Ah yes, one of my favorite PRE love affairs on here, Thorpe. We are still waiting for his unveiling...
We get necked with JON a lot but this fella has turned into a embrassement for them also, yet you never hear anything of it, they've just been able to wear it better with more hits than us.
An amusing thread, though as I did my fair share of Clarkson bashing over the journey I can't knock anyone. Though after about 7 pages, I've decided i'm going to get caught laughing by my boss if I don't stop lol
Suprisingly, to his credit, Claw was one of the few with a measured opinion lol

I guess you get cut a bit of slack with recruiting decisions when you make finals and win premierships. Thorp's had a hell of a lot of injuries as well.

Didn't he have injury problems when he was drafted?
Certainly be interesting to see how Hawthorn rebound from this apparent hangover next season. They haven't exactly followed up well.
Ouch....fair bit of egg on this thread ;D
In saying that, I actually still don't rate Clarkson that highly...is that just me??

It's all relative isn't it. His CV will always have 'premiership coach' on it.
How many can say that?
Most would have figured on paper at the time that Wallet seemed a better option than Clarkson did but Clarko will now always be considered well ahead.
You just never know (well you do now, wipes egg off face ;D).
However I do think the Hawks pinched one last year. No doubt in my mind the Cats were the best side in 2008.
Heck even we beat the Hawks but we couldn't get within a bull roar of Geelong.

This is a fantastic article. We are as a club, where Hawthorn was at the start of the Clarkson era.
Clarkson is a switched on unit.

Ahhhh.... to be 37 again..... :hihi
My judgment was based on Clarko having some anger management problems with a 'dirty' footballer type of profile when he played, compared to the 'messiah' some/most of us fell gullible too, who was a successful coach at the Dogs and a top midfielder at the Hawks. What a flip over this turned out to be.
