It's the cattle. We have one of the worst lists in the AFL. It wouldn't matter who the coach was. The tactics worked for 2.5 qtrs until most of the players gave up.

Let's all (torch) just settle down a little. I know it is embarrassing losing to Essendon.

We all know the players who need to go, we do have some quality kids there, pump games into the kids and we'll be better for it next year.

And you may not think I care for you
When you know down inside that I really do

Hardwick was coaching well until the players raised the white flag. Hardwicks problem isnt that we will sack him, Hardwicks problem is that if he hasnt got the balls to trade out the likes of Jackson, Edwards and afew others THIS YEAR, he will probably lose his job next year and never coach again. Its his decision and his career, If I was him, I would trade out the 2 players mentioned, I would also look at what real improvement do the likes of Grigg and Houli really deliver for us as well. IMHO - Hartley did a poor job last year with Houli and Grigg. They cant help us be real winners IMHO.

this is out of the coaches hands.

if at seasons end he doesnt get rid of the spuds that need to go and we are doing the same this time next season, then he'll be in real trouble, atm he's done and doing all he can with what hes got

you're like a dog at a bone with those 2  10flags. They arent our problem imo. Yes they are good ordinary b grade players which is an upgrade on what we had! and we gave away f all for them so they were a good decision. You cant have 22 champions in a side, you need good solid soldiers and we are even lacking in that. They are not the issue

Craig Cameron has been at the club for 4 years. List manager and then boss of list manager.
Join the dots.
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

Agree with you, look I dont have any real problem with Houli or Grigg per se, I just feel that for us that we need to get a higher standard player thats all. As for Jackson and Edwards what can I say. Times Up. Hopefully Hardwick calls an end to their Richmond careers.

When you got a young undeveloped defence that are injury depleted any game plan will not save you.
We simply don't have enough classy players at the moment we probably need enough 2 good drafts.
