Keep the faith: Hardwick
richmondfc.com.au
By Mike Rogers 11:24 PM Sat 10 April, 2010
RICHMOND coach Damien Hardwick has urged Tigers fans to keep the faith after his side's third successive heavy loss in 2010.
The winless Tigers were roundly thumped by the Swans in the first half, conceding 10 goals and booting just one of their own.
But they regrouped at half time and rallied to almost break even with the home side in the second half, eventually losing by 55 points.
"There's obviously some work for us to do … we've got a young developing forward line and we always knew that was going to be our achilles heel somewhat this year," Hardwick said.
"The positive for us is that we got the ball inside 50 a lot more and we've just got to make sure we can manufacture some shots from here on in."
Jack Riewoldt was one of Richmond's second-half success stories, presenting tirelessly and finishing with three goals for his efforts.
Hardwick said the Tigers' forward line would remain a work in progress until young key forwards such as Ben Griffiths and David Astbury could step up to senior level.
"We've just got to wait until those boys are ready," he said.
"When they come in, then Jack and Mitch will play their normal roles, probably as a third and fourth forward, because at the moment we're probably asking them to play outside their weight division."
Despite Hardwick's positive post-game demeanour, he said club insiders were thoroughly aware of the improvement required to compete consistently at senior level.
"The guys have made some really good inroads and tonight was another step forward," he said.
"Every time we go out there, we learn something about this group and how they play. We're under no illusions as to how far we are back and we know we've got a long way to go."
Richmond faces Melbourne at the MCG in round four and Hardwick batted away suggestions that it would be his side's best chance for a win in several weeks.
"Next week, people will build it up however they want but for us, it's another chance for our players to learn and implement the game plan and the structures we're after," he said.
In injury news, Relton Roberts will be assessed this week after being concussed in the final term.

Seriously Jack... you have lost the plot.
Most of us accept that its going to get worse before it gets better.......except you.You seem to expect unrealistic miracles(like beating the Bulldogs)
Small baby steps is all we can expect in 2010.

Poor starman, another victim of the tigeryears! Can just picture him in the padded cell
right now curled up in the fetal position "Damian Wallace" :banghead "Terry Hardwick"
:banghead MOMEY HELP ME :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead
:banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead
:banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead
All patience and no goals makes Jack a dull boy :banghead
It's hard man but let's get to the Dees game and keep searching for that gold, I have no expectations any game this year apart from baby steps, we could have kept our "experience" but where would that have got us 3 years from now.
Catch me if I fall
I'm losing hold
I can't just carry on this way
And every time
I turn away
Lose another blind game
The idea of perfection holds me
Suddenly I see you change
Everything at once
The same
But the mountain never moves
Rape me like a child
Christened in blood
Painted like an unknown saint
There's nothing left but hope
Your voice is dead
And old
And always empty
Trust in me through closing years
Perfect moments wait
If only we could stay
Please
Say the right words
Or cry like the stone white clown
And stand forever
Lost forever in a happy crowd
No one lifts their hands
No one lifts their eyes
Justified with empty words
The party just gets better and better
I went away alone
With nothing left
But faith

I have severe reservations about the young developing forward line
Riewoldt misses to many shots at goal
Post needs to get his mind on the job- showing some bad signs, dropping marks, letting footys run between his legs etc etc.
Roberts doesnt chase hard enough in the forward line and at times yesterday wasnt interested in the defensive chase in our forward line.
The big issues however are the key posts with Riewoldt and Post ... IMHO neither should feel that they are guaranteed starters. Bring on Griffiths, Astbury and maybe Dae instead.

100% correct.
Post has turned into a Rock Star over night, think things come easy, it seems, REALITY CHECK IS AROUND THE CORNER ;)

Agree, this is pathetic, at least with Wallace we kicked more goals. Honestly what the hell is going on with the lack of goals.

Hardwick should start stripping the paint of the walls with some of the stuff thats happening. In all seriousness how can an AFL player drop easy marks like Post and get to the point where he's letting the footy run between his legs FFS!

Riewoldt and 1 or 2 others are missing easy shots at goal, nothing Hardwick can do if the players cant kick straight! I counted at least 5 shots that any decent team would have kicked that our blokes turned into behinds.

Like it or lump it this is the situation we have been left in by our recruiters, it is not our current coaches fault we are not kicking many goals

We need to recruit another young forward with our first pick in the national draft. More options you have the better off we will be.

