Is Alistair Clarkson worth a discussion

Should Melbourne be having a chat to Alister Clarkson with him open to the idea of Hawthorn making a big decision on his future. Could there be an option for us to get him at the end of the year.

    Not sure about Alister, but his brother Alastair Clarkson could be worth giving a call.

    Knowing Mahoney, he would be talking to Rodney Eade before he does Clarko

    Denis Pagan,  Michael Malthouse are both available, too.

    I'm sure you see my argument, and I accept it is not total, but that would be my concern.

    If he cares anything about his legacy he would decline even before we asked him.

    We need to ask the question... Goody surely has KPI's in his contract he is getting no where near, giving us reason for early termination. 

    He has had his time, we need to make a move now before it's too late.

    Mahoney and most of the FD need to go.  Whatever they've tried to put out on the field is now toast and they've been dishing this rubbish up to us for all but a handful of games in the 2nd half of 2018 plus two finals .

    This all started from the woeful capitulation to the Pies in the final round of 2017 when they had nothing to win for and we had everything but the game played out, in terms of effort/spirit, the complete reverse.

    That's ok, coz Mahoney will be gone at season's end as well. Hopefully Perty has already been in the ear of Clarko.

    Knowing the Dees, we will promote him again. 
    Probably promote Tmac to Captain and Chaplin to head of coaching while they are at it

    Agree oli. Everything at the Dees is all roses apparently, not sure what we are all complaining about.

    Clarkeson has coached for the last what .... 13-14yrs with an unlimited football dept budget.
    No way would he come here on our shoe stringer. 

    And as I stated back when we appoonted Goodwin.
    He was obviously a poor decison maker.
    Got sprung gambling on games, then got tangled up in the Essndon drug saga, and then accepted the position of head coach of Melbourne.

    Whoever takes this job on would have to be up for abit of career suicide.
    The issues with this club are far deeper than the coach.

    Complete no brainer. 

    I'd put him on the list, while we're at it... He can't be worse than a few others.

    Ross of the Lyon variety for me. Firstly Roos instilled 3 years of his mantra into our playing list and most of them are still on our list. Roos taught everything he knew to Lyon so we would be able to quickly assimilate to his playing structures. Clarkson likes tall and lean kids with great skills, or small and fast forwards... most of which we don't have. Clarkson may rate our side but it is completely different to what he is used to managing.

    I reckon Clarkson could get our midfield playing like his '08 midfield. They're similar in many respects. I'm not convinced Alastair has any new tricks left, but his current list is ordinary. I don't think comparing his current list with our list is that apt and that if he had a better list, he'd get more out of them. See Hawthorn's ordinary list in 2018.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back at the MCG and have a massive challenge ahead of them as they take on Premiership contender the Gold Coast Suns. What do you want to see from the Dees today?

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
