    But I really think he's in the Stef Martin camp of cooked.

    The writing was on the wall when Matt Spangher was brought in with 0 experience.
    Don’t think he is cooked. Reckon he’ll go to another club and be successful there.

    I have it from an extremely reliable source that he is impossible to work with in the coaches box - it’s his way or the highway. Nobody succeeds all by themselves long term - nobody. I was praying Clarko would do a year assistant coaching with us - I know I was dreaming but he seems about the only bloke that might be able to cut through.

    I also reckon from a distance his ego is enormous and he is too stubborn to admit his gameplay is shut rather than being unaware.

    Reliable source that has an axe to grind?

    Sorry I call BS. If he was hard to work with why would all those assistants work with him for so long? Two senior coaches stayed from 2015 to 2021.

    Yes I agree I think it's more to do with how much emotional energy he spends as a manager.

    He looks like he's got nothing left in the bank.

    Can't agree. We don't know, so why speculate.

    Because this is a fan forum and we speculate on just about everything?

    1. J.J. Keath and Bruce are needed back.
    2. Listening on ABC radio, Adelaide dominated.
    3. Recruitment needed.

    Based on body language I think he's down on his previous energy levels but he has plenty in the bank.
    We've had a tough week but we still have plenty to motivate us. We know he's an invested type, lets give him some time to see how we respond.

    The Wallis family tragedy, Varcoe's mum would have been devastating for Bevo and the club. No wonder he was down.

    He's my all time fav coach but to me all the signs point to him being buggered.
    Might just be for this season. That members message was hard to watch. Why doesn't he get an assistant to do some?

    Awful.

    I think it's been apparent prior to that also though.
