News Clarkson to step away from football indefinitely

‘Heavy toll’: Roos blindsided by Clarkson decision to step away

North Melbourne are unsure how long Alastair Clarkson will need away from the game, but the club’s football boss Todd Viney, a friend of the master coach, is confident he will not be lost to the sport.

Welcome to cancel culture Clarko. What a joke. Poor bugger.

Amazing that actions have consequences isn't it.

Amazing that actions have consequences isn't it.

I know the story/people involved. Cultural insensitivity maybe. Racism no way. The whole investigation is a shambles. It should have taken a month.

So you can’t list them or prove it …shocked I tell you

Use your imagination or that little magnifying glass in the top corner

I can't see why the stolen generation happened either but it did.

yeah well I wasnt alive back then so I cant comment. But i'm English born so I guess I should take some responsibility. (I just watch 10 pound pom!)

so many things I dont understand, the holocaust for a start, the Burma railway, History seems to be rotten to the core.


I have no idea what happened, I dont think many do, probably only those that were actually there. i'd be interested to know who is meant to be at the reconciliation, what the terms are, I guess im also jaded by the whole Buckley/Lumbada thing, Do Better, Boooooooo

I just feel Clarkson in particular has been found guilty by media. And I don't think that's fair.

both the do better review and the hawks internal review were meant to be a catalyst to do better going forward, surely a good thing to do, but both have turned into slinging matches. Will any other club be silly enough to go there? and thats a sad thing.

Obviously something is known... If it quacks like a duck....

If it quacks like a duck it could be an Ibis.

Thus proving that saying is flawed.

They should be called Bin Ducks, not Bin Chickens.

 

[MagpieJo]

They would win easily on a truth defence. Clarkson is finished and unemployable now and he's lucky he's not facing criminal charges.

so you have already found him guilty?

proves my point, thanks

Why would I use my imagination to come up with the 18 list demands? When the facts have been requested and hasn’t been presented

 

[MagpieJo]

Happy to educate you on the Stolen Generation if you want.

all good thanks

 

[MagpieJo]

What a disgraceful take you have on this.

because i want proof that someone would do such an awful thing? ok

 

[Blue1980]

i don't think so. ive heard lots of rumours about what supposedly happened, but i havent heard the opposing story anywhere, except "never happened" and im guessing thats what he has been told to say.

But none of this is part of the official process that is happening, unless you believe people talking about it online is the investigation itself.

If he wasn't give a fair trial he'd have been banned from football before an investigation even took place. That clearly isn't happening. You can't stop people from talking about it.

With Clarko and not saying anything, I would assume that his lawyers have advised him of this as you have suggested. That would probably be doing his head in that the process is taking so long, as he would like to explain his side of the story and get on with things.

Now whether his side of the story exhonerates him, well time will tell. Personally, I don't think it will, but I do think it will put more context to things. But where it lands in terms of punishment bans and who is guilty or not guilty, I have no idea, none of us do.

The roos cannot catch a break. They have number a 1 pick that goes back home after one season. Appoint a 4 time premiership coach with ties to the club who then gets embroiled in the hawks saga. My guess it is 50/50 if he coaches again and whatever the outcome of the saga he will be continued to be haunted by it and if he coaches again and will never be the coach the roos were hoping he would be.

The ultimate plot twist would be that he does return to coaching ... at Port Adelaide

brilliant post, i could not agree more

Hahahahaha,
We’d probably end up with Hinkley

 

[Aristotle Pickett the3rd]

so you have already found him guilty?

proves my point, thanks

You don't care if he's guilty

 

[Aristotle Pickett the3rd]

Yeah 11 Indigenous people lied and all the txts and emails were faked. Great work sleuth.

 

[South of the Yarra]

all good thanks

See you say you don't understand, and someone is willing to give you some quality education and you knock back the chance. That is why we never learn and we keep finding ourselves in similar situations with lack of knowledge about Aboriginal people.

 

[MagpieJo]

You don't care if he's guilty

i do.

ive already said if hes guilty he should never be allowed near an AFL oval again.

what i care about is due process.

you dont care if he's not guilty. same game

This is a fair post, the only issue I see is it’s been reported multiple times that they all entered into confidentially agreement before mediation.
Which would’ve been an afl directive so this didn’t play out in the public eye.

I believe both parties, families and coaches have adhered to this.

i have not seen the texts or emails have you? please share

 

[Aristotle Pickett the3rd]

Is 6 months not enough due process?

 

[South of the Yarra]

Do you? Please fill me in on them. I am intrigued.

 

[MagpieJo]

i agreed with you that "i dont understand why the stolen generation happened" your words, so not sure how you can explain to me what you dont understand?

 

[MagpieJo]

you need to google what due process is

that doesnt seem fair when Clarkson and co have already been smeared all over the internet? who leaked the allegations?

 

[Aristotle Pickett the3rd]

It means fair treatment, he's got the best lawyers in town and had 6 months to work on his dodgy story.
You need to stop defending an alleged racist who allegedly pressured an Indigenous family to terminate a pregnancy.
