Just watched the clarkson presser to see the 3/103 comment lol.

Serious case of selective memory there given the ******* sweet ride they have gotten of the last few years hell even in the first half. I like he casually bought up that collingwoods fourpeat included 2 prelim losses even though no one asked but he just had to let it be known they are better, sorry clarko there is another team from a decade back that did the same thing you ********.

Geelong were also a better side.

Reckon Clarkson might just bust his nut in the next year or so, as he has to deal with the infuriating ignominy of getting not quite so much of the mysteriously smooth ride with the umpires, as well as you know, losing.
Reckon he might just blow his top and take an ill-advised swing at someone. When angry he looks like Beeker from the Muppets with a suntan...

I don't think busting nuts means what you think it does....

Possibly head to head yes. Except when it mattered lol.

Though that was completely different team
Not that, but Geelong beat better teams to win their GFs. Hawks were handed the prelim win in '14 vs Port by umpires; their reigns are weak in comparison to the eras of Brisbane and Geelong.

Clarkson is two things: an amazing, brilliant coach, and a complete and utter campaigner. Seriously he's one of those guys who abuses junior football umpires.

I have full respect for what he's achieved.
I still expect he's going to pull level with Norm Smith.

Yep two nice touches last night (congratulating beveridge after the game, and the comments about roughy) had me softening a little toward him, and then he just couldn't help but whinge about the umpiring ("only 3 holding the ball decisions?!") to remind me that he is still just a smug dwarf campaigner.

Fantastic coach, shit bloke.
A coaching verion of sam mitchell if you prefer.

Pies v Dogs is basically a genuine VFL reserves side v the best of the VAFA. Even though the pies have made a prelim I'm not sure you can take anything out of it if you're them, their relevant AFL listed players basically haven't fired a shot.

Seems like the dogs have correctly identified the new prototype AFL footballer, basically their entire list is a variation on 185cms, well balanced, can mark overhead, win contested ball, run like the clappers, make good decisions and execute.

They've basically got 10 Mason Redman's.

Got to say that I am happy for Sydney to put Adelaide to the sword (if that's what happens).

I've got no time for that slingshot, joe the goose bullshit.
