I believe Batesy has it mixed up and it’s the Piss, Punt, Pussy, Powder.
Unless you play for the Glen Waverley senior football team then go your hardest.

You need to get over that.

Yes I know what you mean but these things can have long term traumatic impacts, personally it has taken the appointment of Clarkson to finally get closure on Brad Scott

This place is going to deflate like a pricked balloon if Clarkson's Round 1 forward line has Mahony on one flank and Turner on the other.

What NBA coaching great Steve Kerr learnt from Clarko​

Four-time NBA championship-winning coach Steve Kerr has revealed how AFL coaching great Alastair Clarkson provided “creative ideas and thoughts” during the Golden State Warriors’ first round playoff series win over the Denver Nuggets in April.

Just a week after Clarkson said his return to coaching had been inspired by watching the Warriors at close quarters earlier this year, Kerr told the Herald Sun he was delighted to hear this week the four-time AFL premiership mentor had joined North Melbourne as coach.

“I’m thrilled that he’s back coaching the team he once played for in Melbourne and I have no doubt he’s got the energy and the fire to do a great job,” Kerr said of Clarkson’s new role with the Kangaroos.

Clarkson spent several months in the US on a fact-finding mission after his departure from Hawthorn, spending part of his time with six-time NBA champions Golden State and NFL giants Green Bay Packers.

He developed a strong rapport with Kerr — one of the most respected coaches in world sport – and provided some input when embedded with the coaching staff as they planned to negate the influence of Denver’s back-to-back NBA MVP Nikola Jokic.

“Al had a lot of creative ideas and thoughts which really helped me navigate our championship run,” Kerr said.

The Warriors won that first round series against Denver 4-1, before ultimately going on to win the championship 4-2 over the Boston Celtics in June.
Kerr said Clarkson made an impression on the coaching group in his time at the club. The pair have kept in contact in the months since.
“Alastair was wonderful,” he said. “We compared notes every day, shared thoughts and stories and developed a real friendship.
“I think it was helpful for Al to watch our players interact at practice every day and to see how we go about our business. For me it was great to be able to lean on someone who has sat in my seat for many years and enjoyed great success coaching.”
Clarkson was spotted in the background of a clip on the NBA’s Twitter account of Golden State star Klay Thompson arriving at San Francisco’s Chase Centre for Game 5 of the first round playoff series against the Denver Nuggets.
He had been wavering on whether he wanted to coach at senior AFL level again after departing Hawthorn under difficult circumstances at the end of last season.
But he said his time at Golden State, in particular, stirred his competitive coaching juices.
Clarkson said: “I spent a lot of time with the Golden State Warriors and Steve Kerr … They were starting their playoffs and I was sitting in discussions with Steve and Ron Adams and Mike Brown and Kenny Atkinson and their coaching crew.
“They’re planning a big playoff series against Denver — and they (Denver) had the MVP (Nikola Jokic) on their side — and there was this enormous strategy around how they were going to defeat Denver and negate the influence of this significant player for them.
“I watched that discussion then unfold into training sessions where they needed to go and practice and execute it, then a best-of seven game series … I came back from there so inspired by what Steve was doing, first and foremost, and their success.
“I thought to myself, ‘this is what I do, this is in my DNA’.”
Kerr, who won five NBA championships as a player in his time at Chicago and San Antonio, was last year named as one of the top 15 coaches in NBA history.
He won his first NBA championship as a coach with Golden State in 2015 — coinciding with Clarkson’s fourth flag as Hawthorn’s coach — before taking the Warriors to title wins in 2017, 2018 and 2022.

No idea why people want Blakey gone, he had nothing but success as a defensive coach at Sydney and now that he's arrived for a cup of coffee its time to give him the arse because he hasn't got any defensive cattle to work with, in a year where David Noble was head coach?

Give me a ******* spell, some of you are deadset headhunters looking for a bloodbath.

He couldn't even coach his son to pick North. :stern look

I think considering the coaching/footy dept shitshow since 2016 all staff should be in the gun to some extent. Yes there’s different regimes and eras in there but all should be accountable.

Sure I’m not saying sack everyone else but they should be answerable and expected to explain the situation and present how things can be different as to what they can offer. If they can do that fine stay on but again all should be looked at pretty hard. We have invested heavily in key pieces in Clarko/viney now let’s ensure we don’t let it down by their support.

I’m not saying it’s Blakey’s fault. But all coaches have differing levels of culpability in the current results

He’d be good for us.

We need a bit of arrogance, as long as it’s in check.

Clarko’s Cluster from the inbounds pass really had The Joker baffled.
