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.
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...
