Coach Alastair Clarkson - NMFC Senior Coach - Coaching & Football Discussion

[Sphynx]

I meant the “evidence” provided to Egan - the AFL would have made sure Hawthorn provided them with that.

How do you know there was evidence provided to Egan?

Given what has since emerged with him, I highly doubt his investigation was completed to a level to be legally tested.

 

[Hearts to hearts]

This has been blown out of proportion.

Also I don’t think it’s great for a coach on the sideline - who is down there to talk with and focus and guide players coming on and off the ground - to be watching the game and venting like an angry fan. Unpopular opinion but I think he does need to be better than that for the players he is there to help. It isn’t the same as doing it in the box.

There’s an obvious solution to this moving forward.

He goes back in the box lol

That way he can break things and swear to his hearts content.

It's also only a story because of his own actions earlier in the season

“Clarkson used 2 of the worst words in the English language”

I don't care about the first word, but he should not be using the second word.

Having said that, I do like how he has called out the umpires publicly .. by accident !!

 

[DarwinRoo]

He said Choc Chip Ice cream?

 

[Danni_Benson]

They were the worst ones ever in the history of humanity according to Mark Robinson.

The worst words ever.

In history.

Robbo would say those words in his sleep. The hypocrisy.

 

[DrZaius]

Unfortunately this is the culture we live in nowadays where if you cant swear you are unable to put a sentence together..

 

[shinboner_99]

I'd defy anybody not to use bad language if they were watching that deplorable display of umpiring on Saturday

Sleep...

Is that the same as drunken stupor?






Asking for a friend.

Were you the bloke sitting in the social club a couple of seats behind us?

Nah was watching on tv here in Tassie
My neighbour would of heard everything though lol

I don't think there's any way he can coach next year if undergoing a Federal Court case which likely has similar media exposure to the Higgins / Roberts-Smith Federal Court cases.

Putting aside the mental health toll he would be enduring, as his employer, there's absolutely no way you could confidently think we'd be getting fair value for his services with the amount of time he is going to have to devote to his personal defence, not to mention the court appearances.

Leave of absence and a interim coach pending the findings.

If he loses this case, he wont be working in football ever again, regardless, as well as undoubtably bankrupted.

Alternatively, he wins this case in isolation, his next step will be a 12-18 month defamation case with the Hawthorn football club and the ABC.

Clarko could be in and out of court for the next 3 years, even if he is on the winning end of it.

Fairly obvious your feelings about Clarkson's coaching have infused into your views on him across the board.

Nothing to do with it.

And a bit of a cheap shot tbh.

If it goes to Federal Court do you think he should remain coach?

I'd love to hear unbiased reasoning. His current coaching performance has come nowhere near my reasoning.

 

[shinboner magic]

We should have a press conference saying it happens many times at the footy but because there was **** all ppl there it was picked up.
Also during this we should have a video playing in the background of all the crap decisions we copped on the weekend

Just a nothing story. Generated some clicks and outrage so a win for morris and the rest of those f**king c***s I guess

 

[Mute Point]

Obviously the two worst words TM is referring to are jive turkey

I was told he said Pineapple Pizza

 

[giantroo]

 

[Rooniversity]

Wondering where the outrage was when a player called another player a s%tc^&t directly to his face on-field recently. It was easily lip-readable on tv. I don't really care about the language (anyone can swear, it doesn't really reflect a person's character, abilities or education either way in my opinion), just the double standards annoy me beyond belief.

Yep it has stood out from virtually the start of Clarkson coaching us.

 

[King Corey]

He still has to face the moral tribunal of the north melbourne forum.
