Clarko has a knack of believing in his own judgement and getting the best out of players, even if they don’t think it’s in them. An excellent motivator and educator of people.
I was at that game it was those 5mins of Stuart Dew's in the the 3rd quarter of the 08 GF that I knew we had the game won it is those 5mins I will never forget along with Cyril's effort on the wing against two Geelong players
Stuey Dew was the difference between the 2 clubs that day, no doubt about it. It wasn’t just the goals he kicked, it was his ability to bring teammates in to the game and create passages of play that resulted in goals.
I thought Clarko was absolutely bonkers for getting an overweight unfit player who'd been retired for a year to come to the Hawks. But hey, what would I know ?😁
