For How much longer does Clarkson avoid scrutiny? Not a lot of tangible improvement to be seen with North.

Eagles kick 8 in the 2nd 1/4 to lead by 18 points at the half.

They struggle to kick 8 in a game let alone in a 1/4

With that logic, you might as well have kept the last couple of blokes... they'd be a lot cheaper, and you obviously don't have any expectations for Clarkson to do better?

He has coached 17 games for us, he needs time from where we are coming from.

Fair enough... so how much more time does he have to avoid scrutiny? He's had 17 games. Another 10? 17? 50? When do you expect to see some improvement?

Butters 0

Correct.
If you want to go quickly, go alone.

Coming from 4 top 5 picks in 4 years, I'd expect better by now.

All 18 clubs need a new text book for these kids to learn from when getting interviewed. Been flogged to death.

You are kidding? Hardest draw in the first 5 weeks for a team that finished equal bottom last year.
GWS, Carlton, Brisbane (all predicted as probable top 4), Geelong at Geelong & Freo who should really be 5-0
Imagine if we got WC, Rich (hello Port) to start the year, the Crows or Hawthorn…
It’s all about perspective, we know where we’re at, it’s going to take time.
Scrutiny after 17 games, turn it up.

Tough start but you’d lose to most of those alternative teams

I honestly do, access to top end talent since 2020. If it wasn't for Sheezel, it would be dire.
