"104 tackles, and only 3 free kicks!" - Alistar Clarkson 2016 after straight setting.

[Theprofessional]

Wow why on earth are Hawthorn being so unloyal to those that have given them so much great service the last 8ish years? Why would they abandon them now- surely they keep them as long as they want after all the good times they've given them?

Clarko was telling it how it was as usual, the Doggies just chuck the ball away when tackled, it's an embarrassing blight on the game, the entire Footscray club should be fined for bringing the game into disrepute, the umpires sacked and Hawthorn members compensated by the AFL for fraudently taking money on the premise it would be a fairly adjudicated and administeted competition based on a set of rules. Rules that are apparently ignored or subject to interpretation depending on who is playing, what qtr it is, if it is a final, ladder position etc...complete farce.

Hawthorn sook like no other interstate side I have ever seen.

I think we are going down which is why I've been teeing off non stop since last night in anticipation of the barrage after tonight.

Why can't someone just answer. Really good question for once?

It doesn't mean we should have won.

They just wouldn't pay a dropping the ball all night. Why? Have the rules changed na none of us got the memo?

Clarkson has melted and embarrassed himself and shown once again when things don't his was he Is a massive sook. I look forward to the melts next year when half your team wheels out on wheelchairs.

lol hawk tears are the best tears

They are like a really good takeaway Chinese. Great on the night but even better when cold and still salty for breakfast the next morning.

Did you not see him go into the Dogs room and hug Bevo?

Man you guys are full of shit.

Our game is changing in ways none of us understand and why. Yet all you can do is trot out a 6 year old insult that couldn't be further from the truth.

It's a travesty! Much like running down the the clock in a grand final by walking the ball through your own goals multiple times.

These types of abuse are utterly disgusting.

Having said that, when a tackle is applied by cream puffs like Hartung, Hill and Sicily, how can can you possibly expect them to be taken seriously?

What about when tackles are laid by Burgoyne, Mitchell and Rioli and the players drop the ball but no free kick.

Serious question ... Pretend Hawthorn won the spoon if it helps.

Do you like AFL better or worse for the fact most tackles that result in players dropping it now go unrewarded?

So the umps cost you ?
When your club has had an un healthy rub of the green in matches that dont matter, its best to just deal with the bad decisions too instead of question if the rules interpretation has changed on the night.

Look at us for example - shining light of the league 16 flags and no spoons. You cant be up all the time. So now you learn to be humble and accepting of the umps decisions.

Its time.

No what cost us was playing injured players.

But what Clarko said was a critical question to all AFL fans.

Do we want to basically start a pathway of removing the tackle that most can see the AFL is steering the game towards?

To be honest, I tend not to care about what a coach of a team who just lost a very important game has to say about rules, how they are interpreted or not. Considering his own team flaunt these same rules all year and dismissed others questioning it.

As I said, your mob have had a golden run of bs frees in most games and we never heard them questioned. In fact the bulldogs Milned us in free kicks this year too - it was like 17 to 2 at one stage 3/4 time so now you know why I said what I said.

Perspective mate. Be happy with your achievements as they are a mighty effort. You are better than this no ?

just saying

Chin up tiger

Thanks Wiggo always loved you on here.

I swear man there is no sour grapes though at all. We were cooked and that's it.

But I enter next year with Clarko's sentiment. Bevo was and has been the better coach all year. But teaching your players that tackling is irrelevant now, is that really where we want the game heading?

Agreed and appreciated. Your welcome to turn coat to the blues next year - there is no shame. Some peeps are saying no bolton no hawthorn...I dunno. But your welcome to follow the little big man next year and ride our rise. Tackling hasnt really been big lately you only have to look how they all chicken wing lock arm throw to know that.

Not quite sure how long youve followed the game or how intelligent you are,BUT.
The tackling issue has been alive for nearly 30 years.
AFL insiders realised that by eliminating tackles and hard bumps they could attract a bigger audience and certainly a bigger participant factor to the game.
Most people still dont get this fact and also dont relate to the non "tasmanian" team and the "why" western sydney.The game needs new customers to stay alive and allowing weak skinny non tackled good ball handlers to play was and is the new century.
Beating rugby for the weaker child is the No1 priority.
So suck it up buttercup.

Bro if I wanted to watch soccer I would ...

Can't stand the game ...

Go AFL you are such honourable custodians of our game ... Jobe Brownlow, posting #freekickhawthorn on your own website and Melbourne tanked but didn't really the more recent highlights ...

What are you talking about in the 2008 GF we conceded a point ALL game to setup and start our rebound.

They changed the rules because they didn't like it.

Last time I realised you couldn't drop the ball or did I miss the memo?

 

[Geelong Dynasty]

God I love Hawf tears, keep 'em coming.

We've been saying the game was ****ed for years but now all of a sudden Clarko and the Hawks are unhappy about it... Coincidence?

 

[Westy Bogan]

Clarko sounded like he was suggesting the Dogs were cheating.

No need to bring it up during his presser. Wait for the coaches meeting or contact the umpires coach.
