Re: Alistair Clarkson
Perhaps he could've said like you've quoted without naming Essendon, but then his point would hardly have been as valid. Anyway the little hissy fits that some posters are chucking in here are just embarassing.
You so blinded by your hatred of Hawthorn and Clarkson that you're totally underestimating the fact that Clarkson is great mates with Damien Hardwick and would've no doubt heard from him about just what it was like at that time of Hardwicks career and the others who were traded or stayed at Windy Hill and lost their teammates.Exactly. On the footage you could see the smirk on his face; he was clearly saying "we won't ruin our club's culture, unlike that other mob across town".
No need for it. He could've just said "history shows that offloading a few premiership players isn't good for continued success". No need to mention us specifically, whilst questioning our club's culture.
