I am neither a Teague advocate or a Teague basher (FWIW, I think his position has become untenable and a change will be made), but I don’t like the hate and misinformation being thrown around as “facts”….

This is not a fact. It’s your opinion that they were ”better credentialed”. Anyway, who are you referring to?

FACT- You cannot compare Teague and Clarksons first 2 years. Clarkson had a list of kids and the Hawks were in rebuilding mould when he was appointed similar to Hardwick so can everybody just stop with the comparisons coz Teague has a way more mature list that should be playing finals and is ready to go.
Perhaps they were rebuilding, but the average age of Hawthorn in 2005 was 24 years. That’s the same average age of Carlton in 2019 when Teague took over. Only three years before Clarkson was appointed, Hawthorn played in a preliminary final with a fairly young team, so they weren’t exactly a basket case (I’m not for a moment suggesting Clarkson has anything less than an outstanding coaching record). On the other hand, Teague took over a club that in the preceding three years had undergone a list turnover unprecedented in AFL history and had won about 20% of its games in that time.

This is not true.
