Nah this is what this tool does at junior footy  :

Cmon man, pull your head out there already.

Were you at the game? If you were you would've realised that despite Fev being double/triple teamed most weeks, this was something completely different.

Yes, it's not something I had ever seen before or since.  I remember seeing footage of Clarkson laughing when one of the three blokes on Fev intercepted a pass.

Do you know how pathetic you all sound? Complaining about the opposition defending too well against us. Boo hoo! Big bad Clarko was at it again tonight not letting Bob win his last game.

Perhaps ... but defending Clarko should get you banned

Whats even better, he wiped that smug grin off that ass hole Beveridge's face by knocking them out of finals contention.

I'm not complaining about the opposition defending too well against us.

I'm complaining about the fact you said that that was no different to any other game and there was no deliberate tactic to stop fev getting 100. That is all complete bollocks.

Clarko isn't going to win any "best guy in town" awards any time soon and '87 and the game in question are too classic examples as to why.

That game would've gone down in history as the only game 2 players have reached 100 goals together. Now it has an '*' on it courtesy of Clarko and his tactics. Nothing against the rules, but if it was cricket it would be against the spirit of the game.

I kind of remember us doing something similar to McKenna when he was going for his hundredth one year...he still got the goal. :

Agree. Clarkson didn't bother loading up on Fev for most of the second half, despite kicking 7.3 in the end. He only loaded up when Fev got close to the ton.

If the game was in the balance, with only a couple of points in it in the dying stages of the last, with 4 points to play for, I suspect he would not have been so Fev-centric.

Is one of the objectives of a coach to deny "spiritual nourishment" to opposition teams whilst at the same time providing it to his own?

[Thryleon]

We can all complain about it, but this is what ruthless looks like.

This is why he has coached a team to 4 flags.

He won't allow the opposition any victory big or small.

This does make him a hypocritical person, but that's insignificant and hardly any will remember this in the long run.

Mathews was probably no different.

No one cares anymore.

Barrassi was probably the same.

You get the idea.
