Opinion Non-Crows AFL 7

[Mutineer]

Is he stepping away because of the investigation and he's about to give his testimony or because there's solid evidence and the writings on the wall or purely because North is utter s**t and he's stressed because of the pressure to win and see improvement from North?

You don't think the stress on his own health and wellness is the contributing reason?

It's 8 months isn't it since his accusers claims became public....still unproven and it seems no closer to being backed up with any real evidence that they in fact took place..at least not in the public domain that I'm aware of?

Aren't you dismissing the toll this has to be having on Clarko's family and friends as well as the man himself with no resolution in sight?

 

[GreyCrow]

Clarko also stepped away at Hawthorn with a back related complaint if I recall

Well one thing is for sure, North are now heavy favorites for this years spoon AND Harley Reid.

This also opens up another intriguing possibility assuming West Coast are just ahead of them at 2nd bottom which certainly is not out of the question. Our noisy neighbours down the road might be in a real awkward spot here as North could go hard after Bergman and get him for essentially nothing as they would have PSD pick 1. Likewise WCE could do the same for Georgiades and if they have PSD pick 2, its game over for port - they will get peanuts back for 2 guys I have no doubt they would have been hoping got them good draft collateral...couple this with the fact they don't have their F1 this year and it will mean its the FA market or nothing of real value for them at seasons end

Why would Bergman voluntarily go to North right now?

Why would Bergman voluntarily go to North right now?

if he wants back to Victoria and North were offering a huge contract which they may be able to do...maybe money talks

Indeed Bolton became caretaker coach..

Most people with Guillain-Barré syndrome experienced some form of viral or bacterial infection before the onset of symptoms.

What a time to do track work on the Ballarat line!

Looks like you may be out of luck. All the V/Line services indicate you'll need to train it to Bacchus Marsh then bustitute to Ballarat from there.

If you were looking at hire car, you could look at dropping off at the airport, but then you're in for a steep fare on the SkyBus. Otherwise, could you return the hire car the following morning?

Hire cars are paid for in 24 hour blocks so may not even cost any extra

Round 24 against West coast could see them tank their percentage to land below North as well..... We could have a big win that boosts us as well

Hopefully we can do WC a favour ... win-win.

They could well have a stack of retirements and we saw how they got themselves up and about against us last year.

Agree that there will be some fearful bearings for the bottom sides late in the year. GWS and Sydney could well throw the towel in and aim for a top four pick also.

Kurt Tippett has joined Gold Coast's board.

And we think our board is under-qualified....
At least he's finally gotten home

Edit: beaten to it by multiple people

Probably pay to park the car at the Stocklands shopping centre a couple of km's up the road and get a taxi to Mars Stadium unless you fancy a long walk on game day, parking ain't great.

I think they still run shuttle buses from several sites in the city as well on game days both pre and post game?

If ever a more useless individual. The AFL should veto this. GC are in trouble and putting just any AFL player on a board serves no purpose. KT also is the epitome of a terrible bloke.

He's seen the review?

I think they know alot more than they let on.

 

[Bearded Clam]

Caroline Wilson would be extremely happy right now

Maybe..

But I’m not sure I actually beleive that anything could make that sour old hag happy..

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Is that their second coach in 4 or 5 years to step away to look after themselves?

Isn't it 3 now.

Also Shaw & Laidley.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Is the timing (Indigenous round) a deliberate slap in the face of the AFL?

You are assuming it was really his choice...

Caro on FiveAA right now using her solemn contrite tone

 

[FR0GGY]

He threw a chair at a wall on the weekend. Surely not his decision alone.

Overseeing player contracts....

 

[adelaidecrows]

Besides the AFL being the most amateur professional sporting league in the world, the media still need to be careful of making Clarkson a victim. I don't think it looks good for Clarkson to be honest and many said at the time Clarkson should never have taken the coaching job in the circumstances.

I can't listen to her any more.

Would think it would be more than North's performances that led to this...
