HOW MUCH PRESSURE IS EACH AFL COACH UNDER GOING INTO THE 2022 SEASON?Nic Negrepontis

25 January 2022Richmond has won three premierships since 2017 so the only pressure on Damien Hardwick is to keep the ship steady at this point.
While the Tigers will be aiming for finals and to push for contention once more after a 2021 season where everything possible went wrong, it would take something very out of the blue for Hardwick’s job to come under scrutiny – Brendon Gale is not Jeff Kennett, after all.
Hardwick has been at the helm at Tigerland since 2010 and given the enormity of their recent success, it’s hard to suggest there’s any real pressure on him barring a total collapse in performance.
The Tigers have been dealing with varying degrees of off-field indiscretions these last few years and there will be some pressure on the coaching staff to keep things in check, particularly in what will be another COVID-affected season.
Pressure rating: 3/10
