News Clarko in strife again

[Chief]

AFL Statement

The AFL this week made inquiries into an incident involving North Melbourne Senior Coach Alastair Clarkson during Saturday afternoon’s match in Hobart.

The AFL was made aware of the alleged comments by a match day official post-game who heard the comments, with the AFLIU following up the report.

Clarkson has admitted to loudly swearing and using inappropriate language while standing near the umpires and officials’ bench in response to an umpiring decision during the third quarter.

After talking to match officials, the AFL was not able to be comfortably satisfied that Clarkson’s swearing was directed towards a specific person or persons and in particular an AFL match official or officials and as such no finding of a breach of AFL Rules has been made.

Fortunate to get off

Should probably be sacked at this point.

 

[Adz2332]

To be fair to him I'd be trying everything I could to get out of coaching north

 

[random260]

The angry short man is unhinged. He's bringing this entire game in disrepute.

Enough is enough from North Melbourne. Afl needs to force north to have a care taker coach for the rest of the year.

Hi Suzi! Shouldn't you be following your cousin Brad at Essendon now?

Is Clarko really the man North want nurturing their young list? Anger flaring up, racism allegations, verbal abuse and alleged slurs.

But at the same time they can’t move on to another coach, it would be one of the biggest shambles of all time

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

At what point does the AFL seriously question his ability to guide and develop young men?

It is time for Sonja and co to stand up and lead properly. North Melbourne just keep overlooking terrible behaviour and supporting terrible people.

Sensing a strong correlation here

 

[Billy_01]

Just don’t think Clarko is up to coaching the modern game tbh

 

[FrustratedTiger]

What a crock of shite. If they suspend Clarko for this, I hope they're consistent.

Is that Clarko's account?

 

[tiger_tough]

Lol.

 

[Mute Point]

Should probably be sacked at this point.

Do you know the facts of what exactly happened?

Aren't 3 of those things different ways of describing the current gossip? And those claiming racism have a habit of not being keen to have their claims tested.

 

[Sully111]

Any coach who isn't using abusive language regarding the state of umpiring should probably be suspended

Truth to this in some way actually

They should direct that anger towards their small man syndrome coach

 

[thefrog]

The racism allegations are historical
The slur is referring to the Webster incident
The verbal abuse is referring to current events

That’s 3 seperate events

I’ve not at all said these are all undeniable truths but I believe where there’s smoke there’s fire.

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

Any coach dumb enough to swear at umpires or even hurl abuse around them in response to a decision is an idiot.

17 other coaches do it pretty well. Clarko is a hothead with history.

 

[Xtreme]

Umpires need to harden up. Officiate the game correctly and they won't get abused.

Take it to the bank
Game, set and match

Angry flog continues being angry flog in the AFL due to zero consequence for previous angry flog behaviour.

Shock.

We've suffered enough

Shock.

Didn’t even have to do his 2 hour lip service/PR friendly education program.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

I thought Clarko said he was going to work on his anger issues... lol.

If 18 coaches think their team is being unfairly hurt by umpiring decisions, could it be that 18 coaches are inherently bias & seeing things the way they want to see it?
