Call me old fashion, but I'm just a baby boomer with a good memory for distasteful acts against Carlton.
I'm not under the illusion that Clarkson will put aside his hatred for Carlton. Yes hatred.
Clarkson's misdemeanors against Carlton are not just the Ian Aitken Coward Punch incident. Opposition fans, who can't remember the Aitken King Hit, say the biggest dog act they witnessed in footy was Clarkson assigning 4 defenders, late in the last quarter, on Fevola to stop him kicking one more goal and reach 100. Why? His directive had nothing to do with winning a game, which we were losing at the time and lost by 10 goals. His actions were fueled by a hatred for Carlton.
Why would he come over for $1-2 Million to coach Carlton? Premiership Glory? Its 2 things. Carlton stupidly give him his superannuation and he takes laughing all the way to the bank, along with burying his vile acts against Carlton in one swoop.
The above are just 2 acts that top the cake. He's done his all to beat up Carlton and Carlton people every time he played or coached against them as pay back for the abuse he copped from Carlton supporters and players for his dog acts.
I want his legacy to be known throughout Carlton's history and for generations to come that the Clarkson acts against Carlton are not reflective of a good human being, but of an hot headed, a violent Coward puncher and a vandal of one of the great rare feats of football, the 100 goal milestone.
No thanks. Clarkson is not The Messiah, and the Hawks Board know it. They will not renew his contract when the real on field Leader of their Golden era is available to coach the Hawks. Lets not forget, without onfield leaders/coaches Mitchell, Hodge, Lewis and Roughead, Clarkson is not a guru and nothing less than an opportunist, who was lucky to be offically names as Coach of Hawks during their Golden era. That makes him a parasite in my books.
Totally agree, he is a spiteful nasty piece of work who had the good fortune to coach a team that coached itself.
We have already been burnt by two previous so called Super Coaches in Pagan & Malthouse. We don't want a 3rd Coaching Messiah.
