Certified Legendary Thread Alastair Clarksons.

[Horizons_00]

It feels like the stars are aligning

I wonder if Cam and others is waiting for this, to sign a extension

 

[KickItAnywhere34]

why'd Ponting meet with clarko last week?

That’s been part of the ongoing discussions.

 

[Massive Unit]

Surely he'd go to watch his son?

I've been reliably informed that Robert Scott, Adam Simpson and Peter Bell will be the three absentees.

 

[joegreen]

A new coach presser would not be in the normal presser schedule.

It would deserve it's own fanfare.

Something like this... out walks Clarko.... And turn up the volume!!



Or this



Or the classic sports theme

 

[Makeshift Park]

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

Except fortunately no one watches that show.
You'd have to think someone will spend the afternoon backgrounding Tom Browne and Jon Ralph separately so they both think they have exclusives and we can get a good news story splashed across the 7 news banners and the hun for maximum eyeballs and to make the sponsors happy.

Weird considering Scott's son plays at the club

Exactly.

Then an appearance for an interview on AFL 360 early evening.

Jabba, Caro and The Eunuch left with scraps...

I would love us to say nothing.
Just have him appear in the coaches box this weekend.
Watch the media go nuts.
We don't owe any of them the story.

 

[Sillygit]

All you lot making sense with all these timelines and whatnot is doing wonders for my nervous breakdown.

 

[Ry009]

Imagine if this goes on for another week at a minimum......

 

[King Corey]

Yes but not hang around the reunion I'd suggest.

Note sure on that one TAO almost certain I've seen photos of him at the reunions.

 

[DunderHead]

If they want to maximise attention, which I think marketing would want for sponsorship reasons at this time of year, then they won’t announce it this week.

If they’re already talking the 96 premiership and have that talking point for Sundays game then they will focus on that in the media and pre-game.

Next week roll out the new coach continue to get media attention.

 

[GoNorth]

Correct - the timeline I believe happened was North wanted to see if Clarkson was interested PRIOR to the Geelong game. As it turns out his manager has confirmed he made contact with North AFTER the Geelong game. The only reason Noble wasn’t sacked then was because North wanted to know if Clarkson was interested in the job. I believe the yes answer didnt come until the day before the Collingwood game so by then Noble was a dead man walking and then was sacked the next week. North have played this well by not putting out details of the panel and keeping discussions in house. Given the football director , president and at least 2 past players have been talking to Clarkson that indeed does tell you all you need to know. Again as I’ve stated today was a date mentioned but it could be anytime up to Friday. I’m not sure we will get much today. But I’m happy to be wrong.

Just wondering when Clarko saying, 'Would you coach North? Yeah, Yeah!' fits into this time frame?

Brilliant!

I was thinking something a little more low-key, like this:

 

[buttox]

Just have him appear in the coaches box this weekend.

We don't owe any of them the story.

Better yet.
Put it on the banner.
Have him run out with the boys.

 

[The acurate one]

Yes just what I heard the other day, really don't mean anything of course.

 

[The Dingrel]

Had the pleasure of chatting to Robert Scott at a season launch a few years back, lovely bloke, a lot of former players there that night from both the 96 and 99 Premiership teams, he didn't seem to have any issues socialising with them.

dual premiership coach Denis Pagan will be on hand to present life memberships to Stuart Anderson, Matthew Capuano, Glenn Freeborn, Mark Roberts, Robert Scott and Peter Bell...... sounds like 25 years (+1) is too long to hold a grudge!

 

[Harris 10]

That's how I'd release the news if it's happening, send that clip from 360 on our socials.

I don't hold a grudge. For me, a grudge is just a place to pork my cor.

To make it look that we are running some sort of process with him, otherwise it appears that Noble is gone, Clarko was overseas, comes back and signs within a fortnight, hardly having a chance to meet with the club

 

[Wels Eicke]

I still hold a grudge against Geelong for everything that happened in the 94 Prelim......aint ever letting go of that.

Bell and Simpson makes sense. Robert Scott on the other hand? Geez, not a great look, unless it's due to Bailey not getting an extension he was after?

I believe it's illness related
