Hardwick's post-match media conference

[TigerLand]

Yep agree only 6 played last night but there are 7 others taking up a list spot for us to unearth a kid through the Draft.  Tom Langdon is a perfect example. They happen every year. Kennedy Harris at Melbourne.  Shelton at St.Kilda.

We trim our fat and bring more fat in.

It was not circa 2010 it is deja vu 2002 what was displayed.

List is not good enough, hungry enough nor fit enough, and has peaked out at 5th.

Keep 4 of the top 5, trade those with currency, retire the 30+, cull the duds, and fully invest in the 14, 15 & 16 draft.

Yep, spot on

We didnt finish 5th. We finished our season being eliminated in the elimination final by a team that didnt even make the finals lol.

[Judge Roughneck]

At least a a couple would of been good young players on the list by now

Yes well l agree. l would not have got A Edwards or would l get Hampson when there are plenty of young ruckmen in Victoria alone who could contest in the ruck & move around the ground more freely with better hands. Every footballer no matter what level will always have 1 excellent game at sometime.  l think RFC only bought him to have his high profile girlfriend around the club in a potential sponsors gathering for the club that she could bring. More of a money thing than football IMV. if l was at the club in the recruiting job l would be bringing nothing but young players even if they are the last pick in our draft at #99. l would not have taken Thomas but would have got Petterd which dumbfound me why they dont use him at the feet of Rewoldt when Kingy is out. Shane Edwards should be left in the forward pocket or HFF as he is good at crumbing & has speed. his proved it often but his not a midfielder. last night we got caught many times going forward with no-one down there  only way to fix RFC is to cull the dead aging players & inject youth & continue to inject youth unless its a huge name player like a Roughhead or Franklin & seriously even l think they are just about done, These guys are all 200 game footballers now & 10 years or 200 games is just about the life span of any footballer unless you are a freak & a hard worker like Harvey (Roos) Fletcher (Bombers) for example. Deledio is near at his capacity as is Newman overdue. Players are over trained & asked too much of these days. Its not enjoyable for these youngsters anymore & thats why the best footballers are playing in local comps with there mates. A young lad in Hamish Towns at the Churchill Football Club Seniors in the North Gippsland Football League is 19 & a package footballer who rips it up. You will never see him in the draft, But he be a larger Brent Harvey if you seen him. Gutzy & skilled hard runner with 2nd & 3rd efforts & a excellent kick & kicks goals under pressure. these are the players clubs need to be trying to talk them into going in the draft. Simply playing football with their mates in more important than the spotlight of the AFL & big money

Tried the laugh therapy and it still did not work.

Much prefer the knashing of teeth and venting of spleen.
