Bluemour Melting Pot XXIX

[Mr_Plow]

Except Millburn. Couldn't cop them both at the same time

Whatever the cost, we must be better. Milburn it is!

Also on Clarkson (again), I know the AFL have no banned the practice, but does anyone else have an issue with Clarko and his brutal boxing training practices putting one of his young players out for a while with concussion ?.

Maybe not an real problem now that the AFL have banned it, but I still think it's worth discussing in the debate of the pros and cons of hiring Clarko.

They can beat the shit out of each other by doing MMA for all I care…as long as it brings us a flag I don’t care!

Johnny 5?

I don't get it.

I believe the catch phrase was “Number 5 is alive”. My guess is Whomever no.5 is (Judd, Buckley, Teague was born 5/5/80), is alive in relation to the coaching race, or in Judd’s case, still alive on the board.

Angry little sh*t? has to be clarkson

Yep has to be Clarkson, looks like Ian Aitken’s reconstructed face from 87.....

So **** all to do with Steve Darui.......

Or Cerra (No. 5). Or premiership number 5 Clarkson.

Not a big fan but given it is now outlawed it is not in the discussion.

Club has not offered LOB a new contract (according to The Age)

Reckon he is on the way out even if Clarkson comes on board as coach (club is probably just playing him to increase his possible trade value imo)

If a new coach comes in, players once favoured may no longer be favoured, whereas those not favoured may become favoured and become much better players.

Depends heavily on game plan.

With Clarko, he loves left footers that kick well. The Hawks destiny was built on pin point ‘keepings off’ kicking. LoB falls perfectly in that bracket.

Worpel wears 5 at Hawthorn.

I get pissed and need to win the internet, ferrisb thinks pun first and...well, that's it really, KohPhi communicates primarily in GIFs, Thy fluctuates wildly between wokest dude ever and Abe Simpson, gbatman channels Tolstoy, at least in terms of volume. What a rich turnip soup we are.

I hate turnips...

I hate turnips...

Everybody does. They're a dud root

 

[BlueTongue]

I'll be honest and say I was taking a bit of the urine with calling Derm a respected commentator.

His special comments in the SA Showdown was eccentric to say the least (talking about making documentaries on how to tackle lol)

Think he probably had one too many Shandies during the day

Every afternoon on SEN he sound half cut

I forget who on the radio said this, but I think it’s a valid point (yes, I was shocked too) - Clarkson was most effective when he had a strong cast of characters around him, eg Dunstall, Pelchen early on, then Wright, Fagan etc, never mind all the assistant coaches. Point being that some of the more questionable list decisions over recent years may be the result of there being a lack of challenging opinions in the footy dept.

I took it as a good pointer that if Clarkson does come over, I hope the review and subsequent outcomes ensure there’s appropriate respect and authority for other senior footy dept roles, via a footy boss who isn’t overawed by him. Because I’m pretty sure the board will be.

Great post

Clarko could just play the Milburn KOs SOS video every pregame session and the let the boys savage him as a warmup

 

[Red Bull]

As far as I'm concerned, Clarkson can bring whomever the fu** he wants. Literally anyone.

 

[[ToTTi]]

The plaster walls at Ikon Park are getting nervous all of a sudden.

Would be interested to know if it was someone with either knowledge of this situation or someone previously connected with him or the club.

Wasn’t Jordan Lewis by any chance was it ?

Age reporting board meeting this Thurs where board will see the review and make a call on the coach

Won't be made public immediately

Reading between the lines it seems MLG doesn't want to personally sack a third coach

Hence they'll postpone making it public

Well he could just send a text, it's pretty common these days. But he needs to understand that people are pretty judgemental so even if nobody says anything to him about it, it happened.

 

[slashin_velvet]

You couldn't have non-compete in an industry as small as AFL. Surely not.

Of course you can. Not a holdback after the contract ends, but certainly while the contract is active.

In this case, Hawthorn would have no reason to keep paying Clarkson if he breaches his contract with them and starts coaching another club, unless they come to a mutual agreement.

 

[1981]

Reflects terribly on MLG that he would have sacked 3 coaches. He simply hasn't been successful at finding the right coach. It all comes back to the board.

Could do with some of his mongrel in the side right now.

Will reflect even more poorly if he sits on his hands right now and does nothing.
