Damian Hardwick was caught speeding 20km over the limit last night. The police officer who pulled him up said "that will be a $250 fine and four demerit points", Hardwick replied "i'll take any 4 points i can get!"

Stupid post.
At least he's not coach of Nth Sunshine who lost by 400 points on the weekend.

Sources around the club have alluded to Jackstar kicking the Sherrin like a lady.
Can anyone confirm or deny these reports.

OK Hardwick is crap we get it.
But rank the other 15 coaches for us...
Just so we know who to chase.
Personally I think we should aim for Carlo Ancelotti.

This amounts to bullying and mental disintegration. It's getting tiresome. 7 games into a minimum of 66 game contract. Take a step back please.

I don't understand how you can be so degrading of a new coach after only 7 games and with the youngest list in the league to put out on the paddock? We all knew this would happen but I think we all hoped it wouldn't. Now that reality has hit and hope is all but gone we are all looking to blame someone but Jack Hardwick is not the target you should be pointing the finger at.
Hardwick is not about winning games this year. If we do it is a bonus not an absolute must. Hardwick is foremost a teacher, he is their to develop and educate our young list. Everyone is having to not only start from scratch but also attempt to erase what they had had ingrained in them for over 5 years. You mentioned some players have gone backwards, well this is why. Existing players are not playing by instinct but rather relearning how to play and what to do. Instead of focusing on attacking they are asked to prioritize defense. it is chalk and cheese and will take more than 7 games to learn. Magnify this by a plethora of experienced players and add a large group of raw recruits and you find the reason why our ship appears rudderless at the moment.
Patience is not an easy pill to swallow especially when the last batch we given gave us the runs but it is the medicine we must take in 2010. Our new coach is just trying to build up a strong foundation of skills and individual strategy at the moment. He has to find out who can play and how we can best play as a group. If he follows Wallace's lead and tries to save face with a few meaningless wins this year then what does that achieve?
Hardwick needs time and judging him on his win/loss record or even our game plan is far too premature. We all need to step back, give him and the list time and measure his success as a coach on the development of players and the team as a whole after a lot longer than 7 games!

Is there a point to this thread or just another chance for the forum wolves to circle the walking carcus of Hardwick?? I just can't believe this.

Hardwick has a 3 year contract - hes a long way away from having his coaching career curtailed. Everyone would do well to get in and Support the coach. I hope hes still coaching us in a decade!

Yep I am with you Ramps!! We need a long term coach that will set us up for sustainable excellence, despite the continual Hardwick knockers I think he has a lot of support. He certainly has support from where it counts, the true supporters, Members and the RFC!!

It's pretty amusing. im pretty upset too, i mean i had us pegged for a top four spot. i expected hardwick to have the easiest and most unbeatable gameplan instilled after game one of the NAB cup. I also expected that Cotchin would be unbackable for the brownlow at this point, and for Griffiths to be 35 goals in front in the coleman medal race... I also expected that our fourteen new players would instantly be better than those that had played this professional sport for many more years.
Mate, egg on my face...
Lets get rid of hardwick now, and try out new coaches for each round for the rest of the season. first one to win gets the job for the next 20 years.

If it was only a joke Jack and you never made your dislike for our current coach and his strategies/game plan/methods over a multitude of other threads no one would have blinked an eye lids and perhaps even had a laugh. This is not a flippant joke to you though Jack if your past threads are anything to measure your opinion by - you genuinely appear to believe Hardwick should be doing better at this point than he is.
For mine his and our teams development and success is on the right track but only patience and time will tell

What on earth are you talking about? There isnt a game plan. Dont you watch the game ? The Kick ins :banghead etc
-
they only scored 1 goal from our kick ins so i guess they were that disastrous
there is nothing wrong with kicking long to a contest when the back fifty is flooded and zoned by the opposition. kicking long to a contest near the boundary is the next best option and that is not why we lost
we tanked
what is hardwick gonna say ...we tanked, we switched off , i manipulated the structures to get us pumped..of course not
bailey and ratten never did
so hardwick keeps saying poo like we lack mental toughness , we run out of legs , we arnt good enough
we cant be that bad , we for 3 quarters had super high intensity and were in the game , we switched off bec we wanted too.
a win v the hawks is on the cards bec it wont effect our ladder position

I agree the kick in ploy seems to be a flawed strategy but X may be right - at least is clears the zone and gives us a chance to run the ball quickly down to the forward line.... :-\ Perhaps Hardwick doesn't have faith in our backmen's foot skills to get through the zone so thinks kicking long may be a better option. I'm sure this is being addressed but perhaps Hardwick understands that we need more players moved into the backline who can execute better by foot but until then the long kick is the better strategy. I'm only speculating of course but it does seem ugly at the moment I agree.
The game plan is working towards adopting the defensive zone but is currently more about individual development and education than overall team strategy. The coaches are attempting to 'find' players at the moment and are throwing people all over the field to attempt to discover what works best for them and for over team structure.
Hardwick will need time. Don't judge him on the back of his first 7 games but when the team starts to settle and his development of the team starts to become more obvious. At the moment he is trying to fast track the whole lists development which is particularly difficult when the footy world doesn't wait for success but demands it immediately. We just have to forget aiming to win at all costs this year and hope that by next year we can switch our attention back to that once we become more settled.
