Clarkson is the worst coach in the AFL. He called the Kangaroos performance against them poor or to a lesser extent that... yet he calls this first class. Jeepers Clarko that is low standards. No wonder he'll never take em to a premiership. He has one tactic and one tactic only, just like Wallace.

Then he must have some **** good assistants, cause you don't get to second on the ladder with a **** coach. You can say whatever you like about our performance today Brades, but I've watched us all year, and all my life for that matter and I still say we played well today.

But your one eyed, like I am with the Swans.
But then again Brades isn't the best guy to take advice of as he is one eyed towards the Dockers!

I agree with you ... plus moving forward you just need a small amount of luck and hope somebody dents the Cats confidence or they incur some bad injuries.

You are honestly starting to remind me of the power house Hawthorn sides of the 80's an absolute dominant force over many, many years.

You're right. I am one eyed like we all are towards our teams, but I honestly don't think anyone could've watched us play yesterday and said we were awful. If he said we weren't fantastic, I would've said OK that's your opinion, but to say we were awful was just a ridiculous comment.

Gary Ayres took Adelaide to prelim finals... and there is no way he is a great coach or even a good one hence why he was sacked by the crows eventually.

The hawks played awful for the majority of the match and were lucky to win thanks to some umpires.

We can go back and forth 'till the cows come home, but I have my opinion and you have yours. We're just gonna have to agree to disagree

Brades, you are mental. Yesterday was Hawthorn's best performance of the year. It was a finals footy style of game, hard, tough, they made planty of mistakes, but still covered them and came out winners. They proved a lot yesterday. They proved that they are probably the 3rd best side in the comp.

If that is their best, then that is a long way from being a top 8 side.

Yet they magically sit second on the ladder. And I'm not sure if you get the herald-sun but the article reviewing the game stated "It was mighty impressive stuff from Hawthorn".
Seems to be just you that disagrees.
