Coach Alastair Clarkson - NMFC Senior Coach - Coaching & Football Discussion

[The acurate one]

Had Aidan Corr come into my work with his lovely new wife yesterday. In a very brief chat, he volunteered that there had been an incredible amount of change at the club and that standards had definitely been lifted. Said Clarko was involved in everything, including reorganising all of the offices at Arden Street.

Yes I heard similar







oh stop it Matthew!!

And fyi I would have been deemed coloured and that is awesome. But I would have snuck in a reversed one in the whites only dunny's

oh well

The acurate one there will be segregation in place at Arden Street under the new regime.

But not based on such heinous lines.

Grand work man, good job. lol

As an aside my ex once said to me should we ever have travelled to SA early days during our relationship, that we couldn't have gotten on the same bus unless I was driving it. I did LOL.

Gave her 10/10 for racism.

The key thing I'd like to see from our boys is the immediate observation that we've established a new game style that can hold up when we have momentum and when we don't. (Obviously won't be perfectly executed in his first season but there needs to be an identity)

It's been pretty clear we've had to play absolutely bonkers for long enough to make up for the game styles we've played in the past and that has made us vulnerable when we're cooked.

Something that is workable in terms of sustainability and player longevity will go a long way in terms of producing consistent results hopefully putting the dreaded 'what North will show up today' to bed.

Clarko has to strike a balance with the playing group in terms of game style. Something that requires good kicking and running but doesn't tire us beyond catastrophic levels of vulnerability. A defensive structure that can withstand a barrage of momentum switching moments and slingshot when necessary as well as improving the forward line connection to the rest of the ground.

For the mids, some crucial changes need to be made at centre bounces and stoppages when we are required to stem the flow and defend. Tempo control will be crucial and our players will need to learn those mechanics when those situations come.

In order to win a flag, you have to win the close ones, stop momentum and slingshot the other way as well as identify a weakness in opposition and exploit. Good teams put the foot down on the opponents throat. A trait that has been ever so absent since our last premiership.

Clarko knows what's required, I hope the players can help in reaching that.

Great player, massively underrated. Hope he has a great career as a coach.

Meh, not really underrated. Rated fairly

 

[DuckYeah]

Agree.

Always a big fan of Simpson.

I notice Lenny Hayes brought straight back in by Lyon.

Big fan of his also in how went about his footy.

Lenny was a bull and a great contested player not fit to tie Cunners boot laces

North Melbourne star Ash Riddell (14.11.22)

Ash joined Sam and Simon to discuss the huge win over Richmond at Punt Road, Jasmine Garner's performance, previewing the Prelim, the timing of the season, Emma Kearney's move to the men's coaching panel, and more.

Ash speaks to Clarko's involvement in the Womens program - spoke to the group during the week, in the rooms on game day

 

[Ashley B]

One thing which is noticeable about Alastair is he certainly immerses himself in the Club. He knows our Club and how it ticks as he started with us. It is probably why he is so successful as he likes too know and involves himself in all facets big and small .

The top 6-7 players are all Vic based.

Not a big surprise.
