Clarkson perhaps should start considering making the news in a positive way for once by getting the team to improve and perhaps snatch a win. Sick and tired of him and our club being on the news mainly thanks to him for all the wrong reasons. "Lets get angry with yourself a bit more and some of our experienced useless list clogger passengers first hey Calrko ?!"

Same poster, same old lines. You really need to get some new ones.

You sound like kid shopping with his mom, squealing and crying cos you won’t get what you want.

Yawn……

No, though always found it surprising the Seppos allowed it with all their pomp and jingoism.
But in a forum about an Australian game, dominated by middle-aged Australian men, it is utterly predictable there will be some tsktsking at Americanisms.

It’s a fair call. How about showing some anger/frustration towards the putrid effort/skills on display each week Clarko? This acceptance of sub-par effort means everyone is comfortable. And when you’re comfortable, you don’t improve.

Plot twist, RossHenshaw is Damo
 
Why is everyone getting so personal with Rossco. It’s his thread. Don’t come in here if you don’t like what he has to say. For the record we are not sacking clarko but 0/11 and trending down. 2 x instances of poor language in public. Clarko’s only saving grace is he won 4 flags 10 years ago otherwise this thread would be on part 3 by now.

Believe it or not we have improved our skills. In the first five games nearly every one was 70+ turnovers, in the last 5 its around 60 or under (except against the Gold Coast in Darwin where both side had 80+ and the conditions were appalling.)
 
"...directed poorly chosen words at or within earshot of people who didn't deserve them."

Damo is a turnip isn't he.

It's not his thread - it's a thread on a public forum.

If he posts shit publicly he should expect to be called out for it.

Yeah fair enough. I mean I think it’s kind obvious Ross isn’t really posting with a a normal perspective but I suppose nothing saying posters can’t challenge him.
 
Clarko gets openly angry at opposition snipers. Clarko gets openly angry at crap umpiring.

Clarko does not get openly angry at NMFC players not being able to hit the simplest of targets. Clarko does not get openly angry at NMFC players with conditional efforts. Clarko does not get openly angry with NMFC players who drop their heads as soon as the opposition get on a bit of a roll. Clarko does not get openly angry at senior players who make the same fundamental mistakes every single week.

Anger is not a negative emotion. If targeted in the right places, and presented as assertiveness instead of aggression, it can clearly signal standards and behaviours you either accept or don't accept and lead to a positive outcome.

Clarko's anger is not being targeted in the right places, and it's being presented as aggression. Therefore it's useless. Whilst there's no way he should have copped a sanction this time, it was stupid and served no purpose in making us a better team. He needs to be better.

How do you know that his anger/frustration is not targeted towards players behind closed doors?

I can’t imagine Clarko giving too many free passes.
