He was just an average player at North and Melbourne who never stood out.

Re: Clarkson gets Hawks job
I think Clarkson saw how well Hawks choked losing pick 1 this year.
From one choking side to another....

Re: Clarkson gets Hawks job
Good coach. Coached Central Districts to consecutive flags and then went back to Melbourne to an assistant coaching role after his terms erent met in regards to time out for SA state side captaincy. IS a good coach though, they could have done a lot worse.

Re: Clarkson gets Hawks job
Now that Alastair has been appointed it makes a mockery out of the crap that was coming out of Hawthorn about the best possible coach for the HFC. Like they didn't want Wallace...nooooo. Even Schwab said that he was sacked because they were making a big play for Wallace.
I am not saying this guy can't coach but his appointment is hardly awe inspiring. If he has success they will say they knew he was fantastic all along. It will just be good luck if it works out. Any one of those candidates would have probably been ok.

Re: Clarkson gets Hawks job
Dis anyone see Steve Quartermains reaction when asked about the appointement on the Channel 10s news-Amazing!!-one of the highlights of the TV year-he may have been caught off guard but I seriously doubt it-obviously not a Clarson fan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Clarkson gets Hawks job
Love a $ for everytime I've heard - "they've appointed WHO???". I can just see the marketing guys shaking. Not exactly a house hold name, and based on what Schitzo Scott has been saying, it's going to be a bloody good watch to see his reaction. Great idea for a new reality tv comedy.

Re: Clarkson gets Hawks job
At this moment the Dawks website is unavailable - might be melt down over Clarkson's appointment!
And I only wanted to see what they were saying about their new coach!

Re: Clarkson gets Hawks job
Actually, after the announcement was made yesterday, there were many very happy Hawthorn supporters.
Some wanted Wallace as he had experience, but his asking price was too much. Hawthorn were not prepared to take the punt on a five year contract.
Anyways, I was hoping perhaps Gary Lyon, but it wasnt to be.But I am feeling very happy and very excited about next year.
Alastair spoke very well at the press conference, as well as on SEN and Sport 927. His policies are what we, as supporters are begging for.
NO TRADING OF DRAFT PICKS!! woohoo we were all terrified.
A strict youth policy - we were totally celebrating
Discipline - Well *smile*, havent had much of that
Media work - isnt impressed with Crawford on Bulger MD and conflict of interest with board members (we get that distinct impression) Players are going to be clamped down on and not given much scope to carry on like dickheads.
All in all, I am very happy. We needed to steer away from Wallace and Eade and Ayres as they are Hawthorn people. In fact I havent felt this good about Hawthorn in quite a while and to be honest, it is a relief.
He is untried, he is a risk and a gamble. Being a premiership coach doesnt get instant results. But he has mongrel. And that is what we need. He also referred to Hawthorn as "we" and "us" 30 seconds after being offered the job.
We are prepared to be patient as Clarkson's ideals and philosophies are identical to what we are crying out for.

Re: Clarkson gets Hawks job
Poor poor delusional Jacqui.....I almost feel pity for Hawthorn supporters at the moment....almost! What you need to realise is that Clarkson is simply an interim measure until another HAWTHORN PERSON is ready to return from sunny Queensland!

Re: Clarkson gets Hawks job
Why can't people just count our own blessings without needing to put others down.
There's no guarantee that Terry will be more successful than Alastair and he comes with a fat 5 year contract into the bargain.
It will be interesting to compare the fortunes in 5 years time.
I hope we're the ones laughing and I'm glad of our situation but there are certainly no guarantees.
Go Terry...but good luck to Alastair.

Re: Clarkson gets Hawks job
Not sour grapes at all.
I will admit, I was very keen on Wallace coming to Hawthorn. However after having supported the club for 18 years, would of been angry if we had of paid through the nose for him. We dont have any debt, but our profits this year will be significantly lower and membership will be down for 2005 you would imagine and we simply couldnt afford Terry Wallace.
Look, in all honesty, I am very excited about Clarkson joining. I was hoping he would get the job when he was first interviewed. He is enthusiastic, young and has the mongrel in him.
I guess we shall see in a year's time..............
