comment of the day !! lol

Can't spot him:

 

Hawks re-contracted Burgoyne, Hodge, Mitchell, Gibson this year, when they were 2 games clear on top of the ladder, perhaps thinking they had the 4th flag in the bag.

That may well go down as their biggest blunder!

Then our baby Demons came along and beat them playing fast, relentless football, giving them a view of the future and we started their fall from the top of the ladder.  Then they watched GWS dismantle Sydney the same way and must have been shocked to see WBD run and run their way to the flag. 

Clarkson saw the fast running football of the future and didn't like his chances of competing.  So he started reneging on the deals with his champions sowing the seeds for a 'winter of discontent'...  Have to wonder if Clarkson has panicked.

Wouldn't be surprised if some of Hawk's multi premiership players who are playing for 'unders' watching this week unfold will call their managers to look for other opportunities and a chance to earn some decent coin before they retire or get 'pushed' by a ruthless coach.

Our victory over the Hawks may well go down as a watershed game that started the demise of the once mighty Hawks

Have to wonder about the departure of Chris Fagan on Hawthorn. It is like it has really hit the fan since he left.

 

Danners was a massive fan of Fagan and gave enormous credit to him. Maybe Fagan was to yin to Clarkson yang ...

That's what I've heard. My old man knows him and said to me as soon as Fagan went to Brisbane, how would Clarko go without his minder.

I think we have a lot more blunders then this.

I wonder if Clarko knows that the 2016 style/list was not going to cut it in 2017.  Then he has to reinvent the game plan and find a way to deliver on it.  We may think ( even hope) that the sky is falling for the whoresons, but perhaps all we are seeing is a pivot and evolution.

interested in the Fagan comments.  Let's see how that plays out up north, and at the Hawks.

i'll get the popcorn and settle in, could be fascinating!

You can't criticise any of the decisions Clarkson has made up to this season. His choices have netted 4 flags.

I only hope that he has just made mistakes which will send them to the bottom. Look what happened when we pushed our soul - Junior MacDonald - out the door. As well as Mitchell and Lewis , Clarkson has tried to offload Whitecross. I seem to recall " let's win it for Whitey as a mid-year battle cry!!

The clincher will be Lewis playing in a Melbourne premiership.
