Clarkson take your place among the great coaches of this club in Allan Jeans and John Kennedy Senior

Discussing dodgy trade targets under Clarkson when we’ve heard some strange ones in the last few weeks

Boo ******* hoo? Yeah, I like being successful and playing finals. Weird, I know. Clarko’s success can’t be used as a continual shield for his failures when essentially running our footy department when our list and gameplan turned into a disaster that he refused to correct from.

If I went and deliberately drove my car into the Yarra right now, do you think my wife is going to forgive me if I say ‘look I have successfully not driven my car into a lake for 25 years until today so you can’t be angry at me’.

Nuance is a great thing - I can be grateful for the 4 flags and still be disappointed at the absolute shitshow Clarko created from 2017 onwards that’s necessitated a rebuild that will see us likely go the better part of a decade without playing finals.

Give up, mate

Clarkson is one of the all time great coaches

Whatever Clarko is accused of post 2016. The entire club is documented as being as one with that. The ‘five year plan’

Hard to criticize your synopsis of Clarko's 2017 and on era.

But it's tough to get behind the idea that not driving your car into the Yarra is somehow analogous to winning 4 Premiership's.

Clarko was great before he went peak dictator. We all wish it had all ended better. Was hard to dislike him much when we were winning.

We should all just celebrate the fact that he's at North though, and much more likely to drive into the Yarra now.
