I think it will be down to Ratten and Teague. Teague doesn't need a wiser head. He is 11 years in the Coaching system and has seen 5 AFL clubs at work. The CV is big enough if he is chosen.
If he gets the gig it will be all about the support he gets from above that will make or break. If the Big guns are just 95% into him that that won't be enough. It's 110% or nada.
Ratts always gave me the impression he most certainly had the smarts but his failings were the lack of support from a few immediately above. Ratts was young and time was short back then. He was all about the footy and less about the politics of being a Coach. I observed he was abit knee jerk and manic to things not going well early on. I don't think he was trusting enough to accept the ideas of others and Carlton at that time was all over the shop with very little money. Only a few years earlier they were about to hand the front door keys back to the AFL.
With maturity and the wisdom of Clarkson in his back pocket, I'm hearing from a relative he is far more mellow than back in 2007. Just as smart but far more rounded and wise to the 'Big Picture' of being an AFL Coach.

You can just see the world weary experience in his whole being.
My hert breaks just to look at him tbh.
No doubt he'd be great for any club.
if I had to choose, would put Teague first for his fresh perspective and youthful vibe. He has great footy smarts as does Ratts.
Could cop Clarko as 3rd choice.
If Roos is the only way we get to keep Teague, then ok.
Huge waste of money for mine, but any of the above better than other options.
Out of those,

Scott.
he who shall not be named.
