Who taught Hodge
how to dodge?
Yes, who taught that Hawk
how to baulk?
Clarko.
Alastair Clarkson.

Who taught Breust
how to roost?
And who took a chance
on a kid called Lance?
It was Clarko.
Alastair Clarkson.

Who was a brat
in Ballarat
before becoming a Roo
and slotting the winner on debut?
Yes, it was Clarko.
Alastair Clarkson.

Who called Lloyd a tool
after smashing into Sewell?
And who swung his mitten
at the Battle of Britain?
You know that it was Clarko.
Alastair Clarkson.

Who took a stand
against a rowdy Port fan?
And who had a brawl
with a coaches box wall?
Of course, it was Clarko.
Alastair Clarkson.

And who called the ump
a chump
at the under-9s
and had to pay the fine?
You guessed it, it was Clarko.
Alastair Clarkson.

Brilliant, Damo
Who was the club coach
who wanted to poach
the position of coach
of the state side?
It was Clarko
Alastair Clarkson
Cheers Smokie. You’ve had a good run indeed, Rick.
And Daryl is that right? Did he try and coach the Vics?
No. SA when he was at Central District.
It’s always a club that’s been slumming
That’s duped by a Second Coming.
‘Yes, it’s been hellishly dark, son
But that false dawn is Alistair Clarkson.’
It certainly is a dangerous game ajc & invariably ends in tears. Refer to Barass, KB, Shawry, Voss, Hird, etc.
