Title: Hardwick's under Medium pressure going into 2019 (Herald-Sun)
Post by: one-eyed on December 06, 2018, 03:22:21 AM

Damien Hardwick (Richmond)

Contract status: Signed on until 2021 in March this year after taking the Tigers to their first premiership since 1980.

Pressure rating: YELLOW.

Medium. The Tigers flopped in the prelim final and might have missed a window to win two flags if they can’t get it done with Tom Lynch. But when you deliver the Tigers faithful a flag you can do little wrong.

Yet Buckley is apparently under no pressure despite losing a Grand Final after being 5 goals up :huh3.

I get the Buckley thing, if they won’t sack him missing 4 finals in a row, then he’s got the job for life based on getting them to a GF.

I think we can conclude that as a coaching panel we’re not amazing under the white hot pressure of the opposition being in control of a game. Not an easy situation but it defines the champion teams and is the reason (along with our on field generals falling to pieces) why were not back to baxk
