Pity warmongering mass murderers like Churchill kept repeating history.

Sore loser?

Dieter I do hope you take that as very tongue in cheek.

Glad to see Hawthorn embrace The Curse of Alistair Clarkson, but less glad to know that he will go to Carlton or Collingwood.

It'll be interesting to see which Carlton side turns up on the park tonight given this development.

Didn't want to start a new thread, but geez as bad as the Hawks are; at least they didn't sack their coach of 13 years halfway through someone else's press conference like Port Melbourne just did...

Far out.

I have a great deal of respect for Caro and have been for many years regardless of what people think of her.

There is a reason why she has good well connected sources within clubs. 

Yep its a disgusting industry to see how she was treated. It wasnt the first time either. The media need to take a long hard look at themselves because substitute Caro with Eddie, Whately, Robbo, Hutchy etc....no one would have come down that hard on any of the boys. 

 


Clarko's press conference had all the air of "I'm only leaving Hawthorn because I love the club too much. It's got nothing to do with a godfather offer from another club."

Agree wholeheartedly 

Don't know if anyone else has said it but y don't we table a offer to clarko for 2023 he names the length and takes a club he played for to the big dance here will be plenty of clubs thinking the same thing

I wondered about this. It's not as young as it might first seem. Clarkson was 37 when he started; Hardwick was 38. Going back a bit further, Sheedy was 34, Matthews 34 and Barassi (as playing coach) was 29. 

Edit: Clarkson is now only 53. Clearly young enough to take on another senior coaching job if he wants.

Interesting. Clarko was out of the game for 8 years and Hardwick 6 though. I thought clubs had pivoted away from taking on young coaches fresh out of the game like Mitchell 4 years back, and wanted extensive 5-10+ year apprenticeships, given what we've seen with Voss. 

Blues v Saints seems like an audition for who Clarko might want to coach.
Two decent lists crying out for a quality coach, having had poor seasons

where was this respect when they got smashed by Freo in Tassie or beaten by the crows at Marvel in the last 3 weeks?

zero excuses, a shameful performance by us to draw that game.  

Two years in a row we've ruined our chances. 

I'd be very surprised if we have any success in September.

Clarkson would be fantastic for us. I reckon we've got the best list in the league. But yeah nah it's not going to happen.

Watching the pre game fox footy show tonight and a quote from Gary Lyon in reference to the events today:

”I love the Hawthorn footy club. No I seriously do”

Interesting thing to say from Mr Melbourne himself.

The next 2 months will provide an indication on whether Goodwin is an ordinary to good coach or a fantastic coach that is on the brink of achieving greatness for this club. 
 

If it’s looking like the former over the next 4 game, then we’ve got a bit of work to do and there’s someone fantastic available to steer a talented list to the promise land.


*am bemused by the adulation of Clarkson. 

His time has passed.

This move with Clarkson must be the least surprising think in AFL this year.

Honestly forgot that his Dad played for the Hawks.

Just assumed he was a casual Hawks fan growing up like the Ox was.

Still raised an eyebrow for someone who is so publicly a Melbourne man.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
