" we're a better side than that"
"Our best is good enough"
"Our boys will come out to play next week"
"If we play our best footy we can beat anyone"
We'll trouble sides (this season) (frawleyesque)
Asked if he gave the team a spray after the game, he said -"NO"
Praising MELBOURNE is a cop out.
Nice job of passing the buck.
Truth is, you don't have the leadership qualities needed to take a team into the top 2 or 4.

The journos are smart, they're not calling him out yet, premature, they're gonna wait a little longer for this egg to hatch.
He won't leave and won't get sacked, we got 2 more stuffing yes of this

NO point in posting all that
I say it every week.
Also, no point him saying it and then saying the crap that I posted.
Basically he's a dumb idiot.
I can see right thru him. Can't yiu?

But Dimma you said we'd learn from the Bulldogs loss and yet the very next time a side comes with an 18 man forward press and numbers at every contest we just cough the ball up yet again. We learnt nothing and neither have you because for too many years now this has been the case. You're not always going to get an offensive, pressure free game Dimma. Work it our or time to P off
-
When is he going to roll out the Frawley classic, we might not make the top 8, but we'll help shape it.
His equivalent was " we will trouble sides this year"
That's an admission of top end failure imo
-
Bit to worry about if in almost 6 years incharge he has not once sprayed the players
-

what about the no comment when asked a question ox.
He is seriously got no stuffin idea and neither do the reporters.
Ask him this FFS. How is your best good enough when the club has no depth as was evident by the reserves getting beaten by Coburg and you consistently select the same under performers week in week out.
sack the bum now

Line in the sand game next week. Again.

Furious Hardwick slams 'insipid' Tigers as injuries bite hard
Travis King

April 25, 2015
BITTERLY disappointed Richmond coach Damien Hardwick has blasted his side for playing "insipid footy" and questioned their hunger for the contest after a 32-point defeat to Melbourne on Anzac Day eve.
Trailing by only two points at half-time and with the chance to start the season 3-1, the Tigers went missing after the long break and kicked only one goal as Melbourne took control in the wet.
"You know what the wet finds out? It finds out a lot about your playing group," Hardwick said post-match.
"At the end of the day, a performance like that indicates we're not tough enough.
"We're better than that bloody performance."
The first half was played in near perfect conditions at the MCG, but rain sheeted down early in the third term and it was the less fancied Demons who showed a willingness to crash into packs and play wet weather footy.
Richmond lost the contested ball (74-85) after half-time and coughed up six goals to one with the game on the line.
"To put up that second-half performance when you don't hunt the ball, the side looks stronger than you over the contest – we were fumbling and bumbling away – you're never going to win a footy game," Hardwick said.
"It was as poor an effort as I've seen from our footy club in a long time. Really poor.
"We were disappointing in an area we're normally good at. Contested ball is normally a foundation block of our footy club.
"Tonight we didn't come to play. We weren't tough enough, the opposition out-hunted us, outmuscled us.
"We played insipid footy, plain and simple."
Rubbing salt into the wounds for the Tigers was a serious knee injury to debutant Nathan Drummond and calf problems for key forward Ben Griffiths.
The pair add to a lengthy injury list including key playmaker Brett Deledio (calf) – out for at least another week - Chris Knights (hamstring), Kane Lambert (shoulder) and Ricky Petterd (foot), who are facing long stints on the sidelines.
Dylan Grimes and Reece Conca are listed as one week away from returning from hamstring injuries.
Hardwick said it was heartbreaking to lose Drummond – who was comforted by his teammates in the rooms post-match – to what is likely to be a season-ending anterior cruciate ligament injury.
"We're not quite sure of the extent of it, but it doesn't look that great at the moment," he said.
The coach confirmed Griffiths would miss at least next weekend's crunch clash against Geelong, which starts a tough run leading to the bye.
The Tigers then face North Melbourne, Collingwood, Port Adelaide (away), Essendon and Fremantle (away), however Hardwick was bullish about his side's chances if they can rediscover their best.
"Bring it on. Our team holds no fears for anyone. We're capable, if we play our best footy we'll beat anyone."

