Even Clarkson's gloss is wearing off, he's lost the guidance of a lot of strong individuals and it appears he's running off the rails. His fate will be very interesting in the coming months and years, the likes of Dunstall and Brereton influence a powerful coterie that is very unforgiving!
At the moment I think Clarkson's old school ways sit quite nicely with the Dunstalls and Breretons of this world, but I am not sure the next generations of recruits will be so easily dominated.
How much of Clarkson's superb player development came form the Tassie teachers, Bolton and Fagan? Perhaps Clarkson's lasting legacy will be that he identified Tassie as an underutilised AFL resource!
