Clarko: No easy fix for Hawks

Clarko’s right that the draft can’t guarantee success but he does need to empower his players to take more risks particular moving the ball through the corridor and allowing them to make leads in F50 rather than hope for a crumb from the spillage from the long bomb in.

As for Kennett’s call on Clarko’s current contract being his last, well, there’s the door Jeffery – I suggest you take it, old mate.

If anyone thinks the Sam Mitchell succession plan needs to be fast tracked, I’d suggest you consider the form of our current crop of midfielders who are garbage ATM under Sam.

Clarko: No easy fix for Hawks

When did the temperature became a problem for organising a winter sport?

Snow in Canberra last year, yeah?

All I was suggesting was a second hub with direct flights between Qld and Tassie as required and if COVID crept north, you can bring ’em all down south .

AFL announces ten-week Queensland hub

C7 ran out of money to fund Talking Footy.

both are AFL standard which means lighting is no issue.

Not much difference between Hobart and Melbs.

On the other hand, Launceston…..brrr………

Yep, Tassie overlooked again it seems – really can’t see why a second hub for Vic teams couldn’t have been negotiated.

haha. Clarko’s call was correct (the umps had stopped calling HTB even when it was there) – the fact that the umps lost their minds in the following weeks and applied it inconsistently isn’t down to Clarko.

Disaster for Swans as Heeney ruled out for season

Expect the Swans to park the bus a lot more often in 2020 after that news.

new identities seem to be de rigeur it seems, but I’m stick with Birdman even though my surname is Italian for Falcon which is….yep….a small Hawk….not kidding 😁

AFL Power Rankings 2020: Round 6

Onya AD/LS.

AFL Power Rankings 2020: Round 6

Hard to tell Ben Brown and Tim O’Brien apart ATM – neither look like taking a contested mark – the difference is we’ve actually seen Brown do it consistently in the past…..

Selwood? Say no more.

A Selwood flop, or is Grant Birchall in strife for a gut punch?

Quaynor is a good in for the Pies while I’m also looking forward to seeing what Will Day and Josh Morris can bring to the table for the Hawks.

With 3 newbies selected over the last couple of weeks (Jones was pretty decent in last week’s loss to the Giants), I wonder if Clarko is sending a message to Hawks fans about 2020?

Hawks by 21.

Collingwood vs Hawthorn: Friday night forecast

Great point, Stirling – James Frawley agrees! 👍

Does anyone know what the holding-the-ball rule is anymore?

All I know is if you complain about it publically, the umps will strike back or over-react next week.

Clarko didn’t even ‘go there’ at this week’s presser – he got the message – you may have four flags but we’ve got the whistle.

Does anyone know what the holding-the-ball rule is anymore?

Giant held it in will Frawley had no prior.

the fix was in yesterday

Karma for Clarko? Hawk gets pinged for very harsh holding the ball

Yep on the umps. Yep on the game but I don’t remember him calling for rule changes.

Believe it or not, more free kicks for Hawthorn won't fix footy

North is a danger game for the Hawks despite last week’s win over the Premiers.

Just as well we are playing them at home…..ah……hang on a minute…. 😡

I’d take Sidebottom out of the two.

AFL Team of the Week: Round 3

You really think Kreuzer will be warming the pine when fit, Macca?

That’ll be a real feather in Pitto’s hat if true.

Seven talking points from AFL Round 3

Surely this is akin to Marsh Community Series form from most sides given the 2 pre-seasons that teams have had to do and shorter games? I mean even the Suns looked good in their Marsh games.

The inconsistency isn’t that much of a surprise to me TBH.

Seven talking points from AFL Round 3

So the Hawks are friendless amongst the ‘experts’ after one garbage half of football played at an unfamilar ground after an 8 week break even if you do ignore their excellent late 2019 form and a quality round 1 win?

We may not salute tonight but writing Clarko and the Hawks off for 2020 looks like a premature call IMHO…..

The Roar's AFL expert tips and predictions: Round 3

completely agree – rubbish club, rubbish members 😛

Queensland government to allow crowds of 2000 from this weekend

Clearly off their tucker early on in 2020 but I reckon it’s too early to write them off just yet.

Adelaide on the other hand…..

Poor efforts, weak defending dooming dysfunctional Dogs
