'That's how Carlton play, when they win it's 12 goals to 10', he also said our tactics on Sicily would be a good learning for his team and was happy it for it to happen in a dead rubber, well last time I checked Clarko you were still talking finals before we pulled your pants down tonight...sucked in you sniper.
Perhaps apart from the dead rubber comment, I think his presser was pretty spot on and IMO, he told it like it is.

Boekhorst is Bower and Lucas combined! Anyone who thought he meant to do that pirouette last week is kidding themselves and probably wanted us to draft Lucas back in the day also. He fell into it by freaking out and trying to trip himself over going around 360 every which way. Bolts is just having a good look at him but unfortunately average athlete and worse footballer.
Charlie and Pickett! Have to somehow keep a lid on Charlie he is slowly becoming the new young Buddy and the media are drooling over him every match. Some of SPS's kicks in traffic again were amazing.
Most impressive part was when we lost control and the Hawks came back but we steadied and regained control of the game. Super chuffed with the game some of the shining lights late in the season.

Earned another season IMO and has played a very good second half of the season...
Jed Lamb has probably saved his career by becoming the agent provocateur down forward and should get another contract too...
Thomas seems to be full of confidence and more than happy to dip into his bag of tricks. On several occasions last night he left his opponents flat-footed while he got clear and used the ball well. I'm not sure that we'll see huge possession games from Daisy but he is doing more than enough to keep his spot.
I enjoyed Lamb's game; he shut down one of the Hawks' drivers and hit the scoreboard while showing just a little mongrel.
It's interesting that, while Sicily likes to dish out a bit of treatment, he didn't deal at all well with being on the receiving end.

Liam Jones 1% watch
16 last night...next best on the ground was Byrne with 7
Jones is averaging 10.6 a game and sits second on the league averages (behind Dougal Howard, from Port, who has only played the two games this season for an average of 11 (13 and 9))

Which in terms of a decent, meaningful sample space, really means Jones is 1st. Very good effort from Giant Slayer Jones.
Thanks for that lods.

Not quite... he left out "I got outcoached by my old assistant".

Was he though ? I'm not learned enough to answer, but my guess is that a coach with a record like Clarkson can see us coming a mile off. I don't think he had an off night. I just think the team is too young / inexperienced to carry out his instruction for 4 q. They had quite a few young blokes as well.

Whatever slant you put on it, the emissary defeated his master. O:-)

Clarkson was/is annoyed by our playing seven down back and only five forwards and tried three of his blokes off the back of the square to try and make the game different but it never worked as they never really had control in the middle.
As he said the game got played on our terms and he didnt have the equipment to change that....Hawks are probably a class mid or two short........word from a few Hawk supporters last night was that dont count them out for Kelly/Hopper/Lever etc and something big is happening recruiting wise at the Hawks and they be offloading a few players to get their man/men...

I thought Sicily was one of our best players and got us a few goals.
The look on his face after he was moved forward tells that he's going to get a lot of that niggling treatment from now on.
