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

[Billy Not Really]

He is not the problem nor can I even begin to accurately point to him as the problem when the biggest problem obfuscating other problems is culture, mindset and mentality from the players and also just a general lack of a good solid rounded list with little to no passengers.

Sorry but not sorry if this club has gone through this many coaches in this amount of time and nothing is really working other than the odd sugar hit these players love to have before back to their old ways. There is no coach on this ****ing PLANET that can fix what is hard-coded by now in our playing lists’ minds.

These men are ****ing BROKEN.

 

[Horizons_00]

Yeah the guys that can’t hit a simple pass , make decisions with ball in hand or in a defensive grid.
Stupidity is what we excel in

When we are switched on though we hit targets, make good decisions, number one pressure team. All of a sudden even players like Teakle are playing their role and look a million bucks etc

Its between the ears
We also don't have the drive to excel or improve due to our weak mentality

Absolutely mate!

Might be a bit of both mate.

Coaches can need a good hard review without it implying or meaning a sacking.

We were saying the same shit about hawks uninspiring list this year. Put a Sam Mitchell layer, attitude, few veterans and "bring your mouth guards to training" kind of standards to our apparently "shit" list and watch us climb

We were the number one pressure team after the bye = look how amazing we looked. Imagine adding the above to that mentality after the bye

We are soooo mentally weak it's pathetic

 

[r_boy]

I reckon he's got a bit of a boo hoo me attitude with this Hawks scandal s***.

Get on with it mate, there's no excuse for the last two weeks. That goes for the whole club

 

[apollo_creed]

For a side that should be improving we’re not. And as a modern coach not sure he’s the right guy. Rarely are coaches like Clarko in the system for 20+ years successful the second time around. The game moves on.

Wouldn’t sack him but his job shouldn’t be safe next season if there’s no notable improvement.

Part culture too, as we have a number of the same on-field leaders as the last 4 years.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Worse than last year.

Got the club absolutely humming along.

Good stuff.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Malthouse 2000 vs Malthouse 2014.

Discuss.

What’s it say about the club when even one of the greatest coaches of all time can’t get any sort of a rise out of the players.

 

[Ardent Roo]

It's the cattle, not the cowboy.

You cannot blame the putrid efforts of the last 2 weeks on the list. It is the coaching.

 

[Ardent Roo]

Sooner he goes the better. Totally and utterly out of answers. Been saying it for 15 weeks and finally a few more of you have realised it.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

He’s a decade removed from when he was relevant.

He’s cooked.

Was one of the greatest.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

People go on about improvement.

Where?

Some individuals have improved, but as a club there is absolutely no demonstrable improvement.

You know what the definition of insanity is, right?

We've seen the same results under multiple different coaches now.

It's the list. It's terrible.

Retention is the only pass mark you can ascribe to 2024.

You reckon there's a 100pts between our list and Hawthorn's? Sit down.

 

[footy2016]

Clarkson experiment has failed. Not his fault as no coach has worked for a decade. Clearly something absolutely rotten at the top and this playing group is broken.

 

[Chadwiko]

Sure let's change coaches again. Surely the next coach will finally solve all our problems.

 

[amaz199]

Don't sack him. If we can't do it with him at the helm, fold the club.

Just shut it down. There is no one more qualified than this bloke to get us out of this mess.

How the hell would any senior free agent player want to join our mob. You'd be insane to commit to the culture at Arden Street.

 

[Danni_Benson]

Huge steps forward. Thank god we got the messiah and got rid of those other coaches who were no good

Wonder if Gold Coast feel the same way with their premiership coach and they’ve actually got a list full of talent! Players need to wake the eff up!!

 

[ApplecrossWC]

How many years is he signed for?
