Ex-AFL star’s bombshell claim Clarko is ‘telling free agents not to re-sign’ ahead of shock return

Which club does Alistair think he's gonna coach?

If he's telling free agents to get ready to join him, does he think he's inheriting a list that isn't far off?

 

[Scotland]

He's probably just talking to players at the club he just left after 15 odd years.

If you were going to a club intending to contend straight away and you know the club you left is rebuilding and has players out of contract 29/30+ that could add value in the short term why wouldn't you?

 

[Altum Volantes]

GWS and Nic Naitanui.

No secret the AFL will pay anything to get him up on the Gold Coast. Wouldn’t be surprised if he’s already agreed to an offer in principle and Dew is there with a countdown clock keeping his seat warm.

Dew to try and go over and above in his final year with his talents extending to keeping the seats either side of him warm as well.

Port Adelaide, perhaps? Hinkley should be sacked if Port don’t make it past a Preliminary Final this year.

Bringing the game into disrepute.

(Unless it's for GC, then nothing to see here: play on)

Feel free to take Geary, Mason Wood and Tom Cambell please Clarko

 

[Catoggio76]

Allister or Alister Clarkson?

Twice …

This story doesn't pass the pub test.

There is only one player I can see that he might actually call and that would be worth taking to a new club and that is James Sicily

No way he is calling blokes from other clubs who he has never met in his life. Also if an oppo coach got wind of it they would go absolutely nuts.

: "Who?"
Clarko: "You know four time premiership coach and ******* genius. Anyway I know ur out of contract so I'm just letting you know I might be coaching at some unknown club next year who might offer U some unknown contract. Get on board son."
Isaac: "That's an offer I can't refuse".

 

[WillHayward]

Remember when Clarko had a go at Papley for staging?

Horse was ready to punch on.

Wouldn't think it would go well with coaches if Clarko is randomly calling their players.
Just wouldn't happen.

If it did, they wouldn't be telling well known Melbourne socialite Mr Rockliff, considering he has a gossip section in his podcast.

Most likely he keeps in regular touch with many of his explayers and they asked him what is he gonna do next year and he said probably senior coach so don’t sign any contract yet as a joke.

 

[Spearman]

Maybe since his original course in the US was nixed, he's taking one in athlete management and this was a homework assignment.

 

[Sarcoidevo]

Rockliff or .... Rockspliff

 

[The 747]

I remember that post on here about Clarko's meth lab in Numurkah. That was a better rumour.

From memory even featured Jason Dunstall writing off Alan Joyce's car by driving into a Sizzler ...... one of the all time great fake rumours to have graced BF

How? He's not currently an employee of an AFL club is he?

Or when a drunk M.Tuck fell down stairs at a pub, broke 2 ribs, club publicly claimed it was a 'training accident' and then paid Scotty Palmer not to publish any other version of events - oh hang on, that was actually true...

Gold Coast have talented kids but they need some guidance on field.

Makes alot of sense for Clarkson to target mature free agents to provide leadership.

Image if Clarkson gets Gunston, Shields, Mcivoy, and Sicily under free agency.

 

[eastfreo75]

I'm imagining it and it isn't very exciting.

Sicily is the only one of them you'd want.

GC don't want to become the retirement village for old Hawthorn players.
Didn't the Bears already try that?

Don’t put fact into the argument, I am trying to troll.

your argument lacks Merrett

 

[Tbonefreo]

Guidance? Like it's that simple.

You have got young blokes playing footy for cash. It's a dream gig. Bringing in old blokes with families cashing in their early retirement package will just egg them on more.

The Gold Coast was a terrible idea at the end of the day.
