Coach Xavier Clarke - Assistant Coach (Forwards) - Welcome to North

[Rod Stroker]

X and Clarko are taken as nicknames though.

I hear ya. Get. Rid. Of.

Not sure about this, don't know much about him, but he hasn't been mentioned with other assistant coaches for head coaching gigs.
Also not sure if he's been bundled out with the rest of the "former regime" in Dimma, Mini, etc.

Would have thought he would be a great asset in trying to retain TT given his previous club roles. If he didn’t that alone it’s worth the appointment

Clarko's (Inverted) Maxi-me!

Expected name puns aside, welcome XC, hope you can make a big contribution to our great club.

Another Xavier to join our illustrious list of Xavier’s.

Yeah that’s about it.

Welcome, brown Carlo Ancelotti

Interested to see how well Clarko's generally pinpoint approach gels with the philosophies of a graduate of Dimma's School Of Chaos. Could be some compromises to be made on both sides

 

[RightWingRoo]

If I remember correctly, he won a couple of flags in the old NEAFL with the NT Thunder. Then obviously found his way to Richmond and was part of their successful era.

Seeing another former Clarko desiple in Yze getting a senior gig. The move makes sense for Xavier to come over, to further his senior coaching ambitions.
Should be a good move for both parties.

I was wearing my NT Thunder cap today - good omen!

Really? X is still available.
Ive been unashamedly referring to Xerri as a donkey this year so no confusion here.

 

[The Warlord]

Has a nice synchronicity that we're announcing a successful indigenous coach coming to work with Clarko in Grand Final week.

Hope they resurrect one day, maybe in the SANFL.
The Thunder program was a good opportunity for NT players to test themselves at a higher level.

Know nothing about the man, but sounds good

Welcome Professor!

Excellent get.

Mids, with Adcock coaching the backs I reckon.

Russell moving to a development role.

Thank God.

As for which players he is keen to work with at Arden Street, the 40-year-old sees a bright future for those of the royal blue and white persuasion.

, Harry Sheezel and George Wardlaw) are really going to take the club to the next stage. They’ve got an exciting few years ahead with new talent coming through.

“That’s what I’m most looking forward to is stepping in with a blank canvas. From all reports they’re all willing to learn and get better.

“It’s a club that is excited for the future.”

Clarke will look after the forwards and oversee team offence in his new role with North.

[Daniltchenko You Beauty]

"Forwards and team offence"

Seems like we're taking a more holistic approach rather than the typical line backs/mids/forward line coach set up.

Sounds good.
