I know we are suffering and have endured so much after the deplorable decisions of sacking Norm Smith, the most greatest coach.  Committees make mistakes that contnue today.  Why sign a coach before the season starts, for three more years, after such a disastrous loss.  If he knew his worth and was committed, he would have stayed.  If the circumstances were, we were on the verge of winning a flag,  do you think he would say I am the sole reason we are good?  Do you think he would leave us?  Think about it?  Is a coach going to leave a winning team?

I think it was all red wine ? and Moet Champagne ? last summer at The MFC

President and Board should be on notice along with Goodwin

My eyes on the street tell me Alistair Clarkson has been spotted house shopping in North Coogee, a suburb not too far from Fremantle and Fremantle FC’s home base.

Friend at work concurs Ethan, claims to know someone connected to the Dockers and the word is he has been looking at Real Estate in Perth.

He lives in North Coogee so you could be onto something DC.

If true, does that increase/decrease odds of Yze coming to Dees?

 

My guess is that MFC will the be the last to follow the Director of Coaching model, when Roos was actually the first to propose it a few years ago.

Heard the same on Monday from another Dockers fan, who is usually in the know.

My thoughts are it's absolute not happening. Logic tells you Hawks and Dockers seasons are finished so nothing standing in the way of an announcement. Only thing in Freos favour would be the contempt Clarko has for Kennett.

Pies season is still alive, Longmuir likely to be announced when that finishes

This pure angst gold. You have out done yourself this time on the bag everything dees related scale TGR. Brilliant stuff.

To parlay a barley formed rumour about Clarkson looking at properties in Perth into an opportunity to bag the dees is next level wrist slashing genius. I am seriously impressed.

The other negative nellies on this site should bow before your angsty greatness.

Where have I referred to Clarkson?  Never came into my thinking at all.  But if it suits your puppy-with-tongue-out shtick, keep going with it.
