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

[DarwinRoo]

Know a source that that overheard the convo that started the tension:

Ratts: Mortal Kombat on Sega Genesis is the best video game ever.

Clarko: I disagree. It's a very good game, but I think Donkey Kong is the best game ever.

Ratts: Donkey Kong sucks.

Clarko: You know something? YOU suck.

They can both **** off, it’s Ocarina of Time.

In hindsight I think this might be down to having a bigger senior list and therefore more AFL listed players able to take part in games. The Suns are probably going to win the VFL flag on the back of their 50 man list.

Very nice, reckon you might've nailed it. It ran counter to our list strength making your theory pretty solid.

Not even the best Zelda on N64

The VFL side did seem to bat above its weight.

In the middle of the season the vfl had a legitimately good team sheet, and yes, I rate Lynch as a coach; he has them playing good modern footy and I think the way Ford (as one among others) progressed to seniors fairly seamlessly is reasonable evidence

eh, not everyone's gunna be mates in a work place

Ratts and Clarko have both put up with a lot of s*** this year I tip my hat to them.

Who would honestly be surprised that there are disagreements at the end of this coaching shamozzle?

It's a miracle the whole thing didn't fall apart further during the season and has been handed back again without much fuss.

It's very possible Ratts was of the belief Clarko wouldn't return (despite what he was saying publicly to the media). Perhaps he genuinely believed he'd end up senior coach.

TLOU 1&2

Every other game is a bit disappointing afterwards.

Epic games, but Zelda OOT holds up even today

OOT is the goat. It’s not up for debate, not now, not ever. I want a proper nextgen update of it though

The clean out - on and off the field - continues and there will be more to come.

Clarko 'cleaning house' was always going to happen and is a sign that he is now back to fully functional in a football sense.

With 3 good kids coming in this year - and likewise next year most likely - this will bring us up to 10-12 high end talent types at 25 years and under.

That's the sort of metric when playing lists - who are coached and developed well - start to rapidly rise up the ladder.

Getting in top rated assistant and player development coaches will be just as important as the draft picks we have.

Clarko has alot on his plate to get us out of the hole we are in but is making big strides now.

Gibson is gone too, per Caroline Wilson.

Makes sense with Logue out for so long. His main focus was on developing Logues game sense and play. If he's not able to train, its a nothing role.

For me, it's Age of Empires II.

Altermatively, plenty of people can work together.but also not have a close personal relationship (or even one at all)

That and Diablo 2. So many hours of my teenage years wasted away…

There seemed to be a bit of a difference in vision between Ratten and Viney/Brady in the members questionnaire.

Ratten seemed to be more conservative, while the others seemed to like Comben going back and playing small up forward. I believe they referenced the Tigers and suggested Brayden George could play like a 2nd key forward.

Used to LAN both with my mates, best time of my life.

Command & Conquer

No mention of Goldeneye?

Yep, I love strategy games. You played Mount and Blade 2? One of the best games to come out for years imo.

 

[Wristo_]

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

Who doesn’t like a self-wristy, especially if it’s public and online…

I have not! I've played a little bit of Total War recently but that's about it.

Age of Empires III DE is a cracker.