No thats right nothing Hardwick can do but apparently Wallace was to blame for our lack of skill level last year not the players. So is Hardwick developing the players any better........ doesn't look like it.

Wallace had 5 years with experienced players. Hardwicks had 3 weeks and has only Cousins thats any good for experience. If you dont get that then theres nothing more that we can add.
-
the only reson we kicked goals under wallace is becuase we had Richo and Brown to relive the pressure of reiwoldt and morton and with out Batman and boy wonder other teams are going to be like Tigers who?
i do like seeing Nason having a crack i might add :thumbsup

Time must travel very very slow for you Ramps, 3 weeks, he has had them training since November. The players that you mentioned missing goals have been in the system for longer than 3 weeks anyway, Riewoldt????????? If you don't get that there is noing more we can add.... ;)

wtf is everyone so upset???
sit back and have a real understanding at where we are at!!!!
1/ sydney was alwyas gonna win that game, and we dis well to keep it under 10 goals
2/ its gonna take tinefor this group to learn toi play the new game plan together, but seriously, the signs are positive , stop looking at the scoreboard this yr ffs, but look at some other important aspect of teh game, we beat sydney , yes sydney atthe sgc at the clearances stoppages and hard ball gets. we had more inside 50's. that imop is a fantastic effort
sure we didnt kick many goals but that will come , just be patient, rememeber the cats saints and hawks when they started their rebuilding under bomber , lyon and clarko, their scores were not high either and footy was ugly.
we wont get our fwd lin eright until griffith and astbury join in and get experience. Post is a defender and will play down back
i just dont understand y all u tiger fans just cant be patient for anoyther couple of yrs, this is the foirst time in our history we have a coach that has decided to rebuild properly. so let him
sydney at hime are a 10 goal better team atm, so the result is at it is
but have a look at martin and nasaon, they are gonna be guns for us and martin will be a a grade elite champion.
tambling and deledio both must look at martin and think poo if he has the balls to have a go, we should too

How many games has Hardwick coached? How many did Wallet coach? How many games has Hardwick had Matthew Richardson, Nathan Brown, Kane Johnson, Joel Bowden at his disposal. So your not confused - these are the answers
Games Coached- Hardwick 3 weeks worth, Wallace 5 years worth
Games with Richardson Brown and co- Hardwick 0, Wallace almost 100
The end, if you wanna support Wallace go support him somewhere else instead of making yourself look like a fool. ;D
And just to add, Hardwick will never have a Richo or a Brown to win him cheap games!

Ramps I will not be going anyware mate, don't tell me to go support Wallace someware else I will do it here and perhaps you need more mirrors in your house...... fool.. ;D
I suppose old mate, the coach from the Roos could come up with excuses too...... oh hang on his side just won and he has only had them since this year. I think Hardwick is great but has he progressed the players skill level over the pre-season.........NO. That is our biggest area of deficiency and it does not look like it has bee addressed in the off season.

You should change your tag to "Locked & Loaded" lol ... thank stuff Wallace is no longer coaching us, a rabble for 5 years, started at the bottom and left us at the bottom, and left the new coach having to sack or retire 15 blokes in the first 2 months lol. Locked and Loaded my arse.

Ok c'mon Ramps do you honestly think the skill level of our players that played under Wallace has improved???
-
Id suggest that in 2 years we will be able to tell just not after 3 games lol - that you wanna condemn the coaches efforts after 3 games and compare him to the same accountability as the locked and loaded one is a joke and you know that.

What PLAYERS have improved Ramps???????? Not coach's.......... PLAYERS????
-
We have lost soem of the most skillful palyers we have had in ages; Brown and Bowden and one of the most miraculous players ever in Richo.
The only people who are upset with where we are at are those who had unrealistic expectations and thought getting rid of Wallace would suddenly turn everything around.
-
WAT stop it.
Give Hardwick a chance. Ross Lyon's saints were hopeless under him.
As far as development goes, how can you possibly thihnk that there would be improvement within 3 rounds. When everyone in the football world says it's going to be a long transformation it's about 3 years not 3 rounds. Have a look at Carlton. Still not close to contending the Premiership 5 years on from bottoming out. We haven't even started yet.
Just sit back and try your best to enjoy seeing the odd cameo cause that unfortunately is as good as it'll get for a long time.

Unfortunately we are going to have to put put with being beaten convincingly for a while. What option do we have? At least they are making decisions for the long term. Investing in Youth is the only way forward for us. Unfornately Frawley and Wallace recruited poorly. We are being punished for the sins of the past.

