Certified Legendary Thread Alastair Clarkson II - signs 5 year contract w/ North Melbourne 19 August 2022 - news breaks p360

[domiroo]

Don’t want Clarkson at North thankyou. If he’s a prick . Essendon and Clarkson deserve each other .

 

[gerry101101]

Made up example of template journo tweet at the moment:

My sources are telling me that Essendon are definitely treating this like they believe they are in this race.​

​

Clarkson is not over the line with the Kangaroos, and I don’t think we can read too much into what happened with GWS. They were never the right fit for him geographically.​

​

My understanding is Clarko is interested in the Essendon position, but more will need to be thrashed out over the coming period given the complexities of the current coaching situation and events still to play out at Board level.​

​

It is being reported that the Essendon offer is in the ballpack of what Clarko was seeking, and that and their list situation puts them in a box seat. Still more to play out, but right now the mail is that Essendon have reason to be very hopeful here.​

Meaning:

Journo has called other journs and exchanged speculation. Tweet then prepared with all required qualifiers. Journo has no actual information or sources other than other journos. Next journo can build on the tweet by reporting this as ‘the current situation as known’ and then add their spin. Rinse and repeat. ​

Whose meeting? norths or essendons?

Mate I was joking, I have no "ITK", I don't do that.

All I know is I've decked out my (actually, not my) place with Clarkson pictures everywhere, sure my parents aren't that happy about it as a 41yo returning home due to health reasons.

Have this picture in the kitchen! I took theirs away as just something for them to think about our future!

In the wash up, who will be left in the media landscape with an ounce of credibility? Who?

It’s entertainment not news

 

[DocSholl]

Was waiting on nuts04 to confirm it, great news

You have a snag roll in your right hand

In your left hand you have sauce.

Is it Tomato or is it BBQ?

Probably a member of the bowls club, going by his username.

Seriously if this happens we need a BF drink session at a pub this weekend

 

[Lance Uppercut]

It's good to know that big name Essendon posters like Lance Uppercut are reading our board..

I mean, God, I was glued to theirs during the years long drug cheating saga that ended in 34 of their players being suspended for doping, in the darkest episode in the history of Australian sport.

Why don't we amuse ourselves while waiting for the final confirmation from Clarko by revisiting that magical time?

Which was your favourite moment? The best poster? The most amusing wigout?

Remember rines?

are you kidding me?

This thread is like crack!

KIA is my favourite character at the moment. Genius move by the showrunners

[big_e]

Probably a member of the bowls club, going by his username.

Or a mate of Corey's winding him up. Cos now he's posted this:

 

[tazaa]

Who is he please?

The mayor of Port Melbourne

Has Rutten signed with Essendon? They’re having a rubbish game. Don’t want them sniffing around.

Look at Nostradamus here.......

Always Tomato.

No contest!

A few people mentioned Buckley's interview this morning as good listening. I agree. I found it reassuring in the way he would approach the decision. Logical and methodical, dispassionate and considered. Not half the crap people post online or the media carry on with.

If Clarko takes this approach, which from all accounts he is, then we are in this up to our eye balls as many ITK's have said. Time will tell but definitely worth a listen if you are looking for some sanity amongst the hysteria.

Nathan Buckley (16.8.22)

Nathan Buckley joined Gerard to discuss the commotion at Essendon yesterday, and to explain why he thinks Ben Rutten is now in an "untenable position." After assessing the options ahead of Alastair Clarkson, he also chatted about Jeremy Cameron's injury, Zaine Cordy's upcoming tribunal...

Edit.... the only issue will be 28 mins later you'll have 25 pages to catch up on!!

It was probably the best bit of analysis by a professional broadcaster or journo of this whole sorry mess

Unless this contract with Hawthorn is a thing, I have no idea. Having to wait until next week to finally hear the result might be too much to bear for some of us. I sincerely hope we’re put out of our misery soon. Having said that, if it’s good news, I’m prepared to wait.

A small tax now: how the Hawks are paying out Clarkson’s contract

Hawthorn have taken a hit and paid a small tax to the AFL for exceeding the soft cap in the year coach Alastair Clarkson left but are confident his pay-out won’t affect their budget.

Financially it seems like it's done and dusted but there is quite possibly a no compete clause till the end of this season
