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

[muttley45]

One focus for Clarko to put on the whiteboard should be " opposition red time goals ", been a problem for a long time.

 

[Disco Dew]

I think Clarko is aiming for it this year.

I know it’s extreeeeeeemely unlikely. But *, can you imagine??

 

[Billy Not Really]

I know it’s extreeeeeeemely unlikely. But *, can you imagine??

If we even sniffed finals he'd be heralded as a genius for such a quick turnaround.

I don’t think any of us believe it but I think Clarko 100% knows anything is posible.

Kingy was asking on SEN this morning with the oldest looking 40 something year old there ever was what the bloody hell was going on the last couple of years at north?

Someone here mentioned we’ve got some good recruits this year and while that’s true, the list isn’t that much different. Remember clarko on 360 and how his eyes lit up at the suggestion of coaching north, he knew then. He ******* knew what this list was capable of.

2-0 early days, close games that possibly could have gone the other way, but the systems, structures and execution are so vastly improved. The previous coach should be embarrassed and never be let near a footy team again. Complete and utter disgrace

 

[Psicosis]

How well he & Blakey have the back 6 functioning without Buckets, is not being spoken about enough.

Wasn't just Clarkson. A lot across the AFL knew what the list could do. Tbh I used to cringe when I'd see supporters buying into that. But oh well. We're past that part now but still at the start of a long journey.

a lot of it will be attributed to Logue being rad, but the whole system back there is 100x better than last year

Is Gibbo still helping out our back line?

He slips in there occasionally….

A really great part of it is it gives us a very good position in negotiations.

Tipped us for 7th

Can we continue discussion about the important things in this thread please! Like why the queues for everything at WOMAD on Saturday night were so bad, let alone trying to leave the foundation stage after Florence before the feathers started falling from the sky

The feathers sucked.

A young team flagging late in quarters and late in games is probably expected tbh

 

[king of the road]

Clarkson and his side will be tested by a finals-hardened Fremantle next weekend, but get a chance to be 2-1 if they can overcome his former team in the Hawks in Tasmania.

A bit presumptuous in this article.
A chance to be 3-0 more like it!!!!

Yeah Kingy's been huge on the fact that it's been a lack of structure and coaching that's been the issue over the last couple of years, not a lack of talent.

I know a lot of people here, including myself, said this last year so it's nice to be vindicated and show what we're really capable when pretty much the entire external footy world thought we needed 5 more drafts to get even near to being competitive

You can’t win the premiership without playing finals.

 

[cachepotpro]

The feathers sucked.

yeah I tried to avoid them at all costs. left early Friday night because of them and missed Bon Iver, and then had a hayfever fit on the Saturday for a good hour because of them when I got there with my partner. For a supposedly "environmentally conscious" festival that was anything but

 

[ferball]

I was thinking more 3 or 4 tbh. FA's will have a huge say of course, they'll be lining up soon enough

Has to be 2025. The hundredth anniversary since the campaigners didn't even want to let us into the VFL.

 

[ferball]

I think Clarko is aiming for it this year.

Of course he is.

Pagan would have. Play to win the flag not make up the numbers.

 

[ferball]

I don’t think any of us believe it but I think Clarko 100% knows anything is posible.

Really, we're a <5% chance of winning the flag. That's still a chance tho. We'd have to get very lucky and alot would have to go right. IF TT was on board we'd be a better chance.

 

[Themanbun]

I don’t think any of us believe

 

[ohmygewd]

Just remember which f'in scumbag club that the potato head is coach of, refused us entry into the VFL....it would be fitting for us to be premiers in our century to go along with the AFL/VFL Century premiership.

Well they've had a capable replacement in Logue who wasn't there last year.

I really hope that McKay + Log + Corr can play well together. All 3 are very good individually, but could become an awesome unit together. Just need the footy gods to allow it.
