Where to now for North?
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 You only get Mitchell/Lewis/Hodge/Franklin/Roughead once in a lifetime.
@yo_eddy @afl And then a truckload of really talented footballers around that core.
Cyril, Burgoyne, Brian Lake, Luke Breust, Jack Gunston, Ben McEvoy, Paul Puopolo, Josh Gibson.
Also, he already had a group of very talented older players to work with when he got there.
Peter Everitt, Shane Crawford, Trent Croad, Nick Holland, Mark Williams, Richie Vandenberg…
@ajsadauskas @afl exactly.
