I doubt he meant that he would threaten people in the same way:

“You’d think with the experience that you would (act differently), and I’d like to be able to say I will continue to learn my lessons, but this has been with me ever since I was a kid; if I see something unjust or untoward, I’ll defend,” he said.

And I saw something that was unjust and untoward, and I felt like I needed to defend our players and our staff - and I can’t give a guarantee that I won’t do that again in the future, because I think that’s important.

Is this going to be like Wayne Carey, where he has a huge back log of indiscretions but only ends up getting punted for something relatively minor?
After leading us to a couple of flags, that works for me.

But seriously, maybe you guys could take all this random Clarko stuff to another thread. I'm sure he'll generate enough material to justify a new one.

Oh we know he'll get angry again. That's guaranteed and everyone knows it. He'll kick a tantrum in the box during the game day, he'll go red and yell down the blower, he'll crack it at parasite reporters, will protect his players from outsiders how he sees fit, have disagreements with colleagues, get upset at AFL HQ, etc etc etc.

And the same warriors will be there waiting with their cameras, microphones or keyboards. Omg he got angry again! Cry me a river. We know exactly what we bought.
 
I mean, it's somewhat related. He has a tendency of acting poorly and thinking it's 'defending the interests' of his players.
It's not. He is an angry, erratic and complicated bloke - but that isn't relevant here. Bringing this stuff into the Hawthorn investigation thread is like his supporters bringing up how he does charity work or the Rioli's like him.
 
It’s in the broader conversation of discussing his character in relation to the allegations. It’s obvious he has poor self regulation. L

Is and an indication he is capable of doing things to players that contravene normal behaviour? I’m sure it is.
discussing his character... indication of capability... you mean a bit like a review that was conducted by a fraudster?

Here mate, you can have today's double standards trophy :trophy:

Think he needs some time away from game if he can't respond without threatening people.

has had time away from game............

thats the odd part.

it is entirely possible to be supportive of your people without being threatening.

media people will always do scummy things to get a story. An AFL head coach should hold themselves to a higher standard, especially given his current predicament.

I think it's relevant. It talks to his character and whether you believe that he did what all those people said he did.

In his mind, in the context of protecting his players, their reputations and the club, I don't think there's much he wouldn't do. That's his problem. He's practically admitting that he can't guarantee he won't over-step the line.

He needs to learn that these are adults who can look after themselves. He doesn't need to cross the line to protect them from reporters or pregnant partners.

And then he's directly quoted saying something absurd

It's not relevant! Take it to another thread.

maybe this response is why his lawyers advised him not to respond to the ABCs requests

"And I'll do it again!"
Huh so he has a temper, I never knew that was proof positive someone was racist.

Read up a bit he did say he’d stand up for his players again but yeah frame it how you want.

To be honest the only problem I have with having a go a t the journo was the words he chose, those parasites should be blasted at every opportunity not only when they force themselves where they shouldn’t be.

Again I want the racism issue to be fully investigated and if it has been proven then yeah get rid of him but remember at the time of the report he wasn’t interviewed so he hasn’t had the opportunity to defend himself. IF he is found guilty then it won’t just be him that should cop it.

What is the deflection here? Trying to bring an irrelevant event into this thread or calling it as such?

Are we going to do character assessments on everyone involved? If so, what are you hoping to prove anyway? Even if you show someone is capable of committing a crime it doesn't prove they committed it.
