Is he an all time great coach then? If he can't rebuild his own list?

He built the dynasty from 2005, he’s already done it.

No



There will always be question marks over it for me.

Had the insane never to be repeated pick 1 priority picks afforded to them twice including delivering them generational stars and some of the most favourable umpiring draws and a raft of other leg ups from afl house.

If he can’t build a list without those he has to be judged on that. He doesn’t even look willing to try.

'Build' off the backs of blatant tanking and making the full use of priority picks

 

[Troopsy]

Did Burgoyne give away a 50 there? Missed what happened

 

[philthy05]

Try to convince me any club in the afl can’t turn Roughead, Franklin, the sympathetic ear of the head of the league and the worst umpiring disparity the league has ever seen (unsociable football lol) into success.

At the height of their powers Cornes couldn’t tap Mitchell without getting a game but hodge and Lewis were allowed stuff that wouldn’t be okay in a mma match.

That their cheating got called “unsociable football” to try to pass it off as anything other than a team that was allowed to play to a different rulebook showed how the afl is a Mickey Mouse competition and is a blight on this game.


Absolutely if clarko can’t rebuild this team I will mark down his success.

Worst umpiring disparity?

Surely nothing compared to Wet Toast or Bullflogs.

Woweee

I hope Clarko leaves Hawthorn in a wasteland like Ross Lyon left St Kilda in.

The 2001 1st Pick Priority was actually Fremantle's pick that they traded to Hawthorn for Trent Croad and Luke McPharlin.

They lost a prelim that year.

My bad, didn't realise they had another lot of the Franklin Roughead gains.

They did kind of blow the second draft with Xavier Ellis and Beau Dowler when they could've had Pendlebury, Josh Kennedy or Paddy Ryder.

If Freo win on Monday then Hawthorn will be 16th

West coast have a disparity in free kick differential


Hawthorn had a disparity in that they were allowed to bend the rules, influence the rules, or in some cases make up entirely new ones.

The franklin “natural arc” anyone?

A rule blinked into existence because it suited hawthorn.

Not to mention the way Clarkson cherry picked Port off-field staff... that one gets well and truly glossed over.

They were awarded a start of first round priority pick twice.

I’m not counting picks traded in.

EAD Hawks, you deserve it.

A bottom 3 for every Port fan to savour:

Hawthorn
North
Adelaide

Yeah, see my edit. I forgot had a second lot after Franklin/Roughead.

They won 9 games over those two seasons. Our period from 11-12 was worse, and we couldn't even end up with a top 5 pick because of the allowances given to Gold Coast and GWS.

 

[Forzaport]

Andrew Russell leaves Hawthorn for Carlton and it shows.

 

[Steve Dore]

So which rule is Clarko going to ask Gilligan to change now? The one that says that the team with the highest score at full time wins?

Nope, that was rebuilding someone else's list that was already at the bottom.

Could use a bit of Collingwood.

It could only be improved by having Collingwood down there as well!
