AFL: Adelaide are highly unlikely to trade young gun Dan Curtin despite significant interest from Western Australian clubs.
North Melbourne coach Alastair Clarkson says the ongoing stress created by his team’s battles and the lingering Hawthorn racism saga contributed to a foul-mouthed bench rant as he confirmed he would return to the coach’s box for the rest of the season.

New to Kayo?Addressing the matter for the first time publicly on Thursday, Clarkson, who was also given a suspended two-week ban and fined $20,000 for a homophobic slur directed at St Kilda’s Jimmy Webster during the pre-season, said he was feeling the combined pressure of a winless season and lack of closure in the racism investigation that could now be headed to the Federal Court.
“Just things build up and you don’t know that it’s happening to you until you get in an emotional state and then you react. “You can get embroiled in the emotion of the game … I think it’s fitting I’m in the box for the rest of the season.”Clarkson said the 2024 season, which is yet to yield a win for the Kangaroos from 11 matches, had been harder than expected, adding to the match-day pressures he’d faced.
