Well I for one, just am not going to accept it.

Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Listen to all the usual's, got what you wanted?? Pity your big mouths don't open as much game day when we dish the poo up!!!

Gloat and wallow in your own crap, you should be used to it, god only knows how much you accept it!!

It doesn't hurt to raise these discussions and hope that for once something decent will come our way, or at least think that the useless RFC will have a crack at doing something. But no, you lot (the ones) just keep thinking it's all going to get better, good luck with that. :lol

Well what do we have here  ;D
======================
Clarkson has verbal agreement on new deal
April 21, 2016 11:59 AM

ALASTAIR Clarkson says he has made a verbal commitment to extend his tenure at Hawthorn, with the four-time premiership coach dismissing suggestions he could be poached by a rival club.

Clarkson told AFL.com.au in February he had agreed to a three-year extension until at least the end of 2019, which would give him time to oversee the regeneration of the Hawks' ageing list.

However, the master coach's future came back into the spotlight this week when Fairfax Media speculated Collingwood could have an eye on Clarkson to replace Nathan Buckley, given the Hawks coach was yet to put pen to paper on his new deal.

But on Thursday, Clarkson shut down any suggestion he might quit Hawthorn.

"It's all because of me, not anyone else (that no contract has been signed yet)," Clarkson said.

"I can't even remember if I signed the last contract; what I have done is make a commitment to the club and I don't back away from commitments.

"So I'm going to be a Hawker. As much as I'm flattered that Caro (journalist Caroline Wilson) and others are interested in what's going on with my contract, I made a commitment to the club six weeks ago and I'm going nowhere.

"I made a commitment six weeks ago, and for all those out there that think I might be going somewhere, it couldn't be further from the truth."


The 47-year-old has coached Hawthorn in 263 matches – including five Grand Finals - since taking the reins in 2005 and is closing in on the legendary John Kennedy Snr's 299-game club record for most matches coached.

Clarkson has become a statesman of the game since rebuilding the once-struggling Hawks into a powerhouse and he applauded the AFL's decision this week to scrap Grand Final replays.

Talking about it is different to demanding it and saying the club is too weak etc. when it was and is never going to happen

nah, pretty much the same thing round these theses parts

Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

e end of 2019,

Absolutely agree big tone, fine to have a discussion about options

But to whack the club for not getting him is wrong.

 Just like whacking those (not you btw) who said he wasn't leaving the Hawk was a bit over the top  ;D

All sweet

Listen to all the usual's, got what you wanted?? Pity your big mouths don't open as much game day when we dish the poo up!!!

What the? "Got what you wanted" if for a milli second we were a chance of getting him I would have said go for it but the facts were we were never a chance because he had an agreement with the Hawks.

As for the rest of your rant, if that's what you believe, then good for you. You are so far of the mark it's not funny but no point in discussing further because it clearly fails your purpose  :thumbsup

Do you struggle being right all the time WP??? Or is it just that you can't accept others opinions?
