Bloody hell Junk Riewoldt, you had to break your media silence to tell us the reason you're shit is because you failed at copying another side's game plan?

"We probably need to rely a little bit more on natural progression, which I think we'll get back to, actually I know we'll get back to.

"You try new things and unfortunately you learn from your mistakes. We've learned from it as a playing group, as a coaching group and as a football club as a whole."

LOL you flog. Was this one of the "new things" you were trying out:

Why copy a fading team with ageing injury-prone players and soft depth?

I understand gooey. I haven't created it to goo over your side, merely to point out what a flog Junk Riewoldt is.
I can hold myself back as I have great control over my reproductive organs, but I can't promise my fwiends have such command of their phyiscal attributes, they may be here soon :(:(:(:(

If they were copying the Hawfs properly they would have
  • Let Riewoldt go to their biggest rivals
  • Let a few other players go to their biggest rivals
  • Recruited a 31 year old full back
  • Kept all their old players on the list for a year too long
  • Relocated to Tassie
  • Got an injunction
  • Directed their marketing team to target the gay community
  • Been geelongs bitches for years (they got that part right)

Recruited a 135kg fatman to rip the cats apart in a GF and then spank the handbaggers again, yes again just a few year later coming back from 3 goals down with 12 mins to go in a prelim. Say what!

Can't blame the tuggers for trying

The question is, who told Jack the gameplan wasn't "kick ball to Jack. Jack kick goal"?
Obviously they've confused guys like Vickery, Riewoldt and Dustbin by introducing complicated concepts like a "gameplan".
Poor Shaun Hampson's so distracted trying to work out what he's supposed to be doing that he's forgotten how to take a mark.

Hardwick has been trying to copy Clarkson for years.

Our 2013 gameplan had been a work in progress and the beauty of it - which is also the beauty of Clarko - is that it can't be replicated by every side because you to need have recruited players with precise kicking skills.

Naturally, the up and coming sides want to emulate the premiers. Sides like Geelong, Freo, Sydney who are thereabouts already tend to tinker with their own systems.

What should keep us ahead of the pack is whilst the lesser clubs are trying to simulate what Hawthorn does, Clarkson is already developing the next evolution that will secure us another flag.

People can bang on all they like about Hinkley, Lyon, Roos or Malthouse, but Clarko is clearly the best coach in the AFL and when he's finished will sit comfortably amongst the best of all time.
