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

[Mav]

Massive changes. With all of Ratts, Blakey, Brown and Boomer going that few people that are going to have to get up to speed very quickly with where Clarko is heading.

Have to assume Dew is a big chance to come on board.

 

[chubbspeterson]

The change is probably fair given he's assessed the place for 12 months but at the same time it's more change.
I hope we can settle down a coaching group somewhat from a player's point of view the next few years.

 

[Samsquanch]

Does anyone know wtf a development coach actually does?

I mentioned that Brown and Blakey have moved on to the better half a few minutes back. She's OK with that and also wonders what Brown's job actually was. She noted that Blakey has been virtually silent and was not the one who stepped up at any stage into the acting senior coach role so she is also OK with that. But then I copped a blast about Clarkson as she feels that we've been dudded ever since Laidley in terms of coaches and she's not yet convinced about Al-clarko. She added Viney for good measure.

And she's a lifelong North person.

If I am to get any peace, 2024 needs to be the year of the roo!

 

[Ashley B]

A few more off the bus now with Gavin and John leaving,must be getting roomier in there.

 

[tazaa]

With Boomer stepping down because he doesn't want to go full time, and now Brown leaving, do we actually have any current development coaches?

Kearney and Josh Gibson wherever he is lol

 

[Palpatine]

Kearney and Josh Gibson wherever he is lol

and Monky

 

[Bashnek]

and Monky

and probably Ziebs

 

[The acurate one]

So did I break the Blakey gone news. Not a bad guess

 

[zoomba23]

Playing the devils advocate here. Obviously I’m pro Clarko.

You could look at it as getting rid of dead wood and things that just haven’t worked. But at the same time, you could be thinking, the guy takes off for most of the season, and then swings the axe. That could feel a bit rich?

I would very much like know the reasoning for Blakey, couldn’t care about Brown.

That's not devil's advocate, that's pure bad faith. Clarko had a fair bit of time at the club either side of his hiatus. He'll be familiar with where things are at

Looks and is a far more measured approach than sacking coaches as soon as you join.

No it’s not.
I think it’s negligent not to look at this at all angles. A favourite premiership player lasts two-three years. I’d like to hear more than just putting faith into the coach.

 

[bennymate]

Schnoz would be nervous

I’ll back Clarko & Viney on this one.

He's been ok during a trying period, should be given time to work his magic with a settled team.

 

[Passmore]

I’ll back Clarko & Viney on this one.

A new coach is going to make changes to the staff he inherits.

Or as with most of these things, quite a few key people would've had input into the decisions.

 

[Themanbun]

He's been ok during a trying period, should be given time to work his magic with a settled team.

Now he actually has a role where he's accountable for something real and tangible, we'll know soon enough if he's up to scratch.

From now on, you will be known on here as the Nostradamus.

 

[RossHenshaw]

Does anyone know wtf a development coach actually does?

Obviously F all at North

 

[RightWingRoo]

Brown was overdue, Blakey more of a surprise but Clarko probably has someone lined up.
To follow on the discussion, think Tommy Lynch is a development coach along with his VFL duties.

I like it , get to go head to head with Nostrils.

Haven't heard much from him lately, hope he's ok.

 

[gokangas]

Not surprised to see the coaching outs but will be more interested to see the ins.

 

[Shinboner1]

Surely there's not much cash spent there?
Hope clarkos got 4-5 coaches coming in.

 

[Billy Not Really]

As much as change is good, this is a lot And it’s been nothing but personnel and coaching changes for years.

I’ll reserve judgement until replacements come in, all I ask is some stability with the new regime from here on out. The boys need consistency and quality, not just the latter.
