Our game plan sux - when you concede 20 goals a game plus often- you cant go anywhere. We need a coach who can bring a defensive emphasis to our game. Hard tough, controlled aggression, a game plan which sees players kicking forward and running forward- but also going back when required applying Sheppards when required, tackles when needed, blocks when its required and 1 percenters at all times. History has shown that the clubs with the best defence go to the big dance most often and take home the prize. It seems to me that Damien Hardwick would understand this best.

handballs along the ground,handballs at team mates from point blank range,kicks that go over team mates heads,and tackles that just dont stick,jogging instead of running your guts out...These are basic football stuff that need to be looked at
-
Yep - Can blame everyone down to the bootstudder, but when you look sideways or for eg wait for Cuz to lead 30 metres in the defensive arc before you deleiver under pressure, and then cough it up anyway there is a definite flaw in the game plan and discipline in the side ... Forever in hope
NB: HTF did the dawks ever win a flag - Because Geelong are friggen chockers! That's why.
Just pray to god Skunks dont pull one out.

they will come very close mate and thats scary for all.
I had this feeling about a month ago that they just might be the Dawks of 2008.
can only see Saints beating them and they are chockers. Pies have Geelongs measure so no problem there.
-
Better Defensive efforts yep that's the first point.
How about some simple skill being accomplished. Glad Simmonds is retiring I reckon the Hawks got 4 goals from skill errors from Simmonds kicking the ball too high or missing the target with a handball.
Decision making also. Edwards marking on 50 playing on then stopping when he is tackled. Those are elementsry errors.
Unity selflessness and team orientation would be some other things to work on.
If we can improve on those then we may be considered a team of some sort. Until then we stink worse than an infants diarrrhoea.

When did simmo announce his retirement?..i missed that bit of news

I am just assuming/ hoping. I do apologise. :thumbsup
Either that or he is delisted.
-
LOL..maybe if we all said it enough it will actually happen..sort of like communal praying
-
We need more than just Simmo retiring. We have alot that need to go because they dont go about their footy in the right way- some seem to have no inkling of understanding the defensive side of the game, others would miss the side of a barn from 20 metres when kicking, decision making from many is rubbish and some of the rest lack awareness = recipe for finishing bottom 4.

A new coach with all new coaching staff. A total cleanout no-one stays
Cut the alignment with Coburg as its pulling the club down.
Create new Richmond VFL team & appoint a coach who has no input with Richmond AFL side on gameday.
Until this is done Richmond football club will not fix any problems with skill level

I also agree with this.

Even though I dont rate him.
Would think a guy like Cleve Hughes career has been ruined at Coburg .
Any trade value he might have had has gone

Hughes will be better under new coaches
it no use cutting the talent until the new coach has a go with them except McMahon.
-
McMahon only got to us because of his ties with Wallace. But we continue to play him so this is down to Rawlings. And I think it is an error to.

Now you know why l get so heated :banghead them playing McMahon & not honoring Bowden to play to season out completely for the service he gave playing against huge forwards as a undersized defender. Bowden up forward would have been a benefit to the younger players
They wouldnot drop Richo who cant kick straight & let McMahon play

CORRECT.
I have said this a million times and I will say it again.
They have NO IDEA at Punt Rd.
If Jade had any ability as a coach, he should of re invented Joel as a forward for the remainder of the year, instead of sending him down to Coburg
Thats what coaching is about.
I would have also tried Tuck as a forward option as well, It a great kick at goal
-
This just goes to show us all why Jade does not deserve the coaching job as he has no idea.
I hope that we do get Harwick as I think he can pull a few teeth out just to show our mob what it will take to be playing at Tigerland.
And those who don't follow should be traded right away.
-
said it on the forum here before J that Tuck is very strong mark & great kick for goal
Tuck is very hard to shift body wise at any given time his so strong in the lower body
Morton is too predictable & is like watching a replay every week.
Rewoldt is scared out there & has no confidence at all & looks worried + has no lower body strength
Brown is becoming dangerous again. & Bowden would have been a great player to go through & nailing from outside 50
-
Brown is becoming dangerous again.
Only because he is playing for his career and he is hardly over awing at that.
Time for Browny to go unfortunately.
-
if its time for Browny to go then push him out.
