Or running half-naked around Manuka Oval before the snow fell. Or threatening all manner of deeds as he advised Matthew Lloyd to retire past-match in 2009. Or being saved from a VFL coaching stint by Sam Mitchell's tackle on Shane Tuck. For the first time in forever, Clarkson is coaching a nondescript, vanilla, utterly boring football team.
