They're a bunch of has -beens.
The battle hardened types were the fringe players in their golden years....
We f..ed it up, again. And BB is at the centre of that.
Finals, then 4 in a row!

I don't agree. They are not what they were, but has beens is incorrect and completely insulting.

Gutted. If we were ever to beat this mob it was today, but no, we're they're bitch.....again.
Both the coach and a swag of players had awful second halves and both should be held accountable.
It's unfair to single out a solitary player, but today was custom made for some on field leadership, and Marc Murphy, you went MIA today. And it isn't the first time.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

@ Shawny
Clarkson said afterwards he didn't really have to question his players, they questioned themselves and responded. Thats experienced, mature heads coming to the fore in the second half. I dont think he made many moves per se`, half a dozen senior players who were in the dressing rooms in the first half, ran out in the second and lifted to levels we all know Hawthorn normally play at. Yes we made them look second rate in the first half, but we were irresistible for the first 60mins. That was a glimpse into the future. When we do that for 4 qtrs, we will take some beating by anyone.

At 4 from 38, 1-5, any coach would deserve the sack. You know that too.

Yep, player driven turnaround by their premiership senior players. And our senior players are...........

They played in a preliminary final last year.
They are waning but chock full of game winning ability but wont do it for 4 quarters anymore.
Hence why we got an early run on.
Conspiracy theory, kreuzer broke down in the second quarter. Battled on for a quarter and then went off at the start of the 4th.
It explains everything.
For everyone saying Simpson is shot have a look at the sheer panic in our defense after he went off. You cannot bottle leadership and you cannot replace it easily. Sometimes player provide intangible benefits.

I thought Murph, along with his team mates was very good in the first half. Ran, carried and delivered nicely into the forward line. Hell I also saw him niggle Crippas man to try and unsettle him. But like many of his team mates in the second half, fell away dreadfully and made terrible decisions and disposal was way below the required standard.
