Wow, what a great day! Even brought me out of 'retirement' and back onto the North Board (the only Board, pretty much). Fantastic letter to members from Sonja too.

All I can say to our Pres is "thank you, thank you thank you!"

If you told 9 year old me in 2012 that Clarko will coach us in the future I wouldn’t of believed you

Damn you're a youngin

Clarko mentioned that Viney pretty commited to his Angus's, Him, steevo and Cunners will be thick as theives.

CAPTION THIS:

"This place has changed... Right over there were toilets which had a hobo population greater than how many premierships I've won"

 

[El Triggso]

My biggest takeaway from the presser is that he was NEVER remotely considering * and only took their call so they wouldn't feel like the losers that they are.

Barham’s Ralph Wiggum moment…

Leadership

That was impressive.

It was mind blowingly impressive!

Its a bit scary really. Here comes a juggernaut, the only thing that'll stop us is ww3 or a humungous asteroid.

 

[sruss]

Yeah I’m a cheapskate I know, but it’ll do the job

 

[Ashley B]

heres to Clarko who shouted out Shimma TWICE in his speech,

Well we did have 2 Shimmas

Wow, what a great day! Even brought me out of 'retirement' and back onto the North Board (the only Board, pretty much). Fantastic letter to members from Sonja too.

Welcome back mate. I reckon you owe me a beer

Finally, a Coach I might be taller than.

 

[ferball]

He's definitely a different bloke now than he was in his early Hawthorn days.

He doesn't strike me as a Malthouse at Carlton type older bloke, he's gotten the lay of the land, really studied abroad looking at successful dynasties like the GSW with another astute student of the game in Steve Kerr, and he really did his due diligence when it came to selecting one of the three clubs.

Would Essendon have had a greater chance if they started their process earlier? Absolutely. But I think the sentiment, the history of the club, the list potential and the challenge would have brought him over the line and Sonja handled this process really well to get him there.

The club can really breathe a sigh of relief for now and relax for a time, and get really stuck into work and 'roll up the sleeves' as Clarko mentioned often in that presser that the on-field success can really begin.

Dude, this shit has destiny written all over it.

One day we'll all look back and it'll be obvious it couldn't have happened any other way.
