Rd 22: Post Game Peace? Carlton vs Hawthorn

[cookie2]

Not the place for this enquiry but what the hell.  Does anyone know who the very, very short person was who walked around the ground with the 87 premiership group?

Fraser Murphy (169 cms)?

Or was it a leprechaun?  :o

Had Alistair Clarkson already started chasing Ian Aitken?

I was there too and with some Hawks supporters and they, along with Clarkson, were laughing in our faces at Fev not getting that milestone. What poor sports.

As has been said, Clarkson dropped 7!!! Players back on to Fev to ensure he didn't get his 100. It had nothing to do with them not wanting the crowd to rush the ground at all, Clarkson is just a ****.  Had he played fair Fev would've gotten his 100 And there could've been a double celebration and the game would be talked about now still for fair sportsmanship and two of the big time forwards getting their 100 at the same time. Instead Clarksons bloody attitude of screw everyone and don't care who you trample on to get what you want mean the game is really only remembered by both supporters for buddy and by Carlton supporters as showing that Clarkson was a ruthless small small Man.

Clarkson is a bad sport and just a **** of a guy. End of discussion.

It was a long time ago but I recall a Hawthorn player saying they did it off their own bat because Fev was so rampant that they thought Buddy's Coleman was in jeopardy.

Yeah right.

AFL clubs always let young players entering a finals series to implement an off the cuff re-organisation of the game plan the week before the finals! :

Makes more sense than suggesting they got their rocks off Fev not getting a ton.

That's bulldust.  Buddy kicked his hundreth in the third, whorks were up by maybe a hundred in the last, with four blokes hanging off Fev plus the entire side packed into defence.

Yep, must have been downright terrified of Fev breaking Fred Fanning's record in the last and us getting within 6 goals....

He beat Fev by 3 goals in the end, he had numerous chances to get those 3 goals if he didn't have 4 guys on him.

Yes, it was quite obvious that it was a co-ordinated campaign to stop Fev getting his hundred.  Players don't do that off their own bat.  In fact, they wouldn't have given a fat rat's clacker about how many goals Fev kicked, as long as they won and that wasn't in doubt.  It was Clarkson at his unsociable best trying to get a psychological advantage.

Didn't Fev get 6 or 7 on the night!

Why would they give a crap about Fev gettig 100 goals? The only people who did were Fev and Carlton fans.
