I am confident Clarko will come good for you, it is just going to take some time.

It will not happen over night, but I am certain it will be worth it!

Took Clarko from 2005-2008 to sort the Hawks out. Personally I’d rule out 2023 and count from 2024 to 2028.

Far out one of those years was a flag bro.

Sure was! Hopefully Clarko could replicate that for your Roos in 2028 ( just not against my hawks please ).

This thread is premature.

We are the youngest list in the AFL and this Clarkos first full season.

Hawks, Adelaide & Saints games coming up will reveal a lot.

If we are still losing every week next year, we can talk.

Halfway through the first game of the “revealing” games.

Hawks aren’t that much older.

Is it premature yet?

Just wait until we don’t win a game all year. Bottom of the ladder again, it will be 14 wins in 5 years in 2025

We are only going to get worse from here

Isn't it currently only 12 wins since 2020? There is no way we'll win another game for the rest of the season let alone 2.

I meant after this year in 2025

Oh nah we won’t win another game for the year. No way In hell.

And I can guarantee the players feel that way too.

I feel like he's too nice now. Like when they fixed Robocop and he was too PC and no one listened to him (even the kids didn't listen). Unleash the beast!!!

He may have been watered down for whatever reason. And again, I blame everyone around him

He should be blasting this group of pathetic players

 

[year of the roo]

**** him off.

 

[Chadwiko]

Can y'all please stop blaming the coaches as if we have a list capable of winning AFL games?

We don't.

I agree. He should have players pinned against lockers and giving huge sprays.

 

[bennymate]

Pretty wild how we've basically become clarko's retirement fund.

He can sit back and just collect his 1m per annum for the next 3.5 years until he calls it, he looks dejected and flat from the racism saga and he seems to have lost his passion for the game. Ideally we would've offered 3 years with KPIs but that's a bit hard when we had no leg to stand on.

Bump, was warned 12+ months ago he won't see out his contract. Nothing has changed.

Dear Mr Alister Clarkson,
As a senior coach with years of successful experience. It is your duty to get your players up for game day each week. Being tactful & making the most of the list you have . You are on $1M dollars a year & the expectation is to at least get our players up for at least the fight each & every week . Don’t care what you’ve done previously or how many flags u have won . But when u see players dropping their heads. Not giving a duck & simply give up ….?! I’m sorry but that’s on you .
My personal opinion as a paid up loyal member. Is that in my 50+ plus supporting this club , you have lost the Shinboner out of Arden st. Something no other coach has ever managed to do ever before . Your game plan is non existent & I honestly believe it has gone past you . The players are not playing for the jumper & even less for you .
Please do us all a huge favour & resign . You are a disgrace & a laughing stock to the AFL community… let’s just say..” calmer is a bitch”

Need new blood
New fresh coach with a modern game plan …players don’t give rats who Alister Clarkson is & what he’s done ?!
Half weren’t even born when when he won he’s last flag ?!#
Go away old man .

We don't.

Pretty sure Rawlings isn’t playing 4 wingman in the backline.

Pretty sure he’s not tried to employ the worst defensive zone and high line in history, if he thinks it’s innovative, he’s missed the mark on a biblical manner.

Hoyne’s numbers won’t be pretty this week. We may be a chance of being the worst defensive team since the main stats were taken.

Anyone who is blaming it purely on the players and not on this game plan doent know a thing about football.

We’ve inserted one of the best intercept backs in the league into the side in the last month and it hasn’t moved the needle. It never will if you concede uncontested marks and acres of space in your forward line like we do

 

[RooDave]

Surely the softly softly coaching approach needs to be reviewed at this point? I get that we have a lot of kids but this "dish up whatever you please and we'll all be mates on monday" needs to disappear.

I'm really starting to question where Clarko is as a coach right now. The players arent playing for you. The players look totally devoid of confidence and that starts with gameplan, structure and knowing that teammates are going to do thier jobs.

Clarko might have a lot of kids and he really might believe this is the way forwards BUT we're now starting to ingrain a losing culture into the new kids too. How does he turn this ship around?

THIS.

It HAS to be the worst team defence in history.

It is incredible. We are so bad at defending. Team wide. With our player deficiency down back we should be a team that never leaves a man alone one on one to cover for the size mismatches but instead it’s not even a one on one, it’s 10m of space on one forward.
