* One that got away. We weren't efficient going inside F50. Not clean enough.
* Happy with our pressure. Good starting point. Intensity of the Swans last night for full four quarters is something we've got to strive for.
* Standard of youngsters was pretty good. Markov incredibly impressive - his run and dash and use of the ball was pleasing.
* McBean was okay. Hard to step up when you haven't played at this level for a long time. Nervous early on but in 3rd quarter he started to jump and compete and set up a couple of goals. He'll play next week and the week after.
* Dusty was impressive. Physicality set the scene early. He and Cotch lead from the front.
* Free against Reece was stiff but 50 was there. As long as it's consistently paid I'm happy.

He is soft ... How's the no dicjheads policy going
PC bollocks
7th year no finals good blokes policy

Hardwick as far as coaches go is very conservative, he is not a risk taker and as a result his favourites are awarded games because he feels they offer the best chance of him justifying his position of coach. With finals gone its suddenly time to blood the youth and surprise surprise they perform.
Thats why i think his time is up, his game plan is prehistoric and he just isn't visionary enough to get the best from the cattle he has at his disposal.
How much better did we look tonight with some run and carry. With some (alot really) improvement in our disposal efficiency, a new more direct game plan and an injection of some class via free agency i still think there is an opportunity to turn this club around quicker than some people might think.

Free kick against Conca was ‘pretty stiff’
Sam Landsberger
Herald Sun
10 July 2016
DAMIEN Hardwick deemed a critical free kick paid against Reece Conca “pretty stiff” in a moment which cost Richmond the lead in the last quarter.
The ferocious Tigers looked like completing one of the upsets of the season before the Western Bulldogs rallied late to secure an important 10-point win at Etihad Stadium.
Marcus Bontempelli caught Conca holding the ball and the Tiger was then penalised with a 50m penalty for not giving the ball back in time.
That took Bontempelli to 10m out and gifted the Bulldogs a goal in the see-sawing tussle.
“I thought the free kick against Reece was pretty stiff,” Hardwick said.
“I think we’ve got to take the NRL to task and start doing the worm. Get that ridiculous rocking motion up and going so we avoid the free kick.
“(But) the 50m (penalty) was probably there I thought.
“I just wish they’d be a little bit quicker on the whistle at stages.
“The players are waiting for the whistle (for a stoppage), then all of a sudden it’s a free kick and then it’s a 50m.
“I dunno.”
The brave and rejuvenated Tigers threatened to deny the Dogs a rise into the top four with a spirited performance born out of heightened physicality.
The Tigers won the contested ball and Hardwick praised his side’s boost in tackle effectiveness.
Hardwick was thrilled with debutant Oleg Markov’s drive off halfback and guaranteed nervous forward Liam McBean a game next week.
Dogs captain Easton Wood took three telling grabs in the final quarter while Bontempelli sparked the midfield onslaught late and gamebreaker Jake Stringer slotted four goals after halftime.
Hardwick said youngster Jason Castagna was “pretty good” and that there were even more promising signs in the club’s VFL loss.
He said first-round pick Ben Lennon would soon reappear in the AFL side and was happy with how McBean started to fly for the ball in the third quarter.
Hardwick said best-afield Dustin Martin set the aggressive mode from the first bounce.
The Brownlow chance won 38 damaging disposals and eight clearances.
“Whilst we’re disappointed with where we are we’re also really encouraged to see the signs of those young players stepping through,” Hardwick said.
“He’ll (McBean) only get better for the run, he’ll play next week and the week after and we’ll make an assessment from that.”
The 6-9 Tigers will look to rebound against bottom-placed Essendon next week.

Hardwick buoyed by depth on Tigers' list
AFL.com.au
10 July 2016
DAMIEN Hardwick says Richmond has only revealed part of the iceberg when it came to the depth on the club's list and, despite going down to the Western Bulldogs, the coach felt vindicated watching the Tigers' youngsters shine at Etihad Stadium.
The Tigers took the fight to the finals-bound Bulldogs, winning contested ball (133-126) and leading at the 20-minute mark of the final term before going down by 10 points on Saturday night.
It was a much-improved effort from last Friday night's season-ending loss to Port Adelaide and, after making five changes, Hardwick was impressed by the debutant Oleg Markov and Jason Castagna.
"We've known we've had those guys for a while," Hardwick said post-match.
"I thought 'Costanza' (Castagna) was pretty good and Oleg Markov for his first game looked incredibly impressive off half-back, his run and dash and his ability to kick the ball.
"A pleasing thing for us was we had another couple of players stand up for us at VFL level as well.
"So while we're disappointed where we are, we're also really encouraged to see the signs of those young players stepping through.
"The thing they've got to do now is do that week-in and week-out."
Castagna kicked two impressive goals from 19 touches, while Liam McBean booted the first major of his three-game career in the frantic final term.
Hardwick promised the big man – who came in for out-of-form forward Ty Vickery – would hold his spot and have a shot at building on his six-possession game after hanging back from marking attempts early.
"There was a couple of instances in the third quarter when he started to jump at the ball and created a couple of goals through his ability to compete," Hardwick said.
"He'll only get better for the run. He'll play next week and the week after and then we'll make an assessment from that."
Markov (18 disposals) was scintillating with his dash off half-back and precise ball use, with the son of former world champion pole vaulter Dmitri looking like a steal at pick 50 in last year's draft, not that Hardwick was surprised with his composed effort.
"He looks a really good player, he's quick, he's agile, he can mark above his head, he wins contested ball. Our recruiting team have done a good job," he said.
Hardwick heaped praise on the physicality of star Dustin Martin (38 disposals) and skipper Trent Cotchin (28, one goal) after they almost inspired the Tigers to an upset triumph.
"It's where him and Trent have taken a step forward. They've always been pretty good ball players but the physicality of those two boys, they're leading from the front," he said.
Hardwick admitted a crucial 50m penalty paid against Reece Conca, which cost a goal to Marcus Bontempelli in the last term, was the right call, but lamented the original holding the ball decision and suggested players copy NRL players' rocking motion.
"The 50m was probably there I thought, I thought the free kick against Reece was pretty stiff," he said.
"I think we've got to start taking the NRL to task and start doing the worm, just get that ridiculous rocking motion going to avoid the free kick.
"I just wish they would be a little bit quicker on the whistle at stages. The players are waiting on the whistle, then they're waiting and all of a sudden it's a free kick and then it's 50m, so I don't know."

Bet he can't wait to coach all the flair & natural instinct out of them.
-
Dumma mentioned that we had a lot of young kids coming through that had good games at VFL. When asked what players, he named Lennon but couldn't think of any other players name. :rollin
Now that's a coach that knows what's going on :rollin

Bahhhhhha what did I say. Pat on the back for the umps.
This idiot is an embrassment to our club and just has to go
He was right on this, free wasn't right but the 50 mtr penalty was.
No it wasn't, partner the time of game, position on ground and the fact that the WB player was pinning Conca's arms how was he meant to give the ball back to him? From when WB player released the hold on him till time of 50m was paid it was about 2 and a half seconds. If that decision cost a team a GF it'd never be forgotten.

Actually WP the free was there one arm was free and he made no attempt to try and handball it.
The 50 mt. was a knee jerk reaction by the ump, one I believe he will be given a please explain by the umpires coach. (not that they will admit it)

Rubbish. Bontipelli had his hand on the ball holding it onto the chest of Conca. He was grabbed immediately too. He never had an opportunity to dispose of the ball once he got possession.
Just watched it again on the AFL app, last quarter replay.

just luv idiots that want the game umpired in a way that favours those second to the ball.
