I am curious. Set your mind back to 2004. After all the coaches from the Bulldogs, Richmond and Hawthorn got the sack and before they recruited any coach. Who did you want to coach Hawthorn?
It can't be Clarkson, because he was bearly even known back then. It would have to be either Wallace or Eade (or possibly Gary Ayres).
If you wanted Wallace then it will explain why you would love to see fail because you envy the fact that he went to Richmond.
If you wanted Eade then you must have something personal against Wallace. If so, did you resent him while he was at the Bulldogs?
Either way. It is strange to have this unhealthy obsession with Wallace.
At that time I was extremely relieved to finally see Schwab go.
I had lived through so much pain seeing Knights, Judge and then Schwab dismantle my great club and turn it into something almost as bad as Richmond.
At the time to be honest I was more focused on the Chief. He was making all the right noises and I had a strange sense of confidence that the club was finally going to do the right thing.
I trusted the Chief and when he overlooked Wallet and Ayres I was happy. Then we he overlooked Eade as well, I began to be a little puzzled.
When they appointed Clarkson I did some homework and realised that he was highly regarded at Port Adelaide who had just won a flag.
When I saw that Hardwick, Pelchin and Russell followed him to the Hawks this gave me great confidence as they were the masterminds at the Power and wouldn't follow Clarkson unless they believed in him.
The reason I love ripping into your club is that I am very much into strategy. I live it at work and in life.
I admire the strategy the Hawthorn Football Club has taken and have been able to identify their plan very early on, with much excitement.
Being cognisant of this plan and watching it realise, is very rewarding.
What it does though is give you a much greater perspective on how ridiculous Wallet's modus has been and I have absolutely no doubt he will turn your club into dust within another 18 months or so.
This is why I give it to you. Because you guys will not open your eyes.
The minute you do you will be upset and rightly so, but at this point I won't have anything to criticise you about, I will feel sorry for you.
As I said I lived through a horror period at the Hawks and don't wish it on anyone.
What annoys me about you though is I knew the plan sucked at Hawthorn right through the horror of Knights, Judge and Schwab. I didn;t live in denial and didn't acknowledge it only after each of the sackings.
You guys need to wake up and smell Wallets crud, only then can I relate to you guys, instead of reading your meaningless and stupid responses on how the Tigers are doing well under Wallet.