We've got a plan: Hardwick
The Age
April 12, 2010
THE magnitude of the task facing first-year Richmond coach Damien Hardwick was clear for all to see during Saturday night's loss to Sydney at the SCG.
The Tigers were outclassed in all areas, taking almost 50 minutes to kick their first goal and ending up on the wrong end of a 16.15 (111) to 7.14 (56) hiding.
So it was somewhat surprising to hear Hardwick even mention the prospect of a drought-breaking Richmond premiership being anywhere on the horizon.
He knows it's a long way away, but he certainly seems up for the fight to return the club to the AFL's elite.
''We've got a plan. We know where we're at and we know where we're going,'' he said when asked if Richmond's troubles were bigger than he anticipated.
''For us it's all about getting that 11th premiership. So next week's game is another learning curve and another step forward.
''We started this process with the end in mind and we're working our way back towards that.''
Richmond's next game is against Melbourne on Sunday. Seen as a probable wooden-spoon showdown, it has taken on a different complexion with the Demons' victory over Adelaide.

some journos love to exagerate
we were not outclassed in all areas of the game
we were outclassed in the 1st half only in our inability to put scoreboard pressure on with th eamount of insde 50s
however , in the whole game , we were not outclassed in the clearances and midfield, we actually won that battle
this is just a typical article where one looks at the scorboard and not the game as a whole
looks can be deceiving, we have a plan and we r going ok, just wait til our fwd structure is right
-
Our forward sturcture will take another 18 mths at the bare minimum.

i agree with this post.
however ...
you can not allow teams to kick 10 goals to one before half time.
when "The Heat Was On" ... we did not stand up!
Nason and Riewoldt, two players who are in MY twenty-two, if they kicked their set shots at goal, would this match been different?
from the Sydney match i question ...
Trent Cotchin, nine disposals, four kicks?
Brett Deledio, no impact! five kicks?
Mitch Morton, no impact!
Richard Tambling, why doesn't he play in the midfield?
Jayden Post, does he think he is a superstar? Post was very disappointing!
Shane Tuck, why bother with him when CLEARLY Hardwick does not want him in the team? did he actually play?
Alex Rance, play him in defence and give him a chance! he can not kick, so instruct him and players around him to give the handball off!
Matthew White, why haven't you done anything in your career? give him a position! that is all!
Dean Polo, play him on the half-forward! leave him there! pre-season he was training there, now he is back to his old habits!
Deledio, Tambling, Polo - three top twenty draft picks in 2004 and still Richmond are struggling! no impact!
you can look at the stats all you like, but the scoreboard is the main stat.
it is sad and exciting at the same time, that we are waiting for Griffiths and Astbury to play!
Riewoldt and Morton are fine, but i think our forward line structure or match plan is completely wrong!
Richmond still does not understand that if you leave a player in the goalsquare and give him a lot of space to lead out to, that will result in more scoring shots and possibly more goals!
then six goals each in the second half, did Sydney drop their intensity after the match was won?
it is hard to listen, watch Richmond like this, but at the same time have to realise that if YOU (everyone) think that Richmond will finish bottom four or bottom two, WE WILL GET BEATEN LIKE THIS!
however ...
i do not understand how Adelaide can go from missing out on a premilinary final to sitting on top of us without a win?
and ...
Fremantle second on the ladder undefeated?
same players? what is so different now?
why can't Richmond be like that?
is it because Richmond have no good players that are really "Dumb"?
Richmond's development?
have our players forgot how to play football?
can't a basic instruction be implied on the field? or is that to difficult to do?
Hardwick ... no issue yet, but i think our players are "Dumb Footballers"!
i question their passion to play the sport, for their club, supporters and not just playing for a better contract (which Deledio obviously did!)
when "The Heat Is On" you stand up! you do not let teams get an eight goal start!
is it that fu*king hard to kick goals?
is it that hard Jayden Post to take a mark?
is it hard Alex Rance to hit a target?
the Melbourne match is our 2010 Grand Final ... one of many to come!
we should not lose against Melbourne!
if we lose to Melbourne, then our players are the problem and have always been!
i still do not think Wallace was the problem, i think our players are soft!
Melbourne are no good, and if we lose to this team, it will be very dark at Richmond.
players will lose faith and passion!
it is Melbourne! they lost by one point and should of won it to a team still celebrating a great win against a Premiership favourite.
won against a team that is stuggling on field with only eighteen fit players in the end.
i will be absolutely shattered if Richmond does not win!
