at the time?  Maybe, just the best we could get.

We wanted Dew. He would have effectively been a Clarko apprentice due to playing in 2008.

Can’t argue with these facts... 

I wish Goodwin nothing but success but just[ ] wonder what the thought process was when Roos was looking for a successor???[/b]

 

 

I’m sure it wasn’t simply “who has been an assistant under Clarkson”

Many of the great coaches had many players and assistants who went on to be great coaches themselves... or they became known as great coaches as a result of the success that came from being surrounded by so many players and assistants who were capable of being great coaches in their own right.

I’d be inclined to think that Clarkson has had a fair hand in the success that has followed him, but I wouldn’t discount the ability of someone simply because they didn’t complete a tutelage under him.

erm , these are just little factoids that at some stage will be broken, either Goodwin, perhaps Hinkley, perhaps Rutten, perhaps Teague... it'll happen.

Mind, not a bad legacy at all.

Not bad?

Wow you're a hard marker. Clarko will go down as the best coach from the last 50 years. And his apprentices will likely have strong success as well.

FFS @jnrmac - I'm not typically in to your histrionics when you post, and your comment on the language I used in my post has raised my ire.  I use understated language out of respect  and of acknowledgement of the legacy of Clarkson, that might not be your cup of tea, but get your hand off it.

Agreed.  There was a time when Malthouse underlings were viewed as the next big thing.

Was it that Dew was sought out because he was a Paul Roos protégé?

 

So begs the question who of note was it that tutored Clarko to be the undisputed champion coach of the AFL?  He had a fairly short coaching apprenticeship by modern standards. 

 

Not disputing that the guy has an enviable record or that some of his assistants have done ok as well, but personally I think some of this Clarko midas touch on assistant coaches is a bit overrated at times.

What about Chris Fagan? Not a premiership coach yet but has lifted a team dead in the water to a genuine threat in the near future in only his third season.

Now this is interesting. Fagan was widely credited with being a crucial part of the HFC brains trust and a steadying influence on Clarko who could "talk him down" when in a rage, and counter his crazier ideas.

When Fagan left, HFC insiders worried that Clarko had lost his minder and would be unchecked.

Now Fagan is having a great effect on BFC.

We may never know, but I wonder how much of the "Clarko effect" could fairly be called the "Fagan effect"?

Looking at it from another direction, top quality assistants are looking to work with Clarkson base don his reputation.  Therefore those applying or willing to work with him will be the pick of the bunch.

The thing I heard about Clarko before he became a senior coach was his determination.  AFL was holdings it first lv 3 coaching event, Clarko was not invited but turn up and join in.  He is a coach who knows what he needs to be successful and he is audacious enough to get it.  Hence his success.

Does that drive and his ability to delegate and build his assistants produce high quality coaches, maybe yes.  But success as a coach is traditionally seen as  80% players 20% coach/game plan.

There was a time, not so long ago, when the Malthouse coaching academy was all the rage...

With Malthouse it was a baseless 'herd mentality' in advance of any of his proteges achieving anything.  Few ever would and are no longer senior coaches:  Neeld, Sanderson, B. Scott.  Buckley may be the exception.

Some clubs were silly enough to take the hype and Malthouse's unabashed promotion of those proteges, seriously.

With Clarkson the plaudits are coming after his proteges have the runs are on the board.  Some will fail eg Bolton but he has a very good batting average. 

Chalk and cheese situations.

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer. The victory over one of the big dogs of the competition after a succession of wins over some of its lesser lights gave his team respect and validation fo

    HIBERNATING by KC from Casey

    When they locked up the rooms for summer at the end of last year’s football season, the rooms gathered cobwebs, the atmosphere became dense and the place developed a sleepy feel. They opened up the rooms to let Casey out to play on Sunday but the team was still hibernating and they missed the bulk of the opening quarter. By the time they worked out it was game on, their opponents from Box Hill had accumulated five goals and, if the game wasn’t over, it might as well have been. For a se

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head. The Demons have now won nine of their last ten encounters with the other result, a draw.     And like a fork, it was the multi-pronged options that Melbourne had all across the ground.  It certainly helped that Hawthorn
