No Oppo Supporters General AFL and other clubs discussion thread. **Opposition fans not welcome** Part 7

[Big Hotdog]

I have been a mate's personal reference for a lot of his security clearance upgrades. Defence sure like to know about their people's sexual proclivities!

The questions that they ask reveal how much they know. I was astounded at some of the questions I had to answer for a mates next security clearance. He was very squeamish when I hit him with some of the questions?

 

[TylerDurden]

Why wouldn't Hawthorn vs Bulldogs be in the North vs Suns timeslot?

They want suspense on the Sunday as to who will make it, between Dogs and Saints.

already a Marvel game on Sunday

[Brishawk]

Are we sure punter isn’t trying to get a Tassie team up?

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

What's he going to do, beg?

 

[I got the outside word]

What's he going to do, beg?

Probably more likely to play a straight bat..

FFS, the AFL media BS artists, as per usual, grossly exaggerating Ponting's comments on radio this morning.

Mitch Cleary's claim: "This week Ponting WILL sit down with Alastair Clarkson to gauge his interest…"
Ricky Ponting, quote: "HOPEFULLY I can sit down with him…"

I suspect it will be dead rubber myself. Thinking of making my first York park trip

 

[Kuuz]

How I imagine the talks went

 

[Denver Day Lewis]

LOL.

And in breaking news from the Herald-Sun pictorial, it is believed Michael Clarke is making noises about meeting with James Hird to strongly encourage him to apply for the AFL supremo job, to become the next PM, and the next Pope, and to force him to attend James Packer's next Sydney Harbour boat party extravaganza.

 

[Pessimistic]

Surely Clarko makes a better PM?

 

[B&GBlood]

Surely Clarko makes a better PM?

Nah. I like long sleeves

 

[deanc]

How I imagine the talks went

Look forward to the follow-up of this 'exclusive' from the media boof-heads - which is likely to be a brief phone call at best.

Ponting: "Hi mate, it's Punter!
Clarkson: Sorry, who?
Ponting: Ah, it's Ricky Ponting...
Clarkson: Oh, hello mate, what can I do for you?
Ponting: Well, I was hoping we could sit down for a coffee and have a chat about your interest in coaching the Roos.
Clarkson: Gee, I wasn't aware you had an official role at the club..?
Ponting: I haven't, but as the No.1 ticket holder I do have some insights that I'd like to share with you.
Clarkson: Oh, well appreciate the invitation mate, but no thanks, was there anything else?
Ponting: Ummm, not really...
Clarkson: OK mate, catch ya later, bye...

The nonsense/BS headline thereafter to be; 'Clarkson shuns Ponting approach, cancels meeting!'....

 

[CHUBBSS]

Left field choice but the perfect person to be assistant to Clarko if he comes back would be Luke Hodge - if north could pull that off would be the best thing they have done in a while. + get hodge back to Melbourne…

 

[Pessimistic]

Interestingly, since 2001, there have been five (out of 20) no. 1 picks that have played in at least 1 grand final with only 1 of them tasting success.

So not as successful as recruiting someone from the Rioli family?

 

[Pessimistic]

The Glass House ain't in South Yarra.

Even Tom Mitchell could hit it with a drop punt from there though

 

[Pessimistic]

Gee Barrett’s article packs a lot in a chance 10 minute meeting with clarkos manager.

Barret wouldn’t be projecting would he


Also the comment ‘Clarko burns through admin staff’ using Robson and Audrey as examples

Othe people had issues there too

Plenty have left the hawks under clarkos time but it’s totally the opposite, theyve been in high demand due to being at a centre of excellence, would have been nice to retain them really including most of the premiership coaches since 2015

Maybe burning through some admin staff is exactly what North need.....

No he couldn't.

Hopefully Clarko takes the job, burns through all the admin and executive staff, and then approves the relocation to Tassie.

Except they’ve recently sold their Melbourne home and hodge has said on numerous occasions that the family, especially Lauren, love living in Brisbane

 

[SSSSSS]

Get Ramsden on the Mosquito diet. He's at about 0.36 Darren Jarman's at the moment.

You can always rent houses. If Hodge wants to go into coaching at some point his employment horizons will be far more ample down here than up there.

I presume he was resting on that metal pole behind him prior to this play?