Richmond Tigers coach Damien Hardwick says his side was ‘insipid’ in their Round 4 32-point loss to Melbourne at the MCG

A FURIOUS Damien Hardwick last night accused Richmond of not being tough enough and labelled the shock loss to Melbourne as “insipid footy”.
The Tigers are precariously placed at 2-2 with a nightmare six weeks leading into the bye – but Hardwick maintained a return to form would see his team capable of beating any club.
The 12.11 (83) to 6.15 (51) loss at the MCG was compounded by injuries to Ben Griffiths (calf) and debutant Nathan Drummond (knee).
A scan on Saturday is expected to confirm a ruptured ACL for Drummond, ruling him out for the season.
The Tigers won the inside-50 count 57-43 – a stat they haven’t lost this season – but managed their lowest score against the Demons in 25 years in a scrappy game dampened by driving rain in the second half.
Hardwick lamented his side’s poor goalkicking, drop in contested ball dominance and said the display was “as poor an effort” as he’s seen for a long time.
“A performance like that indicated we’re not tough enough,” Hardwick said.
“We’re better than that bloody performance. We looked impotent after half-time.
“Our best is well and truly good enough. Unfortunately, inconsistency in performance thus far this year is not getting it done.
“Contested ball is normally a foundation block of our footy club, I think we were No.2 last year and No.1 the year before that (and) tonight we didn’t come to play.
“We weren’t tough enough, the opposition outhunted us, outmuscled us (and) we played insipid footy – plain and simple.”
The Tigers lost the contested ball count 161-153 while stars Jack Riewoldt and Dustin Martin were held goalless and captain Trent Cotchin fluffed an important set-shot in the third quarter.
“From my point of view we’re a better footy team than that,” Hardwick said.
“We’re capable. If we play our best footy we’ll beat anyone. I’m not worried about looking into the past, I’m more worried about looking into the future.”
The future holds Geelong, North Melbourne, Collingwood, Port Adelaide (away), Essendon and Fremantle (away) but pressed about the tough draw Hardwick said: “bring it on”.

geez, how many times do you have to front a presser and say we are better than that before you sit back and say "hang on........"
-
oh look....
-
oh gawd
-
A number of coaches have taken responsibility for poor efforts this year - including Paul Roos. Dimma should take note.

Wonder who the first journalist to pick up on this and ask tHe hard question will be?

But we have 12 players injured......
Well done Dimma :clapping :clapping :clapping see how many more excuses you can come up with before next weeks game.
You passionate supporters know nothing. He's only had 6 years and everyone knows it takes less than that long for a complete rebuild of the club. We should be dancing because we just made the finals 2 years in a row. :veryhappy :veryhappy :dancing

He didn't give em a spray. Reason - he didn't speak to then after the game.
Have to say I wouldn't have bothered either....

Good strategy, my missus won't speak to me for days on end prompting me to reflect upon my poor behaviour.
-
Just watched Matty White perform nicely for Port. Did not see much in the forward line on Friday night,. He left because he was not getting a go. He was right.
-
He has no plan B.
Having shots from the boundary line, pockets aren't going to create goals.
Playing forwards high up puts no pressure on the opposition defenders.
Having no small quick forwards to chase and put pressure on doesn't help.
Wanting Jack to work hard up the ground and beat 2,3 players isn't playing to his strengths.
Hardwick is a fool and is stubborn not playing direct football, having shots at goal from directly in front would be too easy wouldn't it?
Ohhh my, Griffiths missed shots from in front, Ohhh my, that never happens does it?
That's OK, let's have low percentage shots from the boundary line instead.
Gggggg didn't Melbourne hit the post at least 4-5 times from directly in front?
Players start to lose confidence when they work their backsides off delivering the football into the pockets only to have it add a behind or rebounded back out!
Our forward line is never open.
That last quarter sums up Hardwick, played Jack high forward and when we got the ball we had no one deep in the forward line to put some pressure on their defenders.
We either miss-kicked it or kicked it to Jack at CHF with a 2,3 v 1.
Nahhhh, Hardwick wouldn't want to play Jack deep forward with a small or one of Lloyd or Gordon, that would be too logical.
"You know what playing in the wet shows you Hardwick? It shows you the problems in your game plan"
Insipid Game Plan you muppet! Wake up you fool or go back to your computer and fill out tax returns fool!

ahh, the old mythical plan b
