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

[DunderHead]

Is Robbo giving away content to the article he is preparing to write if we land Clarko?

 

[Cyber_punk]

Imagine getting the chance to line Whateley up, with a bump? Would you be willing to get weeks, to run through him??!

Barry Hall on Brett Staker...

What will MB be then?

A lobbyist on our behalf. They have a relationship.

 

[TruRoos7]

Merrett backing Ruts and throwing the playing group under the bus as they are the ones who are worried about the review.

Yep I assume reinforcing that North want him and providing another voice given MB was on the board at one point. Seems like a shrewd way to go as they are already mates and is it business partners.

okay de rauch, it is obvious that the newspaper add didn't work. time for plan b

 

[Samsquanch]

What if there is dip involved?

Really. You dip the chip?

What chip dip would you pick if you could pick a chip dip?

The saltiness in Sheedys quotes is a good sign for mine. Was so damn salty.

Gerard doesnt want us to get Clarko. If we do he will have a conniption. Good on Robbo for trying to mount a defence for us.

It’s TV mate. It’s not real.

They each decide what stance they’ll take and role they’ll play before they go on air based on their personas and use that as the basis for the tension of the show.

If they sat there and agreed with each other all night it would be even more boring that it already is.

People get so sucked in by this cheap vaudevillian schtick.

 

[Souup]

The regret in Zach Merret's voice and words when reflecting on the fact that he signed a long-term extension with Essendon in the hope they'd get out of the mess they were in when he signed was palpable.

Not sure I've seen anything like it - speaks volumes of the state that club is in and how the players are feeling.

 

[KickItAnywhere34]

One thing I don’t think has been mentioned - right at the start of 360 Robbo said Essendon HAVE NOT spoken to Clarkson and only enquired via his manager.

You could be right but last night Gerard and Robbo both agreed Clarko to Essendon. Things can change

Given the “soft” deadline is tomorrow. Do you think we could have an answer by cob?

I've now started referring this thread when explaining the passage of time. My partner wanted to talk about work again, but I said no, last time took seven pages.

They ran a protection racket then last night because neither of them couldn’t get enough of Clarkson will be coach of Essendon by Friday. So they were vehemently agreeing with each other 24 hours ago.!!!

It’s just another version of Gogglebox but starring Robbo and Gez.

I don’t think the media will get anything but I think the club will.

When you think back to commenting in Part 1:

He sounds like a great guy, the look on his face was hard to watch

Either way I am microwaving my membership card.

Oh wait it’s on my iPhone, **** that’s going to be expensive!!!!

 

[Warrboy]

Ok this is what I just received and it’s a very very very reliable source -

Apparently Clarko meeting with Mark Brayshaw tomorrow. MB not working at North but is very pro AC taking the North job.

How many different sources have provided you information re Clarko to North saga?

 

[blackshadow]

Or he has been told that's the way Clarko is going and it's the way to look like a hero.

My take is that * know he's not interested it's got back to Robbo.

He's also been across the Clarko to North for a long time.

Nice little dig at the * power brokers in the article too.
