SEN Breakfast · North Melbourne coach Alastair Clarkson in the studio (24.04.26) · 23 Apr 2026 podcast

You've got a good relationship with your players and it's all about getting the very, very best out of them and buying into team and buying into what we expect.

And when the standards are there, we give them a pat on the back.

And when the standards aren't, we give them a kick up the bum.

um so it's it's pretty simple and um i've always um worked on um on the theory if you develop a really really strong relationship with anyone whether it's your partner whether it's your children whether it's your friends or or whether it's the players that you coach you've got a really really strong relationship then um you can cuddle when it needs to be cuddled which um which is which is necessary and and when you when you need to give a shot especially when

You're going down to Google and you're four times, four goals down at the three quarter time and mistakes have been made in that previous five minutes that has turned a two goal deficit into a four goal deficit.

Then some things need to be pretty stern.

It hasn't.

We've got a set of standards that we expect, and Kirch was the first one that knew that he'd fallen below the standards.

And that's when we talk about, you know,

It just gets blown away out of proportion.

You just did it then, fist to the chest.

How would you describe it?

I understand.

It was just contact to the chest, but it's not a fist to the chest.

It's just that things get blown out of proportion.

It's just like the main confrontation was around the standards and looking one another in the eye and say, that's not to the level that we want.

But the actual physical contact was that minor that it's just like nothing to see.

And that's why Gertz didn't.

rally, um, because he knew that what, what, what we're after and what we're chasing is, is high standards, world-class standards, and that fell well below what we were expecting.

And, um, and whether it's Kirch or, um, or, or Larks or whoever it is, they're, they're the standards that we're chasing.
