Bloody hell, I go food shopping and make dinner and come back to discussions on gender dysmorphia.
What's the matter with you people?

Topic, stay on it please.

What was your dinner?

Is the rumour true that Clarkson kicked a dog. Mate of mine said that half time spray there was a small dog in the club rooms and Clarko got mad and kicked it.
Was Ziebells dog supposely Clarko told him a few times to get that f**king dog out of here and both were arguing that security had to be involved.

Then Clarko threw a chair at the wall in frustration.

Unlikely that Jack Ziebell took his dog to Hobart.

Now at least we have reasoning behind citing his mental health re: the investigation.

This is not good though. North have a lot of good young talent on their list - would you really want to be coming to work knowing this is your workplace?

Going to be very hard to return and have the faith of his players, after reacting so emotionally and quite frankly, unhinged.

So disappointing to hear in this day and age that this still happens. All the best to Ratten I guess.

That’s fairly common, to know hear what you’ve been accused of, discovery and all.

In a court of law yes. Not an enquiry or internal questioning . Sounds like they may have something to hide.

3rd time the charm for Ratten?

Unlikely that Jack Ziebell took his dog to Hobart.

He bought it while in Hobart as a gift to his partner. It was meant to be romantic and spontaneous but Clarko ruined that now.

 

[Ice-Wolf]

romantic and spontaneous gift.

A dog should not be a romantic and spontaneous gift.

 

[Free Agent]

A dog should not be a romantic and spontaneous gift.

That's what Clarko said before he kicked it

I'm actually surprised that as the thing you disagree about lol.

The Clarko kicking dog part you didn't mention

I'm sorry Wosh its all I could think of.

Yeah sorry, 'you people' isn't very nice.
I'll change it to 'the people who are discussing gender dysmorphia and 'wokeness'

The rest of you are peachy

Home made chicken soup and I just polished off a vanailla slice
Back to work!

NMFC Club statement says Alastair is taking time to focus on his physical and mental health, and specifically says the toll of the Hawthorn Racism investigation is the reason.

To be honest this would be a legit reason.

Only other reason why he would do this if a close family member is either sick or recently passed away.

I need a good chicken soup recipe
Mine tastes like flavoured water

I think everyone gets that threads like this are really difficult to keep on track, we want people to have their genuine opinions heard so it really helps if everyone tries at least to stay on topic, we have SRP and Bay 13 for politics and some fun trolling.

Lemme eat my vanilla slice dammit!

WTF? I knew about the chair but surely not poor fluffy?

Hamish needs to tell him to stay in his lane.

Imagine Clarkson had chosen to coach Essendon. The media and the court of public opinion would have completely buried us by now.

Such a golden opportunity missed!

 

[Wosh]

Anyway I heard on the way home on SEN that Clarko has been very erratic, unsettled, only sleeping 1 or 2 hours a night and everyone could see he had major issues. So no matter what side of the fence you're on no one can coach like that, he did the right thing by pulling the pin and hopefully North can adjust and move on. Sometimes stuff like this can galvanise a club and I'll be tipping them this week.

I feel sorry for the supporters, I really do.
They should all have chicken soup

Not sure why this saga has dragged on so long.
