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.

More like whipped with a feather.

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.

Isn't it funny, All these threats yet they had a half of footy to get him but did they ??? No, weak pricks. It sound like alot of schoolyard [censored].

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
