Don’t know if this has been posted. Might’ve gone unnoticed as it happened same time as our match.

Clarkson is scum.

Clarko’s awkward gag: ‘Did someone say KFC?’

After 369 matches at the helm of Hawthorn, four-time premiership-winning coach Alastair Clarkson has used a line he probably never thought he’d say.

Why is he scum ?

Did you read the article and what his comment was in reference to?

Yep, still think it's funny. Have you seen the commercial he was referring to?

I have. I have even made the reference myself. Unacceptable to play a debutant as sub and then crack jokes when held to account for it. He's a midget pig.

To each their own, comes across to me (admittedly I didn't see the actual interview) that he was trying to lighten the moment.

88 has lost the plot on this one , stupid call saying he's scum

You mean like when he called Papley a cheat? That kind of lightening? Scum might be a bit strong but I reckon there are 17 AFL coaches I like better as humans.

Honestly what has that got to do with this conversation? I did not say I liked him, I simply said that I thought his response to that one particular question was funny and lightened the mood.
What do you think he should have done? Instead of trying to make a joke of the situation do you think he should have fallen to his knees and begged the player involved his forgiveness because no one got injured?
Give me a break.

Sometimes the footy gods don't smile on you. No more needed than that. Happy to give you a break.

There's ten pages of you throwing the word scum around so let's not be nit-picking.

14 pages champ , about 13 of those on St Scum !Scumthorn etc

 

[Chaisa]

Pretty boring round ahead imo.

Maybe I'm just starved for quality footy after the off-season and a 2020 that was quite frankly a slog, but Geelong/Brisbane is a huge game, our game could be great if both sides play like they did on Saturday, and you've got other games like Melbourne/St Kilda, Western Bulldogs/West Coast, Fremantle/GWS and Carlton/Collingwood that seem like good contests.

 

[Chaisa]

Is a staple of my diet, although frequent the St Ives one more these days.

Ways you can tell you're from the southern side of Sydney Harbour - you've never actually had Chargill Charlie's.

We've got El Jannah was instead

You will learn from this one

 

[bedford]

to all up there please take care and stay safe

Love El Jannah!

 

[Chaisa]

Maybe it's just me, but whenever I've had El Jannah I've found the chicken rather dry. Good sauce though.

Frango's though

Frango's though

El Jannah has gone a bit downhill imo but their garlic sauce is amazing. Frango's is soo good too!

Not good thinking about this at 10am, ha!

Sad news Rowell has suffered PCL injury but "he is expected to be available to play football again in 2021."

Far better news than doing his ACL.

 

[hairy biker]

Whenever I hear about players doing their PCL I think back to Adam Goodes.
PCL tear early in 2004, didn't miss a game

Goodes shrugs off knee injury

www.smh.com.au

Ruptured a PCL early in the 2012 GF, strapped it up and kept playing;

To quote our Doc;
"People don't keep playing, they always come off.... but he was able to put it in the back of his mind and still compete. It's amazing."

Not a knock on Rowell, but an aspect of Adam's game that is often overlooked.

Rowell might have come back on if Gold Coast were playing in a Grand Final.
