For me Walls won the Hackdorn on Saturday afternoon whilst offering "special comments" on the Hawks v Pies game. Walls spoke glowingly on too many occasions for me to count (I suspect there were also physical movements happening but don't think about that) about Alistair Clarkson being happy for his players to miss the odd week of footy due to suspension if it meant that they were imposing their physical presence on the game etc... He said it so many times it made me sick. As a classic example of Clarksonism think Jordan Lewis. Walls would play him every week (except he wouldn't play every week....).

Of course, if it was J Carr or J Farmer imposing their physical presence on the game and getting suspended those players would be irresponsible, putting themselves before the club etc... and our club and its head coach would be a disgrace for not pulling them aside and telling them to pull their heads in etc...

And so we get to "On the Couch" - J Carr cost us 8 premiership points apparently. I haven't checked but I'm very confident that in some of the games in the past 2 seasons in which Jordan Lewis, Mitchell, Crawford, Brown, Hodge etc.... have been suspended the Hawks have lost. Does Walls get on his high horse and have a crack at those players (and that club) regarding suspensions and not playing the ball and costing premiership points? Of course not.

Walls (and others of his ilk like Butler and Hackdorn) pick on us because it's easy. As the previous poster pointed out - if the same crap being meted out to Fremantle at the moment was meted out to St Kilda they would have been kicked out of the competition way before their only flag in 1966.
