HAVE a burning question for an AFL senior coach as we get closer to the first bounce of 2017?

AFL Media's Ask The Coach series is back with Hawthorn's Alastair Clarkson in the hot seat on Wednesday.

How will the Hawks cope after losing Sam Mitchell and Jordan Lewis? How is Jaeger O'Meara's knee holding up? Can the Hawks remain a premiership threat this season?

Clarkson will answer your questions on Facebook from 1.30pm AEDT on Wednesday, March 15.
