Geez I tell you what, this Sunday’s game against the swans with the ‘96 premiership players in attendance would be an ideal occasion to make an announcement. A very big announcement, just sayin 😉

Robert Scott won't be there as he has never forgiven us for dropping him for the 99 Premiership.


I know all the useless info.

Oh well.

Sammy Edmund on SEN just now saying North people are “very very confident”

Yes, it is interesting that even weeks ago before Noble was sacked when Clarkson's future was being discussed Sam Edmund was alwasys saying North was a distinct possibility for him, whereas others like Dwayne Russell completely ruled us out. He clearly got wind of us being interested quite some time ago.

My theory is that the current delay is either due to contractual issues being ironed out, or simply us trying to put sufficient space between Noble's sacking and Clarko announcement, not to make it appear like we've been in talks way before it became official that Noble is gone. I am pretty sure that those discussions were taking place though, and now we are just trying to find the right balance between a slightly bad look and delaying it too much that it may leak into the media.

He’s the one who had luff leaking to him right?
And then someone still leaking to him about blakey

He knows someone at north

Some leaks could actually be premediated. From PR perspective, we don't want to just announce it out of the blue, when everyone thinks we haven't even met with Clarko yet, when in fact it's been coming for a while. So some controlled leaks would show the media that some talks are happening

Who would be on this panel that would not say get Clarko?
Pointless exercise IMO.

Exactly right. But if we were not confident of landing Clarko, then we would have put the panel together long ago, and would have had a list of perspective coaches lined up, and would have already interviewed some of them. The fact that none of this is happening tells you all you need to know.

Here’s me putting two and two together to make 69.

In the week or two prior to the Collingwood game we had strong mail from Clarko’s camp that he wanted to coach North but needed to Noble out of the picture before it could happen.

Noble then sacked after one of our best games of the season.

Decks have been cleared, an in principle agreement has been reached and negotiations are now happening to iron out all the details.

Would be sensational if the announcement was in the hours prior to Sonja appearing on Footy Classified.
