Drubbing of course we would have preferred to get an actual Hawthorn assistant coach like Simpson, Beveridge and the rest but this is the next best thing. Not sure we were going to get Gunston and Roughie given they are still playing!
The other way to look at it is .. what have we lost?
Capt Kirk has already imparted his zen ways on to Fyfe etc and the other bloke I never really knew what he was in there for anyway.
Name someone who is/was available who would have been better and please don't say worsfold or camporeale.
Credit where credit is due and the Bennell pick up and this move are good moves, given what its cost us - not much.
If Hale even once says to Roly, aahhh Roscoe, at Hawthorn we did it this way and it seemed to work and Ross just once listens and actually implements an improvement, it will be worth it. We are only 10% improvement from a flag and every stone needs to be turned.
And Agarn, I know you were probably half joking but you are spot on. Do you reckon Roly trains them on the art of the free kick. I don't. I reckon Clarkson does. And the art of a whole lot of one percenters we have all been talking about all season. If Hale or Guerra can bring 10 or 20 one percenters that Hawks do into our club, then I say great.
