Rubbish article. Stewart uses his personal experience as a reference but this condition has such a huge range it has no real context. And Malthouse's dad probably had GBS some time around the 1800's given how old Mick is!

    Did you happen to read these bits:

    "...said he did not know the finer details of Clarkson's health"

    "I haven't got a PhD in Guillain-Barre, I don't know how serious it is in his (Clarkson's) case"

    "I can't pre-empt what degree Alastair is going to have recovering. I just don't know"

    Yes, he is using his own experience as reference, which combined with him saying he doesn't know Clarko's full story makes it pretty much the opposite of "rubbish".

    Then why does he say it's very doubtful Clarkson will coach again this season.

    I'm not attacking Ian Stewart. I'm attacking journo's who will write whatever and then the subbies who write the headlines

    Alastair Clarkson unlikely to coach again this season because of Guillain-Barre syndrome, says Ian Stewart

    What a load of crap that is. Stewart is sharing his story and the insight he has found but the journo has then changed it largely in to something shocking. Where's the thought for Clarkson's family or the footy club.

    Agree about the headline, but that's journos isn't it?

    This was about the 3rd or 4th article written about Clarko, so after the thought for him and his family they probably sought out someone who had been through it to shed some light on the condition itself being as rare as it is.

    The journo does not submit the headline.

    That is the sub editors call

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
