Smashed by a fairly ordinary Hawthorn side, with some big injuries including Day, Lewis, Jiath, Wingard, and Breust.
The big question: Is the issue North's list? Or has the game gone past Clarko as a coach?
"Meanwhile, North Melbourne coach Alastair Clarkson concedes his side is still a long way off the pace after forecasting the match would be an indicator of where his rebuilding outfit sits in its development.
"He was left in no doubt and North has now lost 26 of 27 games since success in Clarkson's first two outings at the helm early last year."
@ajsadauskas@afl Reminds me of when Mick Malthouse went to Carlton after leaving Collingwood, and it quickly became clear it wasn't nearly enough to turn that club around. But even then Malthouse finished up at Carlton with a 20-33 win-loss ratio
Didn't Malthouse openly attack the carlton management after he left by accusing them of not being willing to rebuild their list as much as they needed and being way too arrogant because they're carlton with 16 premierships?
@maegul@ajsadauskas@afl No, that's not true at all. He got fired because he openly attacked the Carlton management on a radio program while he was still senior coach
It’s their first proper year with Clarko, not gonna judge too much until the end of the year. They’ve really suffered from (A) being a minnow club that doesn’t naturally attract talented players with experience, and (B) terrible luck at the draft until the last two or three years. Their midfield appears decent and Larkey is elite but they’ve been hurt by being denied access to players like JUH and Jed Walter.
