If you could turn back time: What would your club change about 2016?

RICHMOND
Committing to Damien Hardwick for a year too long
While the Brisbane Lions and Collingwood chose to extend their coaches' deals for one year until the end of 2017, Richmond committed to Hardwick until the end of 2018. The coach deserved the opportunity to see if he could take the next step with this team, but immediate finals exits in 2013-15 did not warrant such a commitment and left the club's hands tied in a full-scale review.
An 'unintelligent' two minutes against the Pies
The Tigers will look back on round two as the loss that prompted their downfall. With an 11-point lead in the dying minutes, poor decisions let their opponents back in the game, and Magpie Brodie Grundy kicked the match-winner with four seconds left. Ty Vickery will rue a decision to centre the ball, rather than take a shot and soak up time with three minutes to play.
Not playing Oleg Markov sooner
The Tigers kept their first-year half-back in the VFL for the first five weeks before he was selected as an AFL emergency. He didn't make the final cut and then had to wait until round 16 to make his debut. On the evidence of the past six weeks, Markov will be a star. He has relished the responsibility he has been given in defence and who knows what more he could have achieved in his debut season if given a chance earlier?

I don't blame the club for Yarren - in theory it was the right move and sometimes you just have to take a chance ...Even Hawthorn get thier fingers burnt occasionally ( Dayle Garlett )
But Townsend and Andrew Moore , while improving the competitiveness of the VFL Tigers - have just stunk up the joint in the seniors..
I can't believe Port wasted a top 10 draft pick on Moore - what a lemon .

But if you could replay time again there is no way you'd grab Yarran.
