Lol proof even he thinks norf are pointless. Hes just collecting a cheque as some sort of nurse while north is in palliative care.

3 years development while Tasmania gets its crap together.

 

[gbear]

Lol might be the straw. Man cant control himself.

Should be suspended for the remainder of the season for being a campaigner.

 

[edgie]

What is the context of those examples?

 

[MrMeaner]

So, the Age is reporting* that umpires are being coached during games. This seems a bit of an issue.

*paywalled, so not linking.

I read the article. It’s been happening for years.

The coaching isn’t about making calls, it’s about positioning and handing over control.

The article is a storm in a tea cup. Some not-named coach was having a whinge.

Nick Daicos has a habit of commenting on other club’s players. Wasn’t he openly courting Bailey Smith?

 

[Doctor Feel]

The dad/grandpa lmao

 

[simba_]

did daicos forget to sign in to his alt account or is the AFL this amateur

[P.S. I Know The Answer]

 

[Grave Danger]

Might be time for RTB to sashay off into the sunset if this comes to pass...

 

[Alberton Proud]

Openings at the Saints and Norf coming soon ?

Looking for an experienced Senior Coach ?

Have I got a deal for you !

 

[Peninsula Boy]

Well that cleared that up, didn't it.

Are people actually silly enough to think that this is actually Nick Daicos's twitter account?

And not someone who is just using the name that changed their account name, after promising to do whatever the top response says if Port came back against Hawthorn.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

I know this is crap, but still, Jason Horne-Francis anyone?

 

[Buget]

Boooooo

I thought the same too.

Zac Guthrie hahahahahah

I reckon I could make an AA side if I put on a Geelong guernsey and walked around AFL House long enough that people started noticing me.

UPDATE: Clarkson avoids punishment after ump abuse investigation

North Melbourne coach Alastair Clarkson has been investigated by the AFL after allegedly verbally abusing the umpires' bench during round 11

www.afl.com.au

Clarkson admitted during the AFL Integrity Unit's investigation that he had sworn loudly and used inappropriate language in response to an umpiring decision during the third quarter while standing near the umpires' and officials' bench.


However after talking to match officials, the AFL was not satisfied Clarkson's outburst was directed towards a specific person or match official, and therefore found no breach of AFL rules.

And the AFL’s carpet gets a little bumpier.

Surprise surprise

 

[Izzy01]

Just heard during half time that Clarkson will coach from the box for the rest of the year so he won’t get caught up in any other incidents.
Has that bloke got no control of himself.

 

[gbear]

There is a special place in hell for Clarkson.

 

[Rash]
