Background to this story is true: Liam Shiels
was playing one of his first games at Hawthorn as a young and up and coming player. They were playing Adelaide at Adelaide. Shiels placed his belongings in a locker and went to warm up. Returning from the warm up he was confronted with a scene containing his belongings and scattered all over the floor. He looked up and asked what was going on only to be told by Sam Mitchell in no uncertain terms to never put his bag in Mitchell's locker. He was also threatened by Mitchell at other times "If he ever ****ed up again on the footy field during a game he would be dealt with in no uncertain terms. Other threats came from Luke Hodge for similar reasons. Since Mitchell has been coaching Hawthorn Shiels has struggled to get a game and being forced into retirement. Clarkson is well aware of all this and has advised Shiels himself and certain other players are welcome at North Melbourne.
