Alistair Clarkson's Legacy

[craffles]

Hi Bay,

Most of us here can impartially acknowledge the phenomenal coaching career to date of all round good bloke Alistair Clarkson.

Clarkson has been able to continuously reinvent Hawthorn's game plan to stay one step ahead of the competition. He has used bold list management strategies to keep Hawthorn at the top and deliver the club a monumental 4 premierships in the last 8 year's including the incredible 3 peat.




Pictured: Good Bloke Clarkson lifts the Hawks 3rd premiership cup in a row up with fellow Good Bloke and Lite N Easy Ambassador, Luke Hodge.



Putting all of this aside for a moment, I am deeply concerned that some recent events will tarnish his impeccable record. Last night Alistair was involved in a T20 cricket match against North Melbourne in Tasmania. Tasked with bowling the last over to defend the Hawks first innings total, Clarkson was absolutely hammered by Peter Siddle, going for 20 runs off 5 balls and subsequently losing Hawthorn the match.

So Bay Folk, how do you think single handedly causing this embarassing loss to North in this prestigious t20 cricket match will impact All Round Good Bloke Clarkson's legacy?

What did the OP do which is constructive last night btw?

Siddle may want to consider batting permanantly because his bowling not too flash against bunnies either.

so north with two ex professional cricketers only just beat hawthorn with one

North > Hawthorn
Clarkson's reputation = Ruined

Im shocked he didn't grab a stump and start swinging with anger, an insider tells me the changing room walls are absolutely trashed though.

As usual Hawthorn getting shafted by the umpires in Tassie

Ricky Ponting was technically out first ball to a stunning catch on the boundary line - until umpire and fellow Tasmanian Tim Paine made a late no-ball call. The resulting free hit was also spectacularly caught. And Ponting himself later admitted there "may have been a glove" on a tickle down the leg side from his fourth ball that was well held, only for Umpire Bailey to call a wide.

He may have had to if firtito was doing his stuff

Difference between north and Hawks on team channels aggression into achievement

But only an Essendon supporter would troll a charity event

Clarko would need to bowl a bouncer just to get the ball waist high.

Being in B4 or even Bafter could be seen as a major tactical blunder.

I can't decide whether the obsessive Hawf bandwagoners defence against every and all troll, wherever or whatever it may be, is simply sickening or actually pathetic.

As usual, the fish have swarmed to the bait.

 

[Lethality]

Another example of the lame ass gAyFL trying to associate itself with relevant sports. The fear from Gil is palpable.

Fk. That would have been a much better OP.

 

[MAXIMUM GRUNDAGE]

Should have let Isaac Smith bowl the final over. He's very reliable in these close finishes.

Clarko should have bowled underarm.
