Clarkson the pathetic sore deflecting loser

Way to lose with grace, you pathetic midget!
Even if you're right, you're wrong in this instance. You were 28 points up, confident, against a team crippled by injury with no momentum and your pack of sniping frontrunners choked like a gay pornstar.
Stop deflecting and coming up with excuses. Oh, it's injuries, oh, it's the umpires, oh the stars weren't aligned!
STFU and enjoy your early September holiday, ya sniping dwarf!

What did Clarkson say that wasn't right. Maybe instead of looking at it as a go at your club take it as our teams coach speaking to the members and the entire Hawthorn family.

Bollocks. Poor form and bad sportsmanship. But that was how he played and now it's how he coaches.
All Key forwards get "monstered" and scragged. Get over it. We do.

Witsend, I clicked on your provided link and I noted one of those new TAC anti-drug ad's.

Naturally I immediately thought of you mate.

He said his opinion of how he viewed the game, not just praising the opposition like other coaches. I would rather bad sportsmanship over eating a sandwich in the coaches box.

 

[Lurkalot]

What kind of sandwich???

C'mon Lurka...you know I'm a bourbon man!

I believe it was Hawk and soft lettuce.

Is it bogan (sorry I mean bourbon) & coke that's your mixer.

The midget wouldn't get a gig at Windy Hill.

Agreed. Wouldn't know what to do with a no-hoper team like essendon. Fletch, LLoyd, Lucas gone with no real back up. If i went for essendon (god forbid) I wouldn't know who would be my favorite player.

 

[Tish]

I did not read past the first paragraph.

Fev is probably the worst treated forward in the league. Yet the player of our club don't cry, or the coach. WE just try to win enough games to play finals.

Clarkson was a dog of a player, so why would umps like him?

 

[trossa]

Clarkson is getting close to Wallet with all the excuses and spinning

 

[And_ROOS]

Yup, watching Franklin repeatedly ragdoll Mackie is a perfect example of how he was being monstered all day, great call Clarko

And i suppose next he will come out and join in the "Selwood gets soft frees" bandwagon.

 

[Patronus]

What is pathetic is Clarkson complaining about Franklin being manhandled by a player who is 17kg lighter than him.

It says more about Franklin than Mackie.

Just from the same game Mooney does not get frees he deserves but Geelong don't bring it up in the press conference.

I think Clarko was referring to the 'non free kick' when Franklin has Mackie land on his back.

Whether he's 17kg lighter or not, it was in the back and it wasn't paid.

If roles were reversed, it would have been. Franklin does get a shit deal with the umpires.

That said, we should've won anyway.

 

[Ricketts]

Clarko is only seeing the things he wants to see.

It was strange, it was like the AFL had directed the umpires to give Hawthorn a good run this week, because maybe they felt the competition would lose credibility if the reigning premier missed the finals.

No mention of any of this from Clarko?

In the first half anyway. Second half wasn't bad, but it didn't matter in the end as the superior talent got the 4 points.

You are so right Ricketts, Top post

 

[Off The Couch]

Interesting

Geelong supporters believe they got a rough trot in the first half and hawk supporters believe they got a rough trot in the second half - but we are the whingers.

You guys would have been bitching up a storm about that if you had in the end lost.

The umpiring especially by chamberlain was shit yesterday, but that is not the reason the hawks lost.

IMO Clarkos outburst yesterday is a culmination of franklins treatment at the hands of the umpires since he started playing the game, similar to the cats whinge session in regards to the treatment ablett received from crowley and other taggers.

Very selective memory recall cat supporters have

I fully expect biased interpretation from fans of both sides. What is "disappointing" is Clarkson sooking at a press conference immediately after a 1 point loss. Don't you think had Bomber done the same Hawks fans would have been rubbishing him from pillar to post? Maybe Clarko needs to focus on why Franklin would scream at a young player running into a goal opportunity for a handball receive in the dying minutes when he should have been trying to block for his team-mate or at least encouraging him to have a shot?
Or why Franklin continually gives away undisciplined free kicks when he senses he is out of a contest?

 

[Alpha1]

Do we really expect anything less from the Tasman? I mean after all, they are always full of excuse, Hodge is injured, the umpires cheated the list goes on.

If I had 5 bucks for every free kick that didn't go our way in that second quarter, or for all those holding the balls that the umpires ignored, I'd be a rich man. In the end the umpires were consistently shithouse all day, screwing both teams at stages of the game.

It's very poor form to bring it up right at the end of the game as if he's suggesting it's how they won.

 

[The Truth]

You call $15-$20 rich? I suppose for a Cats fan it is.
If Hawks fans got $5 for the same they'd have $150+ from yesterday's match. What was the free kick count in that last qtr?

 

[Baz_hawk]

Cats fans, suggest you watch all of Hawthorns games this year and even last year for that matter. Franklin is consistantly double teamed and often is held or pushed out of a contest and yet if he uses his body to get in the right position, he is penalised.

But to the real issue. Geelong are vulnerable and St Kilda will tear them a new whole come September unless they improve and fast. Spuds like Mooney and Varcoe ain't gonna win you a flag.

And The truth, i believe it was 7-1

Which has what to do with his treatment today? He was neither double teamed nor held or pushed out of a contest. He was one on one with the skinniest rebounding defender in the league.
