Hawthorn’s Senior Coach Alastair Clarkson, will become the second-longest serving coach in Hawthorn’s history when Hawthorn take on Port Adelaide this weekend.
To celebrate, here are some of Clarkson’s greatest quotes.
At three quarter time during the 2008 grand final
“I reckon we can win this one if we just rush lots of behinds. It will force the AFL to make a pointless rule change next season that will never be enforced.”
On Buddy Franklin leaving:
“Lance Franklin is effectively dead to me. I wish him nothing but untold misery.”
On punching the MCG coaches box wall
“Let that be a lesson to the rest of you walls.”
His view on the early 90s TV Show ‘Blossom’
“It's just never been bettered. You can trace your Breaking Bads and Sopranos back to it.”
To a junior umpire
“How many Premierships have you won? Don’t you run away from me backwards while I’m yelling at you!”
On Matthew Lloyd
“There is a special place in hell for Matthew Lloyd. Right next to the one for junior football umpires.”
Tom Harley’s objectivity
“The Channel Seven commentary box is not a place for stupid and inane comments.”
Jeff Kennett
“Jeff will need to sleep with one eye open for the rest of his life.”
On the Essendon Supplements scandal
“I’m not saying James Hird and all the players at Essendon are all guilty of drug cheating but yeah, totally guilty.”
The How I Met Your Mother finale
"Seriously? I invested all that time for this?" (punches living room wall).

He said that during the 2007 grand final? Now there's a man ahead of his time!
