With David Rath (ex-Hawks) at the Saints and heavy hitters like Lethers & Gubby Allen could Clarkson be convinced to take up the challenge to get the Saints that elusive 2nd Premiership? (if we don't win it next year of course
![Wink :wink:](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
If the Bluescum and the Filth do go with other coaches I reckon we could be in the box seat to grab Clarkson as I am not sure he would be interested in going interstate (surely not to Gold Coast

As for other Victorian teams -
Beveridge (Bullies) is contracted to 2023
Goodwin (Dees) until 2022 - I can see him signing an extension
Hardwick (Tigers) until 2024
Rutten (Dopers) until 2023
Scott (Cats) until 2022 - could be extended but not sure Clarkson would want to go there as the Cats could fall off a cliff given their age demographic
Noble - (North) rolling contract - if North rises next year which they could then they may decide to keep him on - though Clarkson was ex-North player so might be tempted to finish where he started and there is plenty of young talent on the North list especially with the no 1 draft pick this year coming on board and likely another low draft pick next year
Could Clarkson after a year to refresh be convinced/fuelled to coach the Saints knowing that he might have 2 Kings and some exciting young talent at his disposal and finals ready Saints and not a basket case?
Clarkson is already an AFL coaching legend but taking the Saints to Premiership glory would surely be his greatest achievement and the cherry on top of an immense career
