No matter the result, Sonja comes out looking really good. Very comfortable with her leading us.
Well not so much if we are scrambling to find a coach after dedicating a whole month to one person at the exclusion of any other targets. That’d be my only criticism if this doesn’t work.
 
I love how Slobbo (can’t believe half you fools were praising him a few weeks ago. Now look how quick his true colours have shown) Lloyd and co have made this about getting a coach in to bring them to where they’re ‘supposed to be’ and only Clarkson is that coach. Rather than how they’ve poorly handled their own backyard

I feel like it's becoming less about Clarko for me
And more about not wanting to be beaten by the scum
If we win, they lose the big club tag…

They might as well accept they live out where all the factories are, they’ve still got a trust fund, but grand daddies name don’t carry weight anymore.
Get a job you bums

This is going to sound absurd, especially given my posting history 🤣, but I just had a chat with Sonja in the lobby at work. I had no idea we worked in the same building until this morning and my jaw dropped given I was up till 2am reading every bit of info on the clarko status.

I told her I was a big fan of her work - she was definitely surprised I recognised her. Asked who i supported and was pleasantly surprised when I responded with “North”. We went to get in separate lifts (the building has one of those lift systems that sends people in different lifts for different floors). Just as she got in she turned to me and said with a cheeky smile - “let’s just get through this week 😉”.

Now before you all go jumping the shark - this doesn’t mean anything substantial - but it was nice to see our President is as friendly in person as she has appeared to be on TV. I’m holding my faith and I reckon she’s a good operator #inSonjaweTrust
I always forget clubs presidents have other jobs/roles. Looked it up and I occasionally do contractor work in this building. I’ll be on the look out in future.

I have confidence that we aren't as dumb as all in on Clarko. We would be doing our homework regardless of a verbal offer or not.

This is the biggest takeaway. The media will skin her alive but she has done almost everything perfectly.

“Oh NoRTh hAVe MisSed On ClArKo, SilLy prESiDeNt fOR GoiNg AlL-iN”.

The facts are simple - the only person we have “missed” as a result of going all in on clarko is Yze. Mind you - he CATEGORICALLY ruled out even applying in the first place. The only risk of going all-in is that you are left with everyone else taken - this isn’t the case here.

I guess that’ll prove one way or another post Clarko, I think an extra month would indicate we had no plan b and prove to be problematic for our offseason work
 
The fact we've got to this week as the only live option with a coaching vacancy means the president has done it right IMO.

I assume "soft deadline" simply means we start assembling the selection subcommittee if he hasn't answered is by then, and that's fair enough.

Losing his signature to fricken Essendon would sting, but I've been really impressed with how tight a process this has been.
