Clarkson shared his regret that a “good man” in Bombers coach Ben Rutten, under contract for 2023, had been caught up in the “circus”.
“That’s football, you can’t be in control of that. That’s something that came from left field and it’s probably out of respect for the club that I needed to listen to what they had to say,” Clarkson said of the Dons. “I met briefly with David Barham on Tuesday. We were just so far down the track with the North Melbourne and GWS decision, that whole process came far too late to give it serious consideration.
“But the due diligence to actually consider coaching a club takes a hell of a lot more than four days for me. I just ran out of time. Different set of circumstances, different time, who knows, but this was the right fit for me.”
