"This is as poor as we're going to get" - Hardwick

[smasha]

Unfortunately it is not as poor as we will get. Hate to say it but I expect we will get some worst floggings by seasons end.

He did say poor not pee poor.

[one-eyed]

We all knew what Dimma meant at the time but I bet some smartalec dill in the media will bring this statement up again

[Ox]

I dont think even they can be bothered anymore....they're work is done

[eliminator]

Hardwick's motives were pure. Agree with comments by smasha

[TigerTimeII]

hardwick wont last long if we keep being non competitive week in week out.  the score board does not matter but game plan and attitudes do

and at this stage we have no game plan and our attitudes suck

hardwick is delusional at this point and is a liar as well


he said from day dot if u cant kick u wont play, yet we still have moron players , repeat offenders that keep getting games

i dont wish ill on anyone but if guys like jackson rance nahas and all the others keep getting games maybe they should take on a tram so they wont get games

[Hellenic Tiger]

If you have 25 players on a list of 38 who cannot kick you cannot sack all of them at once. You need to select 22 week in week out. At least he is going to play everybody and see who can play and who can't. Another huge cull at the end of the year with delistings and retirements coming up.

[jackstar is back again]

we recruit 14 players, 10 cant kick.
Who do we blame for that

Martin can't kick?
Astbury is a lovely set shot puts Jack to shame.
Nason kicked two beauties today on his non preferred and after making some blues against Sydney by foot and in the first two games he has been kicking longer and more direct.

You can't put Grimes and Webberley in that category.
To be honest you can't put the skill errors of the team on the shoulders of first year players 6 games into a season.

A previous coach and admin have alot to answer for. We knew DImma's job was huge but somewhere we all hoped we would be better than this, heck even you said and this is not verbatim Jack that "we'll surprise a few sides this year". Unfortunantely Terry and his lack of any effort with his list under his tenure is killing us now. If a government is wasting resources and money and thus the economy is devalued then the fault is squarely placed on that governments policies not the incumbent government that has a huge job to rectify the problems. I blame Wallace for this not Hardwick and I'm prepared to give Hardwick those 3 years of his contract to get us going. Look at Dean Bailey's first 6 games of his tenure

Rd 1 Lost 104 Hawthorn
Rd 2 Lost 95 Bulldogs
Rd 3 Lost 30 Geelong
Rd 4 Lost 49 North Melbourne
Rd 5 Lost 43 Carlton
Rd 6 Lost 52 Brisbane.

Noone was questioning their gameplan this week rather their selection of Rivers as as opposed to adding another running player to their list. It is doom and gloom for now but things will turn around. When undertaking a total rebuild you won't go from cellar dwellers to competitive in the space of a pre season and 6 games. Everybody knows that.

 I went today
Was listening to Dermie on SEN at the ground
He said Astburys around the ground kicking wasnt up to AFL standard which i totally agree with.
Nason, kicks goals on his opposite side but is poor on his right side, work that out, he shouldnt be playing anyway, he might have kicked 2 goals but offers NOTHING when we havent got the ball NOTHING

And furthemore, I blame Hardwick for the apparent lack of game plan, continually playing players out of position, EG Lids , Tuck  and Tambling ( didnt play today ).
We are going backwards as a football club, not forwards.
The lack of effort today by mosy players was TERRIBLE.
As for Vickery, a disgracefull effort.

completely disagree with astbury comment, lovely field kick, dermies seen him for the first time and makes a comment based o a couple of unforced errors

as for Nason not doing aything off the ball, what drugs are u on???? this guy puts to shame EVERY SINGLE PLAYER ON OUR LIST when it comes to gut running and running off the ball. No one works harder to get into space than this guy. Pick different targets Jack

Dea and Rance as so poor, you might as well play White and McMahon.
THATS HOW BAD DEA AND RANCE ARE
Play Post.
Play Browne.  ( Vickery gives nothing when we havent got the ball, runs around like a girl flapping his arms )
Theres a start.
Have some structure in the team, we have NONE after 5 mins.
Be predictable to your team mates.
Example being first option is a handball then a kick, then at least all players know whats happening.
At the moment , its a complete mess, players dont know what to do. they handball to players standing there flat footed
who is to blame,
THE COACH !

Did you go to the game ?
I did.

WHO THE EFF SHOULD BE PLAYING THEN, JACK?  PLEASE, ENLIGHTEN US!

its not just about who, its about the attitudes and intent by the 22 that go out there

i dont care if we lose as long as we ave a dip

today maybe 4 players tried thats it

newman, polo deledio and thursty

as for astbury his set shots at goal are great but today his field kicking was disgraceful

thats it

riewoldt  should be shot, celebrating afet each goal he kicks, pull ur head in loser! 15 goals dwn and he celbrates like he is god

[jackstar is back again]

Have to laugh at Reiwoldt, kicks are goal and Hi Fives all his teamates when we ae 10 goals down.
The commentators say its laughable..
So do I.
