We are losing these games because as a team, we are 2 or 3 years behind these teams, in terms of development.

Clarko can scream all he wants. But it's not going to change the fact that GWS and Carlton (both 24 Prelim finalists), are just harder fitter and more experienced. FREO won a final the year before, with Fyfe, Bradshaw, Serong Young...

So Clarko can get angry all he wants at Sheez, Wardlaw, Mckercher, Powell. But unless he has a magic wand and can add 3 years of muscle. development and 60 games of experience, it will mean nothing.

So he knows this and the importance of supporting his team. Being positive.

FFS,what do you expect him to do ?

Who said anything about our kids? He needs to call out our senior players. Besides Larkey they have been putrid.

We are not just a bad team atm, we are pathetic. Get angry Clarko.

I wonder if Clarko had people at Hawthorn to tell him when it was appropriate to get angry with the players.

Clarko at this point feels more like a teacher and he knows his cattle are younger.

Give it 18 months. If we aren’t performing then I’m expecting holes in the coaches box at Telstra dome

Or someone else in his spot if there isn’t any significant change or results

Our team is full of kids mate.
Last year, we lost Goldy, Ziebs, Ben C, Hall and McKay and Turner.
Well over 1000 game of experience.

And you expect the team, to adapt to that massive loss of experience in just 3 games.

Seriously, are you being serious? Because you sound like you have NFI.

I’m pretty sure Clarko has a good understanding of the group and doesn’t need anyone to tell him when to get ‘angry’ at the players. He’s not a puppet.

This is basically his first year given last year’s absolute debacle.

I thought Bailey Scott summed it up perfectly after Friday’s game. Players deviated from their roles and they’ve got to learn to mentally carry out their roles for the full 4 qtrs. Even the best sides have lapses. Clarko will hold them accountable behind closed doors and personally I think that’s the best way.

Wait till you see what they post during the week on Instagram.

Now I know players have lives, and are allowed to unwind etc, but some of the stuff you see seems like players don’t care either way

It’s concerning stuff.

I’ve seen pics of players cooking food, playing golf, pics with partners and mates, sitting at cafes/restaurants.

I even saw one of Stephenson drawing pictures and colouring in, it’s outrageous behaviour.

Indeed, the only appropriate response to a loss that is acceptable is literal self-flagellation.

Not so long ago, we couldn't get decent applicants to put their hand up for our head coaching job. If we were to sack Clarko, we'd have to replace him with the bootstudder. No-one else would come near us.
 
Somehow watched about 3 minutes of Footy Classified?? last night. The one with Caro, Hutchy, Cornes and whoever the puppet is on the end ... what a nasty bunch of c@nts they are, wow.

They were into the Bears over something about Lee Matthews not being told, something about that skinny fella up there, has soft flicky hair, skinny as, plays forward .... just struck me as really nasty people, vile.

The 3 mins went for 7 miserable minutes

It’s on YouTube right now

Arguing whether gossip is football news

What have we become?

more fool you for watching, hope you were not teaching your best little mate bad habits watching that drivel?

Nah, he'd gonked out after we watched a Mythbusters program. I haven't watched that show in donkeys, and was actually just going around the grounds .... definitely cops a permanent swerve now.
