A mans got to have a code.

Saints at Marvel is winnable, especially with the new coach boost. It would be a great moment.

So is Richmond. Have the chance to end Essendon’s season as well, which would be very very very satisfying. 9th seems about right for them for some reason I can’t put my finger on.

Oh, indeed.

Round 19 return? Clarkson, North discuss coach’s comeback​

Calling Clarko​

Alastair Clarkson and North Melbourne are working on a date for the coach’s return to the club this season, with round 19 shaping as the most likely option.

A source close to the situation, who didn’t want to be quoted, told The Scoop this week that both club and coach were in discussions about Clarkson returning to coach later this year.

The same source said that a round 19 return was most likely, given that North Melbourne face Hawthorn in round 18. It’s likely that all parties would want to avoid the heightened fanfare and media interest that would naturally come if Clarkson returned to coach against his old club, so a Saturday afternoon clash with Richmond a week later would represent a smoother transition back.

When this column approached Kangaroos president Dr Sonja Hood about Clarkson at the Australian Football Hall of Fame dinner on Tuesday night, she confirmed talks had begun.

“We’ve been in contact with Alastair about a return to the club that will see him coaching the senior team at some point before the end of the season,” she said.

Clarkson stepped away from his post at North Melbourne in mid-May in the wake of the Hawthorn racism investigation, with Clarkson stating that he needed to focus on his “physical and emotional wellbeing”. He had denied any allegations of wrongdoing.

Hood also went out of her way on Tuesday to laud caretaker coach Brett Ratten, whom she described as “one of the great people in football”.


Clarkson’s manager, James Henderson, was contacted for comment.

The dickhead McLure seriously couldn’t be f***** checking the fixture?

Would be great if a return was announced that those blokes that had the cartoon cut out of clarko last year showed up at the hawks game in bay 29 . Would have the crowd in raptures

Clarko's had time to consider where he stands in relation to everything going on. Would have had good advice from a legal standpoint and from the club.
His head will be much clearer and l'm sure he'll feel much more supported, not that he wouldn't have beforehand.

Things will progress along better lines than the previous AFL shambles and Hawforn's inept handling of the initial " investigation "

 

[pupstar]

Never in doubt

Yep never in doubt you say.

 

[Del191229]

The ground is being nicely prepared for his return.

Yeah cannot believe some doubting his return, He was never not coming back.

[Devington]

Good move. Ratten and the rest have more than held the ship steady while he's been gone, no reason he can't take his time getting back into the thick of it.

Barrett with the scoop (again), unless other articles have gone unposted.

No matter when he comes back, I think it would be appropriate to give an appreciation post to Ratten.

We could not have a better interim coach than this bloke especially when he had a reputation for having one of the keenest eyes for the game and building amazing relationships with not just the players, but people around him (his personality is so infectious). You can just tell everyone enjoys his company and he has a genuine connection to everyone he works with. He has stepped up in the heat of adversity and looked after his mate whilst the man's reputation was shit-stained. He has already got players playing how we always wanted them to play (Scott's improvement has been remarkable) and the opportunity he is giving to the youngsters just as things were seemingly looking very grim, made some good teams look very shaky.

I cannot commend the bloke's dedication and sacrifice enough especially when he is so humble about it all. Even if we may not get close to Adelaide on Saturday, I enjoyed footy again at Marvel after a completely dire stretch of games last year. We have improved massively in a very short period and I hope we make Melbourne home game footy a tough trip for interstate teams again like all those years ago.

Ratts you legend!
