Clarkson won't push for new deal, says handshake enough to stay at North Melbourne

Alastair Clarkson will not seek a contract extension this off-season, he told AAP. The four-time premiership coach is in the final year of his five-year North Melbourne deal, signed in late 2022. "That'll do me," Clarkson said — meaning a handshake, not a signed contract. His record: 19 wins, one draw, 59 losses. North says there is no rush.
