Damien Hardwick on the Footy Show

[WA Tiger]

Yet very few accept Hampson, go figure.

Just Hampson?? Go figure..

Seriously - how can he keep saying things like its the strongest list in his time at the club.

We look like a bottom 5 club and a mile off playing finals.

Watching Amy on foxtel, looks like I didnt miss anything I havent already heard ad-nauseum

Clearly he thinks he's coaching is the worst it's ever been given he's led inferior lists to 3 consecutive finals campaigns

Rodney Eade did the same at the Swans, maybe not consecutive, how many finals did he get them into but they couldn't go to the next level. Malthouse was the same at the Dogs...maybe Hardwick is the same.

[Diocletian]

Eade got Sydney to a Grand Final in his first year, Malthouse got Footscray to a prelim. and did it with no money, in a time before drafts, salary caps & equalisation.

There r those who want to win finals and there r those who simply want to be invited and thrown out in two hours.

That's about it ...

Do you think it's the strongest list we've had?

Maybe on paper ( at the start of the year ) Definitely not in reality....and it is clear for all to see we are carrying players who are not AFL standard. Geez one could argue that Grigg is in our top 10 players at the minute.


Who knew Yarren would be plagued with mental problems. Conca would miss 12 weeks . Maric would become completely Irrelevant.  Vlastuin , B Ellis and Vickery all either stagnating or going backwards. Edwards also not playing at the level he was last year. Put into the mix a game plan that is unexciting and almost unwatchable at times.

2013 was the best list in Hardwicks tenure.  Players like Jackson , Matt White , Tuck and Jake King - none of them superstars , all of them malligned  but at least they made Richmond hard to play against.

true, plus how hard did Tuck have to fight to get a game.
I think that showed up Dimma as a bloke who picks people whose footy is not always based on merit, I think that affects the playing groups morale and coaches credibility.

It matters not whether you have the fastest car but rather, how you race it.
