RICHMOND

Damien Hardwick


As the first coach to lead Richmond into the finals since Danny Frawley in 2001, how could Damien Hardwick's year be judged anything but a resounding success? The fourth-year coach has lifted the Tigers to the edge of the top four, orchestrating a number of individual success stories and transformations. Dual Coleman medallist Jack Riewoldt led the AFL for goal assists, showing his selfless side in a less predictable forward line. An injury-free Daniel Jackson, meanwhile, was released from his run-with duties and ranked No.4 at the club for possessions and No.1 (equal) for inside 50s. The midfield developed and was much deeper, while Alex Rance and Troy Chaplin led a rock solid backline. 'Tempo' footy was a problem for the Tigers early in the season, but they have shown better control since. - Nathan Schmook

He has coached us into our first finals series in 12 years.
Win lose or draw on Sunday he is a 7 having got us there.
How far we go will depend on whether he gets a higher score post finals.

He has also put a line through "No Excuse" threads and know all posters who bag the club when we lose. That's worth it's weight in gold!
