Balme said the same thing about the Cats. Premiership team has no idea too. every year i hear about how good this person is doing and how good that person is doing, well guess what we are still no where and still end up not playing finals.IMO this is what we need. No sugar coating, no pats on the back because you have done well in December. Talk is cheap i would rather coach let the players do the talking on the field

He also knows who is training well so why the eff does he have to broadcast it like your lovechild terry did time and time again. These softies need to earn praise in season proper not get it handed to them by a solid December or JanIts no surprise the other teams who adopted the Hardwick approach include Cats, Pies and saints. 3 out of the top 4 teams.Everything Hardwick has done since he arrived is something new and i am rapt with his performance so far.

I believe we are on the money with this blokeIt was unbelievable what was happening Daniel. Some even started up an internet campaign to try and pressure the club to appoint Rawlings. Afew of us, just afew held strong and wanted Hardwick to take over. Thank god we got a young bloke whose fair dinkum about coaching and not a wordsmith who just talks the talk and trys to sound good. Hardwicks will be the best coach weve had since Hafey.
Why1) He doesnt talk crap, 2) He understands successful gameplans and will introduce them to us,3) He is a leader, 4) He is placing emphasis on teaching rather just talking, 5) He has a plan and will stick to it unlike every other coach weve had since god knows when. And thats just for starters
