Clarko is a class act. Speaks well and you can tell the man knows his stuff and cares about the sport. It’s no wonder he’s in demand.
If racism gives you four premierships that’s a good thing
Gr8 to have Clarko back at the coalface. A gentleman of our game and a great footy brain. The AFL will be better for having him back as a head coach
I envisage a post-Barassi-and-Pagan new era. The kids need a communicating teacher. Welcome home, Clarko!
A communicating teacher?
I’m with ya and I’m a Collingwood supporter, best thing that could’ve happened to North Melbourne
Richmond fan and love the club more because of its inclusive culture. Alastair will help the Kangas with their program in that area, as well as on the field. 👍
Well done kangas for landing Alastair, if anyone can pick you up it’s him, I’m also with him on that Tasmania need their own team and identity not one from Victoria, I hope they call em the Tassie devils, imagine that the Devils v Demons, the clash in hell
That sounds bloody awesome!!!
You just cant have the devils and demons, that sounds ridiculous..
Will be interesting to see how it pans out, as good as he was in the late 2000s & early-mid 2010s, it's been a while since then. The one question hanging over him will be whether he has the patience to endure 3, 4 or 5 years of building, which is what may be needed at North, as his last 6 years at Hawthorn seemed like he was rushing to get that side back up & going with recycled players. Not saying he won't do it, just saying it remains a query at the moment.
nope, tas will never get their own team unless one moves as that state does not have the facilities, resources and most importantly, expertise to run an afl level team. Look at GC and GWS, both basket cases. If people want to bring on but but but gws was in a grand final, yes precisely, their very best was 100 points behind the best of the comp and gc hasn't been anywhere near being competitive.
@@taxads7791 you see, you are still talking about alistair the coach, we need alistair the great statesman. Winning a flag is quite easy once you get the right people.
Ange fan, and smiled when he said he was mates with Ange. I was thinking some of the things he was saying was Ange-like. Own style but ultimately talks the same talk. 👍
The fact that clarkson picked us means he probably already has a blueprint for us as out of the 3 clubs, north is perfectly setup for him to coach where at gws and essedon, he needs to re-assemble and then rebuild. To re-assemble means to turf out the deadwood and that means piss off a bunch of people upon arrival. A coach is not going to last too long if his first action is to cut. If clarkson is to coach at gws, he needs to deal with the kelly, whitfield, congniolio problem as they are all on 1 mil per season over 7 years. At bummers, clarkson has to deal with the expectation that essendon is a top 8 side where they are a bottom 3 side.
At north, the team has been readied for him, albeit unintentionally. For all the criticism of noble, he put the right list together and that has always been his strength. Rapport building isn't his strength, he is a list builder.
North has one of the worst lists in the AFL.
@シromy I hope so.
@シromy Coached correctly is the key issue. Noble didn't have a clue, which means those young players missed out on development opportunities over the last 1 to 2 years. Clarko will be playing catch up with some of them, but they should love what he and his team have to offer.
Welcome back home Alistair
End of the day you need one of the most talented lists to win an AFL flag. Can have the best game plan but if the players aren’t talented enough across the board to execute you’ll finish way off the mark.
Probably the shortest coaching appointment in AFL history
They’re Sportsbet actors
Anyone remember Pagan when he went to Carlton. History will repeat itself
clarko is a genuis , history will not repeat itself . i see him getting them in finals at least,
Or maybe not
Once the report into the findings of what happened at Hawthorn b/t 2010-2016 gets published, I feel Clarkson will resign and step away from footy forever.
i would not be in a hurry to expect miracles for quite a few years !!!
I'm hopeful that we might be able to scrape into the finals as early as 2025. Next year I expect us to still be near bottom, just far more competitive than we have been.
now he's going to get sacked
3 hosts all over 6'3. All looking afraid of Clarkson.
master yoda was like 4 foot but is respected by all jedi and feared by all darksider of all sizes...
nice for north supporters id hate to lose another old Melbourne side
i bet he guts the playing group sorting out who's worth the effort and who's up for trade or delisting, and gets his own support couches
I bet they’ll be comfy
Well done North. Was afraid he might go to a bigger club, with a better list, such as the Glenelg under 13's.
Awesome
Who did you want to see as the new coach BB?
Kangaroos are cursed
Bloodyhell81 You might be right.
Clarko must have ruled out GWS a few weeks ago when he reportedly sounded out Leon Cameron for an assistant job. Not sure why he delayed announcing his decision long enough for Essendon to express an interest. Anyway, all's well that ends well. The rumour was that he had negotiated to bring his own team in and that Sonja Hood had agreed to that. That was also going to include a recruiter. The way he is talking here is that he'll only bring in a few select people.
If I'm in Sonja Hood's position and Alastair Clarkson was across from my desk on the verge of signing and all I needed to do was agree to him bringing in his own recruitment officer.....I'd say "How many zeroes need to be on their contract?" haha. No but in all seriousness, You'd concede a few concessions to get a 4x Premiership Coach, he might not get North a Premiership, but he should get them out of the hole that they are in.
