, is selfish and cost them the Adelaide match. The footage shown Cameron looks marked when Joe has it outside 50 but he is normally ok long range but less ok nailing a perfectly well weighted pass and has a second to decide. Moreover with the kick I think Joe may well have been trying to pass anyhow!

caro warning, but this is both disappointing but ultimately extremely unsurprising

 

[Ati Tude]

So nice for this type of stuff not to involve us (at least for the moment)

If you’re the AFL, don’t worry about giving north Melbourne draft picks, help them do whatever it takes to re-sign LDU and Zurhaar. If you think North are bad now, imagine losing them both. Maybe AFL chips in with $$ on their next contract or something, they defs don’t need more kids

I didn’t know LDU & Zurhaar wanted to move to Darwin

 

[raskolnikov]

Remember when North fans were gloating that Clarkson chose them instead of us?

Now they have a thread on their board calling for his sacking.

We dodged a massive bullet.

Norf should’ve gone with an off brand ‘Adem Yze’ type to come in and develop the list. Then bring in the gun coach after they inevitably sack them to build on the development. Would have saved a shitload of cash compared to what they’ll have to pay out Clarkson.

Brad Scott clearly must’ve seen norf for what they were and bailed.

No coach will get as much time and leeway as Clarkson.

Their previous list decisions meant that no matter who got the job they were going to be horrible, at least in Clarkson's case he'll get a few years instead of sacrificing (another) first time coach. Shaw and Noble never had a chance with the state of that list.

Shaw and Noble were terrible coaches regardless of the state of the list

I think Ratten was doing ok last year when he was at the helm.

I think it's much more entertaining if Clarkson is at the helm while they're utter shit personally.

If they’re going like this towards the end of next season I can see him getting the boot. A rookie would get the sack about halfway through season two with these results. He gets an extra 1.5 seasons above a rookie (IMO).

I reckon Clarkson wouldn't have that payout clause the AFL mandated, he / his manager would have said no, and North / AFL would have agreed since they were so desperate to get him in the door. Will cost North a bucketload to pay him out early.

 

[Ati Tude]

Too embarrassing for them to get rid of him this year. If they are this dire at mid next year, he could be in trouble.

Alternatively, the AFL force norf to keep him in so they don’t have to make the ridiculous payout. I’m sure I’ve heard that before with clubs the AFL prop up.

"Clarko, as punishment for being a racist and a homophobe, you have to see out the last 3 years of your contract with North and be remembered as a multiple wooden spoon winning coach."

edit:

Fun fact

Pre-North Clarkson
228 Wins - 4 Draws - 158 Losses (390) = 58% W:L

North Clarkson
3 Wins - 0 Draws - 19 Losses (22) = 13%

Total

231 - 4 - 177 (412) = 56% W:L

Another 3 seasons in charge means he could well be down to the 50% W:L mark with a few spoons in his pocket.

 

[doug85]

Clarko also hasn’t commenced the training related to the homophobic abuse.

Good to see a leader of the AFL taking the issue seriously

He's too busy culture building at norf.

Add it to the racist eugenic allegations, the comment he made to a female reporter during the Tarryn Thomas saga, and his repeated violent acts, and the guy's just a piece of shit.

 

[Mercurial89]

No symptoms but they retired him?

 

[Drummer_19]

Saying someone has been medically retired just sounds so weird, like they're an animal being put down or something.

 

[bombadeer]

Under these circumstances, is the retirement involuntary? Or is the player informed that they should retire and they do so?

I was actually wondering if the reason they're so dogshit is they've spent so much of the footy dept soft cap on Clarko that there wasn't enough left over for decent line coaches and support staff
