Who's the best coach getting around?

Who's going to be the first one sacked?

Best: Hard to argue against Clarkson.
First gone: Richardson

Best - Clarkson, Pyke, Longmire

First to be sacked - Richardson, Lyon, Bolton

Top 3 for mine would be:

1: Clarkson: To remain so competitive for so long is amazing with today's concessions etc. Especially with the players he's lost along the way.
2: Simpson: His record this season speaks for itself, everyone wrote the Eagles off and now they are well and truly flying wherever they play.
3: Longmire: Similar to Clarkson without the same "ultimate success" record, Sydney are always on everybody's radar, even last year when they were dead and buried early, they sent a chill through all of those who they may have faced off in the finals. As benny said yesterday, his ability to bleed the kids through the system is very unique, they don't seem to produce many duds.

Bottom 3:
Cameron: Has done nothing with the strongest list imaginable, reminds me of Port in the early 2000's but isn't going to finish it off this year like Port finally did in 04.
Lyon: Similar mould, took a strong squad that was on the verge of something spectacular and turned it to poo.
Richardson: The Saints seem to be a club just happy to take the field and have a kick, they are probably the team most farthest away from a flag at this point.

Interesting one, it appears on social media many crow supporters would rather see him gone?

I'm neither her nor there with him, took on a tough emotional-ridden role, has an impressive win/loss ratio, failed in the big dance last year and has been smashed with injuries this season.

I'd have him slightly above mid-table.

It's a funny old gig though, wasn't long ago the pitchforks were out for Buckley, now look at the Pies, he's even got the beard happening.

Clarke, Simpson, Longmire, Brad Scott are the best.
Richardson to be sacked first.
Worsfold useless but won’t be sacked just yet

Buckley still hasn't done anything of note so it's not anywhere near as funny as those calling for Hardwick's head 2 years back when he said "This is the most talented list I've had at my disposal" when they finished 8-14 in 13th....then go on to win the flag.

Really? I haven't heard that in my circle of crows fans.

Not sure I would have him up there as the best but I certainly think he's a good coach and would be happy to have him around for a lot longer.


Interesting that nobody has mentioned Hardwick yet. He deserves a lot of credit for his coaching last year.

1. Clarkson
2. Longmire
3. Hardwick

B Scott and Simpson close, Beveridge would have been in that list 12 months ago

Beveridge was my favourite coach to listen to 12 months ago, he seems to have lost it a bit since. Going to be interesting to see how he goes from here.

Clarkson
Longmire
Hardwick

May have got complacent after his rise to the top, a-la Mark Wiliams.

I think Beveridge could potentially be one of the first moved on of the current coaches. Something is going on down the kennel that's not quite right IMO. You get the vibe its his way or the highway.
