Well written and as insightful as ever Mick. I think I like this article the most of all that you have delivered thus far. Success can be a fluke or you can get lucky on game day, but sustained success (skills aside) is made up of many parts with attention to detail, a willingness to always play your role, to help your team mate be better and to never give up is the real difference. (Connor MacDonald was the perfect example of that).
Well Done Sam and Team for coaching the right attitudes.
I had no idea what to expect on Friday after 2 really poor pre-season showings and was nervous. The boys brought it from the first bounce, various players had their moments/quarters, with the usual suspects proving the difference and I never doubted their ability to run out a game. When the rain got heavier, a commentator said the fittest team would win. My nerves were gone. Positional changes were brilliant to ensure the win. #GoHawks.
Clarkson also benefited from having three on field coaches that directed in real time. Hodge in the backline, Mitchell in the midfield and Roughead in the forward line.

100%
Such a good read. BTW I think most of my teachers had given up on me by the time exams rolled around
Spot on Mick, as usual. Love your analogy re teachers and Year 12 exams.
Great article/writing Mick I always look forward to your comments and writings ( sometimes I think the only voice of reason)
HI has something for everyone for oldies like me and the brash youngies .
PS let’s keep Angry Brad happy!
Great article Mick. Your year 12 analogy really resonated with me having just had a daughter complete her year 12.
First exam down, another 20+ to go.
