Weren't you actually once a massive fan of Mathew Knights in saying that he was still way better than the wingnut they replaced him with!Not on my A list.
Only really pay attention to those coaches.

Haha good memory.Weren't you actually once a massive fan of Mathew Knights in saying that he was still way better than the wingnut they replaced him with!
Have you got kids ?lol at you trying to defend it.. absolutely terrible behaviour from someone that should be 100 times above that.
In saying that the man is obviously a coaching genius within the AFL, easily the best I've seen in my time watching the game.
those were two different type bumps that is why the different reactions if lloyd did the same as buds one i would have had no problem with it but he did not at all do that , i have defended other team players when they have suspended or wanted to do so for a bump that was similar to the buddy oneIan Aitken was no plodder either. He won the rookie of the year award in 1987 and played in a premiership and I'd argue that Clarkson's dog act ruined him as a player as he never reproduced his 1987 form again and was on the scrapheap only a few years later.
The thing that annoys me most about Clarkson/Hawthorn supporters is their hypocrisy in these matters. I remember back in 2009 when Buddy Franklin cleaned up Ben Cousins when he was at Richmond and got suspended for the final H/A game against Essendon, Clarkson and the Hawthorn supporters were whining about the bump being taken out of the game and the game becoming soft etc yet the very next week Matthew Lloyd ran through Brad Sewell and we had Hawthorn fans wanting to lynch him and Clarkson mouthing off at Lloyd (with plenty of support staff separating them of course) and dickheads like Campbell Brown making threats of payback on radio blah blah. What happened to their embracing of the bump and "unsociable football" that day? Of course when it's them dishing it out it's all great.
Clarkson is the best coach in the business hands down, and Hawthorn are a tremendous football side but being that doesn't make them beyond reproach either.
I don't know what either were thinking or motivated by when they delivered their respective bumps and neither do you. They both made split second decisions. In both cases the ball was in the immediate vicinity, both players chose to bump when they both didn't have to and both Sewell and Cousins were knocked out and suffered concussion from the respective incidents. Take a look at either of them and tell me they're that much different as actual bumps
Hawthorn people overreacted because it was Lloyd and he and Essendon had/have an intense rivalry with you plus the Bombers rolled you that game and cost you a finals spot and you lot and your coach had a dummy spit. Franklins suspension was justified (he looked to lift an arm too which Lloyd didn't do) as was Lloyds but the fact Hawthorn supports bitched and whined about Buddy getting banned one week before bitching and whining about Lloyd doing something not too dissimilar leaves you open to allegations of hypocrisy imo.
never stopped players squaring up before if they thought a dirty act had happened whether play on was happening or not a fight will happen if they think a dirty act has occurred, seen it many a timeWell the ball was still in play after the Buddy hit so the players had to focus on that.
Or maybe Hawthorn are just bigger sooks when it comes to receiving what they're happy to dish out.
4 time*Barassi, Mathews, Parkin and Malthouse all won premierships with different clubs which make them better coaches than Clarkson. Not forgetting Jock McHale with 8 and Norm Smith with 6 have more than Clarkson.
The Brisbane 3peat team would s**t on the current Hawks team IMO.
Having said that Clarkson has used the system brilliantly and built a bottom team into a 3 time GF winning team.

Got to love these ongoing melts from Carlton supporters.

One would think they, of all people, should recoginse a "bottom team" when they see one.
Takes one to know one
Ok then...
So Ross Lyon jumping off a sinking St Kilda ship and winning a flag for a ready built Freo side would make him a better coach than had he rebuilt the Saints to win a flag?
What has this got to do with Carlton. Thread is about Clarkson and his standing as a coach which I have said he is very good. I don't believe he's at an all time great status as with the coaches I have mentioned. That could change in time.Do you remember
"Somethings cooking"
And then there was this pearler
"No passengers"

You're a precious mob you hawkers. Getting very defensive when you think one of your own is being attacked.
Maybe it was the remark that your current team would get shat on by Brisbane's 3peat time which it would.
Neednt worry though
This Hawthorn side would belt the living suitcases out of great teams from the past...like the 1995 Carlton side (the Blues greatest ever)
Hence the melty Carlton fans
Just watch any game from thenComparing great teams from different eras is so subjective. Now assuming you're not trolling here you're comparing a team that lost 6 times in the home and away season and finished 3rd on the ladder and losing in week 1 of the finals to a team that had 2 losses all year finishing on top of the ladder by a country mile and winning the GF by 10 goals.
Surely you're trolling

Malthouse was sacked or eased out 4 times, not sure that is a positive for his record.What has this got to do with Carlton.

Also took Malthouse 70 years to win a few flags as a coach. What's Clarkson at now? 11 seasons for 4 Premierships.
As far as Matthews as great a player/coach as he was he was handed that AFL built list the lions had. His predecessors at the Lions don't get any credit and they deserve a lot.
Not nearly the same as building and tweaking a list like Clarkson has done.
No, it doesn't. It just means they were given the arse from one club and moved to another.Barassi, Mathews, Parkin and Malthouse all won premierships with different clubs which make them better coaches than Clarkson.
Clarkson took over the 15th placed side in 2004 (4 wins, 18 losses) and using rejects, trades and late draft picks, he built a premiership team in just 4 seasons. People always focused on the early draft picks - Roughead (2), Franklin (5), Ellis (3), Dowler (6) - but the guts of the team was comprised of journeymen such as Sewell, Bateman, Guerra, Campbell, Osborne, Young, Gilham, Dew, Williams, Boyle, McGlynn, Taylor, Renouf. They all came off the rookie list, or were late draft picks, or rejects from other clubs…Not forgetting Jock McHale with 8 and Norm Smith with 6 have more than Clarkson.
