All I can say is Thank you Mr Magoo

Shall we put a fork in him? Seemed to work with Tazza

We have to give Clarko time. We know he is one of the best coaches out there and we are lucky to have him. There were always questions about whether Shaw or Noble were good coaches however there are no excuses for the playing group now. Unfortunately the culture at north Melbourne has been...

Just calm the farm down everybody! Clarko is still most likely to come to us. What’s he supposed to say to the reporter who ambushed him at the airport this evening? If he said Essendon is not at option then it will be clear he has chosen North and ruined the strategically planned and timed...

Clarko into $1.30 on Sportsbet now for next north coach.

It's a buyer's market for coaches at the moment esp. with Clarko available. North have to take advantage of this moment in time as opportunities like this don't always come along.

Interestingly, the list of clubs that may be looking for a new coach this year are GWS, Port Adelaide, West Coast and North Melbourne. It is quite possible if it is Clarko's preference to stay in Melbourne that North would be his only choice..... Timing is everything.....

Love this development. There has been something seriously rotten with the culture from admin to player level for the past 20 years and the place needs a good clean out. This may even cost us gun players such as JHF and Zurhaar in the short term due to all the instability however it will set us...

I can only see this working if Noble voluntarily wants to step down as he has had enough of being head coach and would be happy to General Manager / List Manager and Clarko has a soft spot for North and genuinely wants to help us be a powerhouse again. I'm sure Clarko would be able to command...

Yes, unfortunately the culture of nearly the entire playing group over 20 years old is rotten to the core. The only players I would keep going forward with the rebuild would be JHF, McKay, Ford, Curtis, Comben, Phillips, Powell, CCJ, Bergman, Taylor, Goater, Edwards, Larkey and Perez. The rest...

What a mess. There is something seriously wrong with the culture at North Melbourne and it has been like this for quite some time. The list seriously needs a major clean out. I can see why they delisted 10+ players last year. They have to delist another 10+ this year and probably again the year...

Nourishment?

Why don't people get it that CHOM is playing in VFL to get some match hardening due to his history of multiple bony injuries/fractures before being put into the firsts? Similar story with Tom Powell. We all know both have potential to be great players but are coming back from injury so they need...

He was the steak knives in the Stephenson deal

Yes, Powell is going to be a superstar but maybe he’s still carrying some injury from last year and the club want to ease him back in this season and not overload him? We all don’t want to see him physically breakdown again and miss a large part of the season. I’m pretty confident the club...
