I suspect Clarkson doesn't give a fat rat's clacker about our long term prospects and will simply be focused on winning on the day. He and his players will perhaps be expecting a more physical game from us but they won't be changing the way they go about their footy.
Which is exactly why its full of hubris.
He thinks he is too good to have to knock off his proteges and accordingly will stick to what he does, till everyone out Hawthorns Hawthorn.

Without knowing the intricate details I put Bolton in a different category to the others. Bolton was the 2IC, the Lieutenant, the others were foot-soldiers who busied themselves learning from the General.

That's overstating Bolton's role LP. He was coach of Box Hill Hawks, then forward line coach. The only difference is that he stood in for Clarkson when he was ill.

I think the only thing that stopped Bolton being courted earlier was the past players AFL Boys Club. But there have been so many AFL Boys Club failures recently they are now a bit on the nose!
PS; Video up on the club website now, in Emily Angwin's video, really shows the level of Laidler's staging for a free, either that or he has the reflexes of a slug! Two views, one angle shows the double motion from Laidler, the other shows Daisy's elbow is past Laidler's jaw near Laidler's right shoulder/collar bone.

That's exactly how I saw the Laidler 'dive/pose for a free'. Seems Walks let him have it too. You'd think that all opponents of the Swans will be niggling Laidler over his acting. And so they should. Pr1ck.

Wishful thinking guys; the elbow clocks Laidler just below the point of the jaw and a blow like that is almost guaranteed to sit the victim on his butt.
We'd have had biomechanical experts all over it if there was the slightest chance that Thomas didn't hit Laidler's jaw.

I saw Daisy elbow Laidler in the jaw at the game, on the big screen, on the replay, in the news coverage and just watched the same footage again in the Blues News segment - and no, it wasn't new footage as you intimated, just the same two camera angles that we've all seen ad nauseum.
Had your eyes checked lately?
Believe me, if there was the slightest chance that Thomas missed Laidler's chin and struck him in the chest, I'd be jumping up and down with everybody else. He did it and he copped a week. Move on!

Didn't touch him on the chin, Laidler dived.
