Clarkson didn’t exactly leave the next moment they didn’t make finals. In fact if Kennett didn’t push him out the door he would still be at Hawks.

Didn’t Cotchin say he couldn’t see himself playing on all that long when he signed a contract extension with us before we started winning Grand Finals?

Yep and I think Hardwick has probably heard that if Clarkson had his time again he wouldn't have gone on that long and tried to squeeze more success out of a declining group. I think he wants to avoid that.
I don't watch 360, but Hardwick knows when, how, and what to say wherever he is.
They wouldn't appeal Marlions case if they didn't think they have a chance.
Hardwick knows the AFL and it's media are joined at the hip.

My take is they know he did the wrong thing and would have taken a week any other week, but are devastated at the timing with his having designed the dreamtime jumper.
I think the appeal is more about showing support for the bloke by leaving no stone unturned than expecting him to get off.
The difference is that we have continued to add young talent instead of trading away draft picks on endless top up players. I think that significantly changes the dynamic between the coach and players and opens the possibility of Hardwick staying on through the next phase.
agree to a point TBR. bad timing - but of course they are going to support him, regardless of the situation.
Hardwick still isn't going to go on TV and throw in the towel.
The really smart men come to realise,
Theres not much difference between the top of the mountain, or the bottom.
But i suppose that really smart men,
Generally dont coach footy teams
Or maybe we are going to go full legal and take it to the courts in the hope of it rolling into next week, getting an injunction for him to play this week in the meantime?
Maybe I need to stop watching Law and Order
Marlion might get off. Dreamtime might focus the minds of the judges to err on the side of good even if he didn't go to Geelong Grammar. Probably won't though. At first I thought he should get off due to numerous precedents where its been decided nothing to see here just because the player wasn't knocked out, but apparently the criteria has changed? Something about graded as medium although actually low?
All charges of bias aside, IMO he didn't get him in the head, but it looks like he might/ could have, could go either way.
I thought Robbos mention of Danger knocking out Vlastuin in the GF as being notable because he got off with no case to answer was interesting. Was that a footy media first?

while Pickett didnt absolutely hammer him, he hit him hard enough that you would think some damage would have been done if he got him high.
to me the video is inconclusive at worst, and Moore's response suggests it wasnt high.
i dont think i am biased in this instance, but i cant see how he should be suspended.
So Robinson was taking Lynch to task for the elbow to Impey but later was taking the Essendon midfileders to task for not smashing Parker
Robbo lesson 1. Violence is ok if you have a red sash but not if you have a yellow sash and your name is Tom Lynch

Yeh, basically sayng the bombers need a line in the sand game where anything goes. What a hypocritical *smile*.
His recent illness has done nothing to increase his already challenged intelligence.
Think of the endless references to Cotchin/Shiel but Vlastuin getting knocked out cold by Danger's cocked elbow barely rates a mention.
Truly a disgrace that action didn't go to the tribunal the week after the Grand Final.
We are screwed when Hardwick leaves.
We will end up with a king doofus.
Can't believe Hird and Pkyes names constantly come up.
I hope Kingsley takes over

Yep someone internal makes more sense. Kingsley seems the best chance so far as I was hoping Fly would've been the one.
