Coach Alastair Clarkson - NMFC Senior Coach - Coaching & Football Discussion

[Ashley B]

As many have said it is painful for all of us . But we are coming from the depths , probably lower than the Mariana Trench. In fact our last few yrs are probably one of the lowest I have seen any AFL side get too. But yesterday for the first time in a long time I could see the future . We are almost back to being an actual team now ,we can score ,and the other team has to at least start to do some homework on us. Because we have chopped and changed coaches so often we are a couple of yrs into yet another five yr plan . Hopefully we get through it this time.

Unfortunately I didn’t get to see much of the first half. As soon as I tuned in, it went downhill at 200 miles/hr.
Perhaps I’m the curse.

Heart on your sleeve type of guy Spud. Alot of us cheesed a.t.m. Keep the faith, we need passion like yours and others.

Watch the first half if you can. Seriously, you'll feel less s**t about the game.

At one point the commentators were saying stuff like "that is beautiful" about our ball movement from one end of the field to the other.

And it truly was.

Lyon was almost in tears.

Best footy I’ve seen us play in forever. Might have been followed up with the worst though…
Oh well.

I was one of the biggest voices of despair on here under Noble. We were playing bad footy, the players were confused, and simply weren't building a style that would let us score to be able to compete. It was deflating.

Yes, we've been losing, but I can pretty clearly see what we're building towards and I'm ******* pumped.

Yeah it’s a big difference. There is a clear plan and vision on field now. It’s not always going to work, but it will, it’ll just take time and games to get there. Continuity is the key.

 

[blackshadow]

This. He also needs to see who can stand up when the pressure is at its hottest.

He did the same at Hawthorn early days as well. Remember him leaving skinny kids on monsters (Rocca maybe?).

He’s playing the long game.

Clarko knows you gotta break a few eggs to make an omelette.

 

[Farthers]

I think the biggest benefit of Clarko is him turning the footy department and club around from the mess that it was in. On field results aside, I feel he is instrumental at getting the right people in to set us up for success.

 

[FlyHigh18]

no one's happy with the weekends result but you can't deny the improvement since clarko has come.
The only thing we can ask for is that improvement continues to a point where we start getting some wins.

i reckon we would have lost half our players had the old staff stayed.

 

[giantroo]

Clarko to be on SEN at 6:30pm.

 

[King Corey]

-The Tassie team, you must be so proud even though your focus is now on the kangas
-How do you think they'll build their list? How long will it take for them to get really competitive, like in contention?
-The giants! What a great story, you must've been impressed by what you saw last week?
-freo the big improvers? Worried about your crowd numbers?
-Last second question about George Wardlaw cut off as the Manshake then Tradie undies ads kick in

I travelled into the future and listened so you don't have to.

Nah, 10 years into a rebuild according to Cornes Francis

 

[Gasometer]

I think we’ll have a better measuring stick by about Rd 12-13 when we start to play teams around wherever we are on the Ladder then

If you take Kal Dawson as precedent last year, he hd to show an extended run of form in the VFL to get a game, and I dare say the same thing will apply to Sellers; 6 on the weekend is great, but it was against one of the weaker standalone sides. Some form against afl-listed players will be a better indicator

Stop making sense.

Maybe but maybe he was downplaying it so they can announce it later in the week with one of the videos that they love doing so much announcing a players debut.

When can we expect Colemans-Jone to do that?

Round 12 is the bye and Round 13 against the West Coast.

You may be right - we could go 2 weeks undefeated! Probably 50/50 at this stage.
