Just watching this game, anyone who thinks Clarkson is done is very wrong. The way he has Hawthorn playing today against Sydney is brilliant...compare it with what Bux achieved with our team against the same opponent. The Hawks' willingness to play through the corridor,their fast ball movement and their forward pressure has been fantastic, from a team below us on the ladder. I just think thie opinion that I often see voiced on Nicks, that we have no choice but to play sideways and backwards in an ultra defensive mindset because our list is so inferior, is just so self defeating ...and wrong. clearly it is Bux' conception as well, which explains how we have played for much of this year.
Would love to get Clarkson, whether or not Sydney can win tonight. But I don't think Hawthorn will let him go. They will let Mitchell go instead, rather than lose this master coach. And I think Clarkson will stay with them. He would have a similar project in rebuilding Collingwood as rebuilding Hawthorn, so why would he be disloyal?
Beware of assuming that Sam Mitchell would be the man we should consider instead. While he has the advantage of coming from Hawthorn's amazing system, beware of assuming that ex legends of the club can automatically become master coaches.

yeah, amazing debut.
He actually reminds me alot of McCreery.
Great coaching by Clarkson to win this game.
Not for him ultra defence at all costs just to avoid a blow out.

Freo my gauntlet pick one. Half the remaining tipsters turfed out last week and hopefully a lot of the 3500 left in tipped Swans last night. If the Pies win Monday it may kill a few more off.

adelaide just kicked their first goal.
Maybe it is the start of the Seedsman led comeback, with Tex playing a role as well

I did but not in the tip 1. Can only pick one. But you have to get it right. 1000 punters booted out after 2 games. I still have pick between , Tigers, North, the scun, Saints bombers Hawks, us a nd Giants in the remaining
