We usually bag the players but here is a decent whack!
D. Hardwick.
ONLY positional change for the night was putting Simmonds are forward in the last 10 minutes of the game when he was completely SPENT.
How on earth can you play the same 6 players inside F50 and D50 for the entire game has got me beat.- especially when your getting FLOGGED
Then coached the second half from the bench and took notes and looked at the laptop the guy beside him was holding. 
Will say this, both B.Scott and D. Hardwicks coaching efforts this weekend were terrible.
We had players in the first quarter who""patsy caked "" the ball instead of grabbing it and taking punishment from the opposition and they werent even dragged.
Thats Auskick stuff 
NEVER EVER want to see Nahas again either. Schoolboy footballer
Jack, what part of Hardwick's pre-season message did you listen to? He is doing exactly what he said he would do - take the whole team back to square one, learn the simple defensive mindset needed to underpin his eventual gameplan, and then move forward in small steps as each one is learned - no deviation from that plan. And what are we seeing? Exactly that - gameplan kept to it's most simplistic, defence first, and no panic measures before during and after games. Breath of fresh air for our club to be not chasing rainbows and showing the patience to do the hard yards instead.

This is a professional sport as you well know. You improve players & set thier goals at the lower level. Get them to carry out their roles at that level & improve thier skill level, Confidence, & Strength. Most players these days are ready made coming through TAC or interstate Senior clubs. Sadly for us that level is the VFL Coburg side which has many AFL senior players who cant even beat Non Affiliated sides or even win thier set roles for the day. Players dont even wanna put in at that level or wanna be there.
Trying to do that at senior level is unprofessional & looks very ugly which of course we are seeing under every coach in the last 11 seasons even more.
Having kept senior players on the list & paying them huge money to play for Coburg & even the Coburg seconds is the most stupid thing l ever seen in football.
So having these players & playing skinny little lads that weigh below 78kgs & small in height when you have a player who is considered by the football people as in Richmond top 22 , Tuck who was one of our best performers last year is absolute craziness not playing him.
Tuck would solve our forward problem & can kick goals, has muscle & height, l just dont get it do you
