Certified Legendary Thread Alastair Clarksons.

[Shermanator]

Are we talking about the same club ? We are not shrewd enough to be doing something like this imo.

I know Event Horizon deleted the post but I saw it here and The Prez not having the balls to approach Clarko is just hilarious.

I mean, she's got the balls to actually take the on the job of running the footy club, sacked Noble.

The misogyny from folks who are frankly pissants in the great scheme of things is just breathtaking.

Her willingness to make the tough decisions was my only initial query, but she’s well and truly dispelled that over the last few weeks and frankly I don’t know how anyone can dispute it.

My old man learnt English growing up and working on Lygon Street and he calls us Norsé (can’t pronounce the th)

Sooner we start playing like beserkers again the better.

You are taking my deleted post out of context. Which is why I deleted it after just a few minutes because I realized that idiots may well take it the wrong way. I was right.

I have a lot of time for Sonja and trust her to handle this the way it should be. What I was saying was that the whole Ponting story has two possible “looks” about it. One being that we’ve already had talks with Clarko and Punter is just doing an extra bit to push him towards accepting it. The other “look” may be that we don’t have the balls to talk to him and are trying to gauge his interest first. That wouldn’t be a good look.

That’s not to say that’s actually the case.

Anyway, thanks for quoting the deleted post and taking it out of context.

New people in town mate, not the dullards who thought they'd get Dusty and Kelly in October by announcing it in March.

 

[Caracas]

Nah we just "want it over" apparently. Just hire whoever.

Really professional way to go about it, that type of thinking is exactly why we are in this position - yet posters keep falling for the same clowns saying it.

Thankfully, posters won’t play any role in coach selection. That includes us all.

This is an often forgotten part of things.

It always made me laugh when Carlton chewed up Bolton and spat him out and then thought they would have Clarko ride in on a white horse desperate to coach them.

Like you just ground a mentee of his to a pulp, why in earth would he go there?

Anyway I look forward to a process I have no say in being over and we have some clear air for our new coach to build from where we are.

Also, Clarko will want to give the impression that this is the real deal. He's doing things properly.

So if and when you get a call from Clarko about joining his North team, you can be assured you're going to something that's legit, and built on solid foundations from the ground up.

I also reckon his requirement for the Noble exit to be handled graciously and with dignity is a kind of practice run for the admin so he knows he's coming into a competent shop.

If we can handle that well - hello magical Geoff Walsh process - then he's reassured we can handle the other stuff well.

 

[GoNorth]

Seemed like a good idea but you’ve started something now…

Give Clarko a reason and he'll come running...

I cbf going on about it, but when you write that a female President doesn't have the "balls" to do something, how people interpret that is on you.

Well, an ex poster is now Prez, so that's not entirely true.

Pontings comments on a podcast with one of his mates are being taken way to seriously.

I reckon Ponting would feel a bit embarrassed that he’s injected himself into the story with just a couple of throwaway lines.

Nah. Norman would insist on meeting naked, so it wouldn’t proceed.

They share the same manager mate.

This stuff isn't throwaway lines.

 

[FlyHigh18]

Ponting ? sounds like Clarko hasn’t meet with the club then .

I’m struggling to sift through reality and this thread. Have we setup a coach selection panel yet?

And?

We may be waiting on Clarkson to make his decision if he hasn’t already.

A man and his dog….plus his 4 legged friend.

 

[Ashley B]

Here we all are waiting for Clarkson to turn up when actually Brendan Bolton will ride in on his horse ready to coach

 

[Mjs94]

Now there's a man who hasn't looked like being relevant since 1995:

What a man. Imagine him mindlessly repeating to Huddo that Zurhaar needs a run in the ruck to get some touches and confidence.

This is the best idea I've heard all year.

It was a sad day yesterday with the news my post was the best idea for 2022.

The boards are in a spot of bother. There's been hands on hips, petulant outbursts, personal abuse.
Don't get me wrong, I like it- a lot lol


The outlandish recruiting possibilities, the signing for sure of Amish Al. The shitmen on our list and their comparisons to well some great footballers.

I do think there's a thread right there where we can rate our current list against those they are similar to if not actually better. i.e.
Mahony- Pickett


I think we've arrived at rock bottom. And it can all be traced back to the covid off season cuts. The delisting of
Snake Baker. He was a wily old campaigner that's for sure.

He reminded me of Coronel Walter E Kurtz. Crazy, paranoid but somewhat entertaining.


So as we approach the seasons end, let's really look closely and who we be delisted from the boards. And who we bring on.





the horror, the horror.

Oh well Col Kurtz

Did I mishear that grab from channel 7 - it sounded like he said he would. Like if he had the opportunity he would. Not that he is going to or has a meeting locked in.

I have bad hearing. Can someone decipher the fck he actually said on the radio interview?

I thought his response seemed a bit tongue in cheek as he seemed to me to be chuckling while saying he would talk to Clarko. It has now been reported as "news" so I could have read it wrong.

Which is why I deleted it, because that's not what I meant. But you still saw the need to bring it up
