Alastair Clarkson says that the Hawks need to play consistent football in order to get the four points against Gold Coast this weekend.

"We've been disappointed with our consistency from contest to contest and quarter to quarter," said Clarkson.

"We've played some good footy in the two games to date, but we've also had some patches where we've been really poor, so we need to get much more consistency of effort across the full four quarters."
