Hawthorn coach Alastair Clarkson admits he needs to win another premiership in the next two years Hawthorn coach Alastair Clarkson. HAWTHORN coach Alastair Clarkson concedes he could be looking for another job if the club can't win a premiership in the final two years of his contract. Clarkson has accepted an apology from former club president Jeff Kennett, who savaged the coach after Hawthorn fell to a 10th consecutive defeat at the hands of Geelong on Monday. Believing the Hawks had underachieved under Clarkson since winning the 2008 Grand Final, Kennett said he should be sacked or leave the club at the end of the season, despite being contracted for 2014. Clarkson told SEN radio yesterday. If we don't win a flag in the next two years, he probably is right and the club does need a change. But we're one year into a three-year deal and just at the start of the second year. We still think we've got some things we can do with this group of players that can bring some success to the Hawthorn footy club. Clarkson told Kennett, who was president from 2006-11, in a text message on Tuesday night he wasn't offended by the comments but wished Kennett hadn't gone public with his views. Meanwhile, Hawthorn expects Lance Franklin to be fully fit for Sunday's game against West Coast in Perth. There were concerns Franklin might have suffered a slight hamstring injury when he grabbed at the back of his left leg after being dragged down in a tackle in the third quarter on Monday. Former Western Bulldog Brian Lake could join captain Luke Hodge in the VFL for Box Hill this weekend.