@@SilentHotdog28 it's not just the money, it's the complexity of relationship between board and football department, big wigs at druggies can just interfere because they put in a lot of money, here at north, not as much.
he will get his own team and cast out players not deemed to have a future in the playing group too ?
@@fredsmith2277 that's the point, when you have Napoleon working for you, give him the army.
@@fredsmith2277
That has to be part of the plan. He needs to be able to mould his own team to play his preferred style of football. Building that team will be a progressive process over a number of years.
Money, Money, Money ... why he chose Kangaroos over GWS and Essendon 🤣😂🤣
He's already got money....
kangaroos dont have money
@@ethandavies8989 yes they do. They are financially the strongest they have been in their history. They are financially in the black and have over 49000 paid up members a club record despite finishing 18th
@@andrewandy6959 compared to other clubs as they dont get big fans at games thats were majority of money comes from
@@ethandavies8989 You're right in some way, while they don't have the supporter base of a Carlton Collingwood, Richmond, Essendon, North have good people. They are more of a blue collar footy club history wise then the power Melbourne clubs.Back in the 1990s when North had a really good side and won flags they had 10000 - 15000 members..while the power clubs had double that figure in those times..North, then we're struggling financially, but Carey & Pagan helped them win those 2 flags in that decade. I think their young talent list from 19-24 year olds is pretty good..MacKay, Larkey, Davies Uniacke, Paul Curtis, Josh Goater,Tarryn Thomas Zurharr,Tom Powell, & Horne Francis. They just need pretty much tje right development coaches,be stronger and fitter with a good pre season,and get 2-3 good leadership experienced players to help that young list. I think Clarkson with the right people can get this team playing good competitive football in coming years.If Clarkson can make North a genuine top 8 side in next 2-3 years from now, I think their membership can rise from 50000 to 65000. He as coach will also help North get added extra sponsors once they start to win more games.
Sorry to sound cynical,but for some reason i get this feeling that hes been appointed as coach to make sure north ends up in tassie....i reckon AFL wants this to happen....lets wait and see hey....
All good mate we all know that’s not going to happen
@@velvetjuzzy mate tassie is going to get a team..fact....Hes been working on getting an AFL team to tassie..Hes just got a 5 year deal...fact...North is strugglng and has been for years to attract base support..fact...North will be the tassie side come 2026/27....North were in trouble when brayshaw said no to relocating to Gold Coast...You dont think this can happen go ask a Fitzroy supporter.
@@chrisd5980 hahaha Fitzroy were in debt. North very healthy off field only poor onfield with nearly 50k members they’re fine.
You don’t have 7 years plans at ardan street spending millions if you’re relocating that’s just bad business
Perhaps listen to what Alastair was saying about the North Melbourne precinct. Tas is a football state, so won’t want a Vic team as their own. The Kangas and Hawks were only ever a temporary contract. Both clubs are not involvement. Not going to happen.
North Melbourne... You don't just change a team to end up in a different state. Dumbass
This makes essendon's debark even more damning. THeir arrogance to think to come into a bidding where we north have pretty won want to pinch at the last minute. Stuff like this might work in the usa but in a conservative anglosaxon society that is australia, this is a no no.
Clarko will diminish the Culture of failure at Norf but he wont be able to win anything or make the eight. This will take 5 years just to get to the point they make the 8 as genuine finals contenders rather than a fluke year which can always eventuate.
I'm thinking we could scrape into the eight within three years. There is a core of decent youngsters that will develop well under Clarkson's tutelage, which we'll be adding to at this year's draft with the #1 pick as well as hopefully a priority pick. I think Clarko will also go hard for some trades and maybe a free agent. Next year will still be hard going, but we won't be getting flogged by 50+ points all the time.
Brisbane change back to Brisbane bears, 2 teams in tassie: Launceston lions and Hobart hunters

He is good but is he worth ALL the money?
Will this age well?
“But soccer is played in 200 countries ! 🌸” “Yes I know dear, now let your husband speak 💪🏻”
This is the greatest challenge anyone in Australian sport has ever taken on. North are pathetic.
Theres people like you everywhere kicking North when they are down you say pathetic well lets see next year how pathetic we are im glad you said that because soon we will shove your words up your ass
Flag in 5 years?
Good luck with that lol
4!
Probably 6 - with next year still a write-off
easy
Why so pessimistic? It only took 4 at the hawks. Seriously though, North will be knocking on the door of finals in 2025 and will be in with a chance to get a flag any time after that. A lot has to go right to win a premiership, Clarkson is one big piece of the puzzle.
Just remember, messiah doesn't have to do anything, they inspire others to achieve greatness. The mohammads, christs, buddah, moses, all inspired his people to step up and up rose the generals, engineers, doctors who built a new dynasty.
How about Donald Trump?

Nope. Tassie doesn't want to save an existing flagging club. What an insult. And I'm sure North don't want to be saved either.
