Given half the players don’t like him it’s a good start.

So what did the senior players have to say at their meeting this week? Was it pro Clarkson or anti Mitchell I wonder? I'm confused.
So you've seen everything have you?
Yep
Have you ever seen a man eat his own head?
No
Well you haven't seen everything then have you.

I bet. He's done so much for hawthorn.
Even spending Hus own salary on assistants early days.

But hey, we'll take him off your hands.


Serious question will Clarkson want to go to Collingwood with their list decisions in the last 12 months and having to potentially spend some of next years draft picks or trade out players with currency to get 2021 draft picks to get Daicos if, lets say based on the current ladder, North pick him at #1 before they go for Darcy or Horne?

Carlton may be more appealing to him.

Its Carlton mate.
Why put yourself through that!

Sounds like they wanted one direction and one coach.
Clarkson was going anyway so they brought it forward.

FREMANTLE assistant coach Josh Carr has been stood down by the club and charged while first-year defender Brandon Walker has been warned after separate alleged breaches of quarantine directions.

The Dockers are completing a 14-day home quarantine period after travelling to the Gold Coast for the round 19 clash against Sydney, with special exemptions for visiting the club to train.

Carr, who was part of the travelling party and started his quarantine on Monday, has been issued with a summons for three alleged breaches after police visited his home on Wednesday and found he was elsewhere.

He seemed like a bit of a lad when he played but has turned into a wanker in the media.

How do you feel about all this? Do you reckon the Hawks have done the right thing by a club legend?

regards,

What the media ran with all day today was a fair bit different to the media conference with Clarko and Mitch.
I think its a stupid decision to get rid of the best coach in the game for someone who is unknown.
Hopefully Mitch can get us a flag before the decade is over.
I dont think Clarko will coach next year, Carlton the more attractive job than Pies.
I think Hinkley and Dew should be very worried come end of next season and to a lesser extent Cameron.

Would be a great person to take over from Hocking but im not sure the AFL would pay a million bucks a year. Would have an intimate knowledge of what it would take to make the defensive aspect alot more difficult.

I reckon he will take the off rather than hit up Carlton or Collingwood.

Then possibly Port, I wouldn't be surprised if there's bit of a push there. They have a much better list than Carlton and Collingwood.

The Gold Coast are an interesting one as well. Good young players but alot more work getting it sorted. I reckon he could take that Port side to a flag.
