HAWTHORN coach Alastair Clarkson has thrown his support behind club president Jeff Kennett following his controversial call for the Melbourne Football Club to relocate to the Gold Coast.
Clarkson said Kennett was entitled to "rattle the cage" and believed that the Hawks were a stronger football club as a result.
"We've got a president who, in his political life and now as the president of our club has
been as good as anyone in that regard for a long, long period of time," Clarkson said.
"We're absolutely delighted that he rattles the cage at our football club because it makes us
a much, much better footy club."
"Sometimes those comments are provocative, sometimes they're challenging (but) they're always very, very well-informed."
"He's got a fantastic intellect, he's got great humour and we're pretty happy that he's the president of our footy club because he challenges us to strive to get to another level."
