Coach Caro's beef against Clarkson is getting pathetic and sad now

[Elmer_Judd]

WTF was wrong with Clarko's sideline antics exactly ?

It added some fun and colour to a gripping and entertaining game and final quarter.

The way its going, even if North went through the entire season undefeated and won the flag, she would still find a way to criticise Al Clarkson.

She used to be a fine journalist (best print one we had in footy in years) but these last few years, she has become too obsessed with personal grudges and muck raking, and it makes it hard to watch Footy Classified these days.

Pull your head in Caro and let it go with Clarko. Obsession is not healthy.

More Crocmedia outrage fodder.

Seeing Clarko riding the bumps of the game was enjoyable to watch. That enthusiasm will rub off on his young players.

Reckon she'll start on the Saints and Ross Lyon next.

That wretched woman is beyond pathetic.

I thought it was great that Clarko was so invested in the game. Journos seem to find outrage where no one else can

yep

he put himself out there and put his neck on the line for the sake of bringing positivity back into the guys

I'd rather that than a risk free, bland coaching and playing style

 

[Cool Kangas]

I just can’t fathom a person with such a great position in the afl media, appearing to hate everything relating to afl itself. She needs to change jobs. What a sad individual.

Yep, God forbid someone from North doesn't look miserable on field for once

Seeing Clarko on the weekend reminded me of how engaged NBA coaches are with their players. It's no surprise he spent a significant amount of time with the Golden State Warriors.

It’s ok guys. As she said, she’s clarkos biggest supporter

With friends like those, who needs enemies?

 

[Engimal v3]

Imagine if Clarko was our coach and Brayshaw was still our president lol

It's funny you said that, as his antics reminded me a lot of Steve Kerr! I like the new Clarko. Pity it's not Tassie he's coaching.

Bad call Caro

AFL 'journalism' in general is beyond pathetic. They care more about scandals than the game.

We keep clicking and being outraged by it, they'll keep making the content.
Don't engage with her and she makes no money doing what she does.

Unfortunately i have seen this story pop up in 4 or 5 different feeds on my Facebook page. It's hard to ignore/stop that kind of algorithm. But as others said, Hutchy and Croc Media have a lot to answer for too, I never listen to SEN since he bought it and got rid of my favourites, like Mark Fine and KB.

Agreed.

I wish Ken would do ANYTHING besides sitting back, sucking on Pepsi Max and stating that he can't do anything once the players have run out.

 

[The Cryptkeeper]

That woman literally sucks the life out of anybody who holds a different point of view.

She should have been sacked and exiled after reporting James Hird had been sacked by Essendon when he hadn't been sacked by Essendon. She should have been sacked for her televised comments about Ben Holland

Wilson is not a journalist. She is a muckraker.

Clarko needs to start smashing some clipboards on the sidelines to get his point across

A muckraking, mudslinging, hypercritic low grade gossip columnist.

It also reminded me of soccer managers patrolling the technical area and barking instructions.

Again, he spent a month with Ang at Celtic in the offseason.

Clarko doing the holding the ball signal is one of the light hearted, funniest moment of the season so far I reckon.

 

[Beerfish]

He looked like Uncle Arthur but it's hardly worth air time.

It looked very contrived and forced to me.

All for some colour in the game, and people being allowed to express themselves - but he looked like he was faking it. And looked like a bit of a dick TBH.


Regardless, this is just the beginning of what Clarkson will continue to face, until he can prove he's innocent of being a prick to the indigenous families in that investigation. This is nothing, it will continue to escalate.

Jesus, you're easily pleased.
