IIRC everyone was laughing at Hawthorn because they were the last of four clubs to fill their vacant coach chair and were seen as scraping from the bottom of the barrel. That now looks ridiculous.

That is a completely fair comparison, the only major difference is that Clarko got the job through a gruelling selection process

Moore is the only one who is young and good. Grundy is good, Roughead and Cox are neither.

It cannot be any worse than Collingwood’s trade period

A fine young list? I mean, there is some potential but the salary cap stuff up plus the lack of tall timber are big problems.

Certainly Malthouse, who was then given absolute backing to go after “his” players.

When it gets desperate enough, to hell with worldwide privacy!

Yes of course you would, you can sell that one for more.

A win against us with so many out would have raised more questions than it would answer, to be honest you're right, because this will now mean you have a benchmark to hit in order to win. For us, that benchmark was Brisbane as our squad matured and then West Coast. When we lost that comeback...

... insofar as that I think he is now the player who you just grant five goals five to and hope that he doesn't kick 10. Honestly, he is that good, that I don't think anyone can stop him. As long as he pushes up the ground, not even Scarlett could do that. If he only gets four... you've had a...

Please don't judge us by this f***er, besides which I wouldn't be surprised if he was another team's supporter in drag, they seem to crop up everywhere these days (Geelong_crazy26 etc etc). The reason you guys have to be optimistic is simple - that most of your team is not playing at the peak...
