    Re: Sam Mitchell to take over from Clarkson in 2023

    Well all the macho men on the various Footy shows had a go at Caroline Wilson. I hope they turn around and apologise.

    I look forward to all the apologies over the next few days. A veritable conga line of apologies.

    mate try since 2005/2006.

    The only reason Clarkson survived was because Dunstall had his back.
    More of an In Bruges guy?

    There's been some suggestion it was Clarko's manager leaking to Caro.
    Wouldn't surprise me if Clarko had outsmarted everyone else at the Hawks one final time. Gets paid a million bucks next year to do whatever he wants.

    I think that's spot on. He knew he wasn't staying from the get go, said the opposite until he got the pay out he wanted.

    He was past his use by date when he got dumped as Premier. I was thrilled when he re-took the Hawks Presidency.

    Wouldn't surprise me. I used to know Henderson in a past life. Was a bit of a weasel. But a good strategy.

    Because Clarko is the most important and powerful person at the club, and Jeff can't tolerate a person being more powerful and popular than him.

    If you were Clarkson, would you go to Collingwood or Carlton or neither?

    Never did like Ted or Phil Hay and definitely not John Peck!

    They beat us against the odds in'61 then they had enough premierships for five lifetimes but during our one life.
    Happy for them to be a rabble and cellar dwellers here on in till I go to the footy ground in the sky.
    "Sted" Hay. I have disliked ALL of Hawthorn since 1961. Their suppotrters are mostly insufferable. I suspect most of them barrack for Brazil and Manchestef United.

    Clarkson has had enough!

    Kennet has gotten his wish.
