Title: Damien Hardwicks contract performance triggers
Post by: Chuck17 on April 02, 2016, 03:49:14 PM
Have heard from a very reliable source high up in the RFC that Harwdicks performance triggers under the contract extension are not to make finals this year but perform a mini rebuild while still being competitive.

He has been told to play such players as Rioli, Menadue, Short, Cellis etc etc and manage out poor performers such as Chaplin, Batch, Hunt etc etc

Make of it what you will but the person should know

My mail is Dimma still thinks we are playing NAB challenge and is selecting teams accordingly.

Well Chucky - don't know if you're just being you, or if this is true....but actually wouldn't mind if the latter was the case....can't see us making the finals this year with same old plodders anyway and would even prefer finishing 14th with young talented kids than 9th or 10th with the aforementioned plodders.....

Yep as frustrating as this season would be, it would be great to finish lower because we've blooded younger guys in and not used the same old mecernaries.
Come in next year without Hampson,  Grigg,  Hunt etc
Some new high draft choices and a gun like Prestia or O Meara and a FA ruck and we are starting to look better.

Yep. I'm starting to feel like this is the only way forward.

I see our list going through a little turnover with menadue, c Ellis, astbury, Rioli, short all getting games. I like it. Times running out for jack, rance, Deledio, Maric however

Of course the glaring flaw in this new approach is that Hardwick still remains the coach...

Wouldn't mind this to be the case but would have liked to have traded some older heads out if we are trying to extend our premiership window

This makes no Lennon even more bizarre

Given our terrible  trade performance it seems like the only way to build depth. But even then what's to say we limit our trading to say pick 24 for Zac Dawson and then pee away the rest of the picks on your Conca types.

Hmm, can you be given direction from the off field department (official or underhanded) to play specific players? I could understand an objective along the lines of development over final ladder position, but beyond that surely any player decisions is the sole domain of the coaching department.

However, I certainly don't mind that type of ethos. If you look at our list and ask yourself without injuries and with everyone playing at maximum capacity can we win a flag? If the answer is no, which I think it is, then you would attempt something along these lines. Deledio is probably being managed accordingly, why waste games on his ageing legs in games that don't matter.

Still, are we sure there's a part of us that isn't rationalising Friday nights loss somewhat? Its the only thing that helps me get to sleep at the moment....

Well I have heard from my source again who has been very hard to get hold of lately.

Captain obvious but things haven't been going well at RFC, they honestly thought they would be competitive whilst undertaking a mini rebuild and win approx. half their games.  Well that has gone out the window due to injuries and our top players out of form.

What has started out to be a mini rebuild is now a full on rebuild, he said we will only win two more games, if we win more then it will be against other sides that are tanking. We will be aggressive traders with only Cotchin, Jack and Rance off limits, they expect between two and three picks in the first round by trading Lids and Martin.

Lastly Dimma will be safe until mid 2017 as he will be taking the heat for the rebuild.

You taking the pee again Chuck? I can't tell.

Biggest load of garbage I have ever read on the Internet
Facts are internally 6 weeks ago they were aiming top 4 with players quietly saying the same
Reading this rubbish is 30 secs of my life completely wasted

Would LIKE us to finish bottom 6!

1 - get an easier fixture in 2017

2 - get a top 6 pick and draft a gun midfielder

3 - Trade B.Ellis, Conca, Vickery, McBean

4 - Delist Chaplin, Maric, Hampson, Hunt

5 - Trade for a ready made ruckman from another club

6 - Draft a ruckman with our 2nd Pick
