And arguably an even better draft a couple of years earlier in which they recruited two Premiership captains in Hodge and Mitchell.Some people ask the question where Hardwick and Richmond would be without Martin but I don’t hear anyone asking where Clarkson and the Hawks would be without the 2004 draft.
Roughead, Franklin and Lewis from their first 3 picks! 3 Hall of Famers in a draft that yielded 5 decent players in total!
Correct, he intimidates everyone on any program he's on. It's probably his reason for inserting himself into FC. Caro hasn't had much to say about Collingwood.
Not Dank juice but perhaps other stuff that might enhance aggression. Refer to the allegations surrounding the other two very young premiership teams of that period.First time I have ever heard anyone claim Hawks were on the juice. Scratching my head.
His master strategy was "copy Joel Bowden".Clarkson but his reputation as a great coach off the 2008 grand final win.
No one gave them a chance but they knocked off the cat’s.
It was a super effort by hawthorn
Yeah, and that often happens because she's not scared to go at anyone. Watson hates her so anyone that listens to SEN in the mornings will always get a negative angle on her stories. Brayshaw hates her. Eddie hates anyone the has a go at him or his Pies.
Throw in Hodge unbelievable captain. The Voss of HawthornSome people ask the question where Hardwick and Richmond would be without Martin but I don’t hear anyone asking where Clarkson and the Hawks would be without the 2004 draft.

Gotta give Caro credit. She obviously has an inside line at Hawthorn and used it perfectly.
It's strange, people on here claim to hate the AFL and the media boys club and she's one of the few who stand against that. Yet they don't like her either.

What, last year re Sidebottom with information that was already in the public domain?Pretty sure she managed to frustrate Eddie so much that he staged a walk off the FC set. She wouldn't let go of her questions despite his reframing of her questions in his answers.
I’m not a great fan of quite a lot of the AFL media AA, my reasons are their arrogance , the way they’ll *smile* on a player then expect them to be forthcoming with information , and the fact they can’t admit when wrong , don’t like the type of person some of them are. The only way I see/read anything a few of them write is bloody re tweets or on here . As for their ability to analyse a game of footy , I’d rather subscribe to some of PREs finest , then the media , some are just woeful and too stuck in the ways and let there hatred or love of clubs shine through.It's strange, people on here claim to hate the AFL and the media boys club and she's one of the few who stand against that.

The point I'm making is that she does go after the Pies as well. She was leading a fair bit of the board turmoil at the Pies this year.What, last year re Sidebottom with information that was already in the public domain?
There’s a hell of a lot going on at that club right now that we’re not hearing about.
I wouldn't know what's happening at the Pies, I don't have inside sources.There’s a hell of a lot going on at that club right now that we’re not hearing about.
If that's what you think of PRE's finest, I hate to hear what you think about the rest of usI’d rather subscribe to some of PREs finest , some are just woeful and too stuck in the ways and let there hatred or love of clubs shine through.

They’re in the Supreme Court right now trying to stave off an EGM intended to tip out the board.The point I'm making is that she does go after the Pies as well. She was leading a fair bit of the board turmoil at the Pies this year.
I wouldn't know what's happening at the Pies, I don't have inside sources.
But even that fact gives weight to Caro's stories. She goes when she's been given inside info. She doesn't just make stuff up or rely on BigFooty for her scoops.
Collingwood has largely been protected from public scrutiny of its inner workings.
Exactly.Sounds like Eddie's leadership meant insiders were too scared to leak stories, especially with Eddie being a media insider.
