Back by popular demand (unfortunately I couldn’t kick off the old thread again so mods feel free to merge if you cbf).
What are our options?
Teaguey will be available soon?
Or what about Jono Brown?
-
Needs to work on a new game plan and adapt to the new version of the game which completely sucks by the way.
-
Game plan A: Rely on Dusty
Game Plan B: Stuffed if Dumma knows

:lol
Benny needs to get on the phone to Mark Neeld I reckon.

Where Matty the Perth Pizza Man? #inblakewetrust :shh

Would be nice to get Leppitsch back. :rollin
-
Reckon the game plan is just fine, unfortunately the execution of it this year is horrible

Agree Dusty is a gun

Stoppage coach goes for not protecting the defensive side and allowing oppositions to just waltz out the front.
Forwards coach goes for the tripe that is our F50 entries.
Can we get fitness coach Rob Inness back from the Swans? We didn't play a 4 quarter effort all year.
Can we also get a new tackling and goalkicking coach.
-
I really don’t want to hear any more “we don’t rate centre clearances” chat from Dimma.
It’s clearly a massive weakness that needs addressing.
-
It's all very well not to "rate" centre clearances but you have to at least be prepared to defend against them.. :shh..
-
stuff me Damien.
I'm sick of hearing how well opponents looked and played against us. Probably a reflection on us if it's happened every week for the last 10. Maybe we are easy for sides to play well against lol.

Interesting point. One of the main factors IMO along with injuries, and losing the assistants.

Agree re the assistant's
But I do reckon the other cuts in the footy department have impacted too.
There are a lot of good people who lost their jobs. People that although not a a coach or a recruiter (the front line types) that has gone and these were folks who were close to our players. Our footy department are very close knit
I've no doubt that's had an impact too
-
An easy way for us to circumvent the stand the mark rule is to get 5 meters behind and move laterally to cut off runners or easy meters gained. I can’t believe we didn’t try this as much as possible.
-
No assistants no dimma. His last year should be next.
Teague :lol :lol :lol
-
This is embarrassing if serious

Al Clarkson agrees. :shh

Hardwick is a 3 time premiership coach. You dont sack 3 time premiership coaches. You just get realistic about the playing list and continue the rebuild, which fir me started at ladt novembers draft.
-
Hardwick was a three times premiership coach because of the right assistant coaches.
We have lost all the ones that matter and left Hardwick exposed.
-
Ahhhhh back to the old give all of the assistants the praise and Hardwick none. The assistants chopped and changed through the dynasty years. Rutten left after 2018, we won 2 flags after. The great Blake caracella left after 2019 and we still won a flag after much to many’s opinion that he was the brains behind everything.
We won 3 flags in 4 years and some on here think that would go on forever? The lions peaked and then dropped away. The hawks peaked and then dropped away. It’s the nature of the game. Key players get older and the drop in quality comes.
Be grateful that we actually capitalised on our success and won 3 flags. There’s been many top sides who were pegged to dominate for years that didn’t.
-
His time is up. Had his time in the sun and now more interested in shagging the help than winning anymore Premierships

I suspect at some point this year, whether it's mid-season or September, Hardwick will come to the hard realisation that he's starting again (if he hasn't already) and then he will need to ask himself if he's up for the rebuild or wants to move on.
I think there was a proud part of him and the club that wanted to see if 2021 was just ruined by injuries and we had another flag in the list. There was a recent article suggesting our 2021 injuries masked the decline of the team and I do wonder if that's true.
Will Hardwick stay and rebuild the list? I actually don't think so. He will probably give it away after 2023 or so and we should all be grateful that we had him.

There could be a few teams after new coaches, GWS, Port, WCE and Norf could sack their current coach. Would any make Dimma a godfather offer?

Great post always say that to my mates we took our dynasty with both hands 3flags in 4 years and back to back can't ask for more sooner or later ride comes to end it's about how we rejuvenate now and not wait another 30 years.
-
If Dimma leaves (we wont sack him) our supporters would want Clarkson but Id go to Caracella and give him a shot at it.

