I picked Hawthorn today, as much as I loathe them. Clarkson is a coaching genius and his game day coaching a particular strength. Watching it now, it looks like the Dogs will come over the top in the 2nd half but It would be great for the Dees to see the Doggies get rolled. 

If the dogs get rolled, they could be playing for a top 4 spot against Port. Brisbane are currently 2 games behind them.  Charlie Dixon will have a field day if the dogs play like this.

Dogs losing doesn’t really help us if:

Port win twice 

Geelong win twice.

If that’s the case we’ll all be booking flights for Adelaide for the qualifying final.

I just can’t see Port beating the Dogs but gees they’re playing poor footy so who knows. 
All I know is we can win the next two and finish first and that’s what matters.

I have it engrained in my mind that we simply lose to Geelong in Geelong.

Whether it’s Zac Thuoey kicking a goal after a siren or losing by 100 pints 2 games after a prelim appearance. Bad things happens down there to Melbourne.

Be delighted to be proven wrong.

Port could most certainly beat the Dogs.

Good player and I’m sure he behaves that way deliberately but [censored] I hate Cody Weightman. 

Clarko showing the Competition that he is still The Master Coach 

Have Whorethorn done the right thing….?

Big Shoes need to be filled. Kennett is responsible….

Time will tell whether they have done the right thing or not. Regardless, I've always felt that any decision Kennett makes is about putting himself front and centre. 

I think Mitchell will be a good coach but history tell us that Clarko still had 1 more crack at rebuilding a side. 
I think Clarko as game day and head coach with Mitchell as development and senior assistant would have been lethal but then ego and money will get in the way of most things.

Absolutely. This is all on Jeffrey Gibb Kennett 

Mitchell is being thrown to the wolves with a very average list. If he survives it will be astounding 

Box Hill is not the same…

Stuart out for the year could help.

For some reason I thought Mitchell was lobbying in the background to take over the role. If he was not white-anting possibly the best coach of all time he certainly could have told Kennett that he was not interested in the job yet.

How is he being thrown to the wolves?

Yep. Mitchell as Assistant for 2-3 years. Not at Box Hill would have been my agenda. 
But we watch and plan to beat them each year. 
We owe them decades of pain

Confirmed Tom Stewart is our for the year. Lisfranc surgery. Massive blow to the Cats especially on top of Touey and Duncan

If port split clearances the dogs will be in strife.  Port have gone tall this week with Dixon, Georgiades, Marshall and Ladhams. Hinkley is just playing them into form in preparation for the kindergarten sized dogs defence.

It’s ours to lose now.

 Clarkson has a fair win rate at UTAS. 74% win rate from 62 games.

He isn’t ready, although he thinks he is, I am sure he has Convinced Jeffrey of that.

Kennett hasn’t wanted Clarko in the chair for years, for whatever reason. Hopefully Clarkson will get another top job. 
He hasn’t finished his tenure. That is abundantly clear. The Hawks 22 are very average at this point…

I reckon the toughness of the dogs is questionable. Bont McCrae etc are amazing but as far as toughness goes I’d back us in every day if the week

Weightman has a super punchable face 

Will Tmac be in tmrw....any news?

 

How the [censored] does Kyle Hartigan get a game? Every time I see Hawthorn play he is the main source of opposition goals.

He’s been ruled out already. 
 

If there’s a miracle this weekend and dogs, port and cats lose and we win tomorrow we 100% finish 1st? Even if we lose next week 

won’t happen but I can wish 

i can't get over that clarkson has been turfed

the hawks' form since the mid-season bye has been excellent

How was that not 50 against Daniel?
