As someone who wanted to draft Elijah Hollands with Pick 3 and having watched him closely since, I can tell you categorically he’s been sh*thouse. His best game was against us in a 56 point demolition.
Wills best games at AFL level are better than anything Hollands has produced.
Whilst some of Clarksons game day selection/tactics/coaching should absolutely be questioned given the teams current performance, I for one am very happy that we have such a senior coach driving the ship. A first time coach would be a lamb to the slaughter right now.
The only senior players we should be acquiring are ones that are unconditional for 2 hours on the weekend. Lobb ain’t that, it’s a Polec-esc mercenary type pick up. We already have enough of those, when will we learn?
Morale is pretty low at the moment. I don’t think publicly potting individual players is the best way to improve.
I know for a fact there are some tense conversations happening behind closed doors, but we can’t seriously expect that he should call those things out.
Walked past the Hawthorn coaches box on Sunday. They literally had a board up with “LDU”, I assume tracking his influence. Clubs are putting an enormous amount of time into him. He’s our one wood and is getting very little help. Anyone that thinks we can afford to lose him need to f*kn educate...
Can’t really blame him for holding off, can we?
Has experienced 8 years of this, still no real end in sight.
Sees McKay, JHF, Tarryn and Zur next year all experience more wins in a season then he’s had for 4.
Club has done itself little favours for a sustained period of time.
Tex bag ✅
Fogarty bag ✅
Rankine to have 20+ and 3 goals ✅
Scott 3x turn overs exiting d50 resulting in goals ✅
Simpkin 2x turn overs going i50 resulting in goals ✅
Time to start doing things differently Al. Only positive out of today is that hopefully it will be forced. The club adopting a “oh it’s Clarkson, he will just sort it” mentality is not going to work.
