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

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.
