Play Nice The 'all things Carlton' mega-thread

[philohk]

Yeah, Clarko's shit.

 

[Headless]

Can we just enjoy the Dogs' win instead of making the rest of the year as painful as it would have been to see Hawthorn go B2B2B2B?

 

[Randomizor]

He left before the finals series last year

Well after he'd laid the groundwork during the rest of the year. You don't forget your training in just 3 weeks.

 

[Randomizor]

Yeah, Clarko's shit.

Don't tell him that. Might punch a wall.

You can't say you didn't notice a tactical shift in the way the Hawks played after Bolton was hired.

"Snipe players and rush behinds" isn't the gameplan I associated with a "genius" coach.

Lol this is one of the dumber threads you will read.

Is it impossible that the assistant coach had the bigger influence? Look at Thompson at Essendon for example.

The best part is that we're eliminated and he's the one melting

Bolton spent time as both the midfield and forward coach. Hawthorn's two strongest areas over the last few years. He leaves and they suddenly struggle to reach 100 points in games.

Their best forward getting cancer didn't help

If only Napoleon didn't enter Russia in 1812..

Their best forward left in 2014 and it didn't affect them...

 

[Blue1980]

The overall team getting older and not as good as previous years had as much to do with it than anything else.

 

[Supercoach Bargain]

Credit for coaching Carlton? Should be a capital offence, but he did not shoot the deputy...

 

[Elixuh]

He left before the finals series last year

/End thread. Premise of OP destroyed.

 

[JC Hawks]

A lot of shit threads tonight.

 

[RainMachine]

nah, Hawthorn have persevered well but i think they're finally feeling the effect of dimma's departure

 

[Randomizor]

2008 premiership with Dimma there, then they were relatively average after he left, until Bolton was hired. I think we are onto something.

 

[Topkent]

Straight sets as soon as he leaves. A no-loss record in his games coached at the club. It's becoming increasingly obvious how much Clarko is missing his guidance. When do Hawks fans start praising the real genius behind their premiership years?

Dumb thread

 

[hk89]

Because our second best forward was Roughy. You can only lose so many of your best forwards before your best forward is shit (not there yet).

 

[Lemma]

Franklin actually left in 2013

 

[Brain Power]

Haha, a Fremantle fan talking about premierships. Cute.

A lot of shit threads tonight.

winter is coming

 

[Leather Poisoning]

All year we've been told that the Hawks aren't worthy of top 4, umpires helped them win all these games etc.

But somehow, SOMEHOW, everyone is acting stunned and amazed that the Hawks lost a semi final.

Anyway - dogs were awesome last night - they deserve the credit if you want to talk about who should and shouldn't get it.

 

[gbatman]

I think he is well credited for being a valuable resource at Hawthorn. Got his reward with a senior coaching position.

 

[DrEvil_]

Well Chris Newman deserves all the blames then. Who would've thought getting a piece of Richmond was ever going to benefit?

Don't mention Port/Richardson...
