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

[tazaa]

So timeline. Clarko arrived home last night and spoke with the family.
Decision was made last night with his partner, son Matt and the manager present and one of the the first calls was to Sonja around 7pm.

From there I believe special coterie members and ITK’s found out 9:30-10oclock however we’re sworn to secrecy and as we know Damo was promised the story at AFL.com and he broke it at 9am.

I have been told all along that he was guaranteed but I’ve been burnt in the past and didn’t truly believe it. Polo shirt rule applies all the way long.

As much as I was confident he was done I didn’t believe it until Damo broke it. What a saga.

Massive props. Love the way you held the line. Honestly it made a huge difference to how I felt this week.

 

[Mitchell Madness]

How was he the first 15 years?

That's my point.
He has a lot of assistants that weren't afraid to say no.
When the hawks lost those assistant coaches, it went down hill

 

[Mofra]

Essendon vs North Rnd 1 an absolute certainty on the Friday night after this.

You'd think North vs Hawks would get a Friday night too

Too busy riding around Rye, what did they talk about at the * 9:30 presser? We sunk their battleship

LOL.

They just ghosted him!

Rutten walking to be an assistant under Clarko would be the icing on the ****ing cake

a couple of days ago - 'I can't see a reason why Clarkson would choose North Melbourne over Essendon'. Might have to put your glasses on, Cornes, so you can see better!!

Choppy Jnr

Sonja would make a great sniper, deathly quiet, super cool and always gets her target.

 

[Disco Dew]

Biggest rabble in the AFL. Ship em off to Norfolk Island I reckon.

Ok - I just wanted to take a moment - I was 6 years old when Barassi signed and my dad told me excitedly how we would improve. I remember it like yesterday. We headed off to the footy in early 1973 not knowing how the following 8 years would bring us so much joy. My dad is now passed but he being a former reserves and u19 player at North instilled the Shinboner Spirit in me. I’ve been lucky to watch all 4 flags live but today we’ve had our Barassi moment 50 years on ……and I have to tell you even though I had some ITK info …..I cried. I cried because this is the biggest thing to happen in the modern game but not only that it makes those injectors at Essendon look like complete amateurs. Anyhow have a great day and get to the game tomorrow it’s gone be one hell of a ride from here and I for one can’t wait.

Rapt for you mate. (and me and the rest of us. woooo ****en hooooo.)

 

[Nate7]

I wish i could be there for one or ten with you mate.

Anyone got a private plane they can fly me down in over the weekend?

I know a bloke.

 

[Todman]

History repeats.

John Kennedy coached North for five years in the 1980's Clarkson the same.

I don’t know why we are getting damo back from his freeze out

 

[ferball]

To everyone at the club who made this happen.

Well done. Can't speak highly enough of your efforts.

 

[KickItAnywhere34]

Longer I reckon - it's allowed him to work and plan with Sonja. Now it's official he has to pull back until 1 November or breach his Hawthorn no compete clause.

As I said was a done deal 3 weeks ago with only the “window dressing” required.

 

[bennymate]

More games at the MCG thanks

 

[big_e]

Also, **** Channel Seven for using a picture with the word Tasmania on it.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Absolutely thrilled.

Can’t help but think this might be a watershed moment for the infield success of our club.

It’s still going to be a long road, but the way Sonja has conducted herself and the experience of Clarko hold and our obvious young talent will hold us in good stead well into the future.

Exciting times.

Now. Shut up and buy a membership.

And they thought Walsh was just that.

Sonja is Tony soprano wearing gloves, Walsh was Paulie getting the job done

Incredibly well orchestrated from Dr Hood

I like window dressing, always have, must say I am a bit teary must be all this talk of window dressing

 

[The_Gek]

I think we should all turn up at the footy tomorrow to throw our support behind our girl Sonja & Patch

 

[GS WARRIORS]

That's my point.

Luckily Todd is coming to. And hopefully some more old heads that worked with him years ago.
