KozzyCan

How much did Hawthorn have to pay out when they sacked Clarkson?

Who? The club? They publicly set finals as the minimum expectation this year.

Because a coach has never been sacked with a year to run on their contract before.

If we miss finals for a second year in a row then I don't know how the club justifies Goodwin staying on next year.

I think it's pretty obvious where all the leaks were coming from last season and why things have been far more quiet this year.

Depends how much they want Kozzy

He was a gun who had a massive personal crisis hit him as soon as he got to the club. It's pretty unlucky.

His skills let him down.

They got unlucky with Hogan

I reckon Jackson coming back is still a big watch. His press conference was done just to shut down the noise. He was told to say the right thing so they could focus on the season.

Reminiscent of 2022 where we would switch on for a quarter to win and cruise for the rest of the game. Not going to hack it against good sides.

Really disappointed with how we closed out that game and our last quarters remain a massive problem. Should be able to pile on the pain against a fledgling Richmond side. We visibly put the cue in the rack. Had no right to do that after our first five weeks.

Simply not an AFL standard player.

The marks inside 50 has been the biggest positive for mine.

Casey been dominant all game and getting some reward for their efforts since quarter time. The handball game is well and truly on. Been better in the third quarter at trying to hit up targets in the forwardline.

JVR would be back next week you would expect.

Breeze making it hard to get much of a read on things.

Same as Father/Son I think.

Yeah, nah. The Captain or Vice Captain addressing the players after a game is not a story at all. I doubt someone would even think to 'leak' something like that it's such a non-event. Petracca giving a speech was only a little story because of everything that happened last year. If you're trying to catch a rat, you need better bait.

Ain't no one caring about Gawn or Viney making a post game speech.

Who does it help to deny this? It obviously didn't happen as reported. Morris had a bad source and didn't follow up with anyone from the club.

It's a weird one though. I'm sure Goodwin will be asked about it on 360 as well tonight.

Salem saying on radio this morning that this didn't happen...

I guess he can still ply his trade by playing VFL.
