I wonder if Kennett is wishing that he kept Clarko now for 2022

Na, Jeff is a big believer of the cycle of change. Every era must come to an end...
Clarko has been there for about 20 years and is arguably the best coach ever in VFL/AFL...

I wonder where he will go next... Clubs should be bashing his door down... His got a good attacking style thats good to watch and can adapt to and against different plans and tactics very well. First he invented the "Clarko cluster" running off half back in waves, then when teams finally figured that out he pulled out another game plan, short kicking and marking, keeping the ball, he used different defensive presses and he gets the most out of his middle grade players... Ye i can't speak highly of him enough, his a legend

He will be a good acquisition for any club

It should be interesting to see Sam Mitchell coach, I wonder if he would coach from the sideline like Chris Fagan lolz..

It's probably better that way, then he can give the players a spray as they run past lolz.

Ye well in soccer and other sports they all do it from the side lines... In fact, i think Clarko may have been the first to do it in AFL, he got sick of using that phone and wanted to convey his word directly from the side line...

Mitchell has been an assistant coach for a while now at west coast i think...
We'll see if he can win a premiership as coach with the hawks.
His already got 4 plus a brownlow medal and several club best. He was a gun. Best kick on both sides you'll ever see. 50% right 50% left and both spot on

If NZ was a state of Australia, together they'd be third on the table. Just sayin. Don't you go and be getting any rash ideas.

True though that Australia has been doing really really well. It good for my wife and I... We're in a position to cheer for two nations... Except when they come up against one another.

I have not even bothered to watch the Olympics and this explains why.

Yes there is. This just blows my mind below!

Berry turned away from the flag when the national anthem was played during the medal ceremony at the U.S. Olympic trials, and it caused an uproar from Americans all over the country. Despite, the negative attention, Berry feels like she belongs. o_O

Berry hopes to be standing on the medals stand a few nights from now while "The Star-Spangled Banner" plays, and if that happens, the Olympic hammer thrower says that she will continue to do what she’s been doing. o_O

There is a right way and a wrong way to protest. This is a wrong way!

And what about the American gymnast near the first days of the Olympics who did not perform her routine correctly who had the opportunity to redo it, and chose to pull out, and thus sink the rest of her team mates to qualify for this team event. THEY WERE THE FAVORITES. Then this same US gymnast pulled out of two other events a few days ago.....she felt she was entitled to do this.

And then there was the favorite US men's runner who was so confident in his abilities, at the the last moment, around the last turn noticed runners were passing him. He tried to catch up and he did in the 3rd spot then deliberately let up and came in fourth. He failed to be one of the first three to automatically qualify during this heat event to the next. It was astonishing to watch. Never seen anything like it. What type of 'food' are they giving these kids at school? He was like in a fog state or just full of himself....disgusting

And @APAK

Under the Commonwealth, New Zealand is actually a state of Australia, u know...
And after visiting the south island about 10 years back i proposed that Australia claim NZ, i mean unite with NZ in the ANZAC spirit...;)
Think about it... It would be fantastic... One nation... Under the southern cross... United... Together... Deal?

Didn't know that under a Commonwealth law NZ is part of OZ. So how does Canada fit into this equation?