Ordinary comment on so many levels >:(
-
How were Hawthorn going in Clarkson’s last years?…
Not much good and hes supposedly the best coach ever.
You’re only as good as your cattle and right now our cattle aren’t that good.
-
Has anyone ever coached a club to two separate dynasties? :shh
-
Sheedy kinda…?
-
Sheedy didn’t get a single dynasty let alone 2.
-
True. He had success with two different eras though I guess, which is rare.
-
Thanks guys for getting this thread going again
-
It really needs to be stickied...get it done Chucky.... :shh
-
I wanted to join it onto the old one as there is some gold on there

Damien Hardwick hasn’t suddenly become a poor coach because his Tigers missed finals in 2021, lost a few games this year and are up against it to add a fourth flag this season.
Richmond have become a lesser team than their peak because their stars are no longer at their peaks (or in Dustin Martin’s case, not there at all for the time being). But that is the natural evolution of a team. That is, we accept Hardwick is a good coach because we have tangible proof in the form of three silver cups, though his players have aged and the list is in transition.
Hardwick is – rightly – not confronting any questions because he has three flags and the certainty of his standing in the game and at his club as his team endures a period of vulnerability. In contrast to other coaches, someone such as Hardwick is a comfort to their club as they seek the next iteration of their team. What Hardwick’s presence says to Richmond is the coaching is one area they don’t need to worry about as they evolve the list.

Robbo urging Essendon to ask if Hardwick is interested in being a director of coaching
-
Hardwick will go to GWS and Clarkson to GC next year. Chris Newman back to the Tigers

Disastrous result for our club if we lose Hardwick and put in Newman. He might be a former captain but it would be a bad bad result. The only assistant Id give the job too is Caracella. Bring back Grigg and Newman as possible assistants.
-
Yeah Newman will sort out our lack of defensive accountabilty,,,,will probably make Shortsteps & Ralphsmith co-captains....leaders in his own image...... :shh
-
I would give Leppa a go as well if Hardwick left but we need to build our assistant/ development coaches as priority
-
Wouldn't consider Newman at all.
-
Sheedy didn’t get a single dynasty let alone 2.
From 1983 to 1990 you could argue that Essendon had a dynasty. They reached the grand final in 1983 and 1990 and won the grand final in 1984 and 1985. During this period I think you have to take into account they were up against arguably the greatest team Hawthorn has ever produced.
-
Ross Lyon would at least sort out our defensive issues..... :santa
-
Sheedy didn’t get a single dynasty let alone 2.
Sheesh i really wish supporters would apply the same standards to others that that they apply to us.
FMD From the time Sheedy took over essendon in 81 he would have had the most sustained period of playing finals od just about anyone.
He may have only coached a lazy 4 premierships but with a touch of luck it cold have been 6 or seven.
I dont get it i revered Sheeds as a tiger player and at no time have i ever begrudged him his success elsewhere. That success is significant and should not be muddied by nuff nuff one eyed supporters who cannot see past their nose.
If Richmond had had the sustained sucess that is playing finals and contening and winnig flags that Essendon had had from 81 to 2004 then you would be peeing your pants with glee over him.
How about just a bit of humility and afford others a bit of due credit where it is deserved.

I didn’t say anything negative about sheedy. I just said he didn’t coach a dynasty team. Dynasty teams have been defined for a while now as teams who have won 3 flags in short succession. Bombers never accomplished that under sheedy. If you want to call a team a dynasty just for ‘challenging’ for flags then Chris Scott would like a word….
And spare me with the humility and bit of due credit talk. We’ve won 3 flags in the last 5 years and 95% of your posts on here are crapping on players, coaches, team selection, footy department and on and on and on……
-

Would be great wouldn't it? ::)
-
“Humility and due credit” from an internet warrior who spends his days constantly bagging our coaches and players even during dynasty years…. :lol
-
As I said if it was choice I would bring Leppa back not interested in Newman.

Didn’t he jump on straight after the 2017 flag letting us know who should be dropped next year

In fairness he said he would sail off into the sunset and wouldn't post again. But he returned eventually, likely after a loss.
But hey, he's annoyed me over the years and I don't always agree with him but he's entitled to his opinion. People don't have to respond if they don't want to.
-
Shane Edwards has been a star person and player for our club and deserves to play out the year in the seniors imho baring injury.
He is a real mentor, coach and example to many around the club and needs to go out in style when he chooses to go.
I hope there’s a spot for him in player development within the club dependant on salary caps

Sure he is as is everyone. But let’s not pretend that a significant amount of his posts aren’t berating people for not agreeing with what his saying.
