Alastair Clarkson sanctioned by AFL

Posted by: 3AW Football | 3 September, 2009 - 6:10 PM

The AFL has imposed a suspended sanction of $5,000 on Hawthorn coach Alastair Clarkson for his behaviour on-field immediately after the conclusion to last week's round 22 match against Essendon at the MCG.

The suspended sanction will be in place until the end of the 2011 season, the league says.

Clarkson was found to be in breach of AFL rules in that he acted in a 'threatening or aggressive manner' towards Essendon captain Matthew Lloyd as he was leaving the field at the end of last week's match.

    Suspended fine, a slap on the wrist with a feather.

    And yet poor Maric gets a non-suspended fine, for doing something silly yet pretty innocent.

    I know who has the deeper pockets and who made a worst error in judgment. Pretty soft.

    You agree with me.

    IMO his behaviour was disgraceful and if you accept the account in the Hun today he deserved nothing less than an instant fine and a severe warning about any repeat act. His language was clearly audible to those nearby as he was yelling out to Lloyd.

    Pathetic from a senior coach.

    I agree, pathetic.

    He did however succinctly express the views of 90% of the football world.

    But Lloydy is the "Velvet Sledgehammer".

    He can do whatever he wants.

    Did he? By swearing at Lloyd and telling him he'd better retire?

    Making stupid hollow threats is hardly 'succintly expressing the views of 90% of the football world.'

    Pretty funny & hypocritical too, calling Lloyd a sniper when Campbell is moreso and Clarkson was as a player.

    Weak effort by the hawks all-round. Absolutely pissweak really.

    Hawks have come off all this looking pretty ordinary. But like I say, its been entertaining.

    Clarkson was a [censored] stirrer as a player, to say the least, which was good value when he played for us. But as an oppostion player, he was a pain in the arse, with an inclination for the cheap shot.

    He definately seems to have anger management issues. There was the incident where he let rip at Hutchie on the set of Footy Classified, and then the incident at the Coaches Association meeting where he let rip I think at Adrian Anderson, much to the dismay of many of the rival coaches in attendance.

    He seems to have a liking for the C word. That much we can gather.

    The fine should not have been suspended.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
