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.
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
Wouldn't call them B graders Tony. Jackson could have put us 28 points up in the third and misses and numerous other errors. A Bgrader would be someone like James Kelly at Geelong who would come to us and be an A grader because we have a habit to inflate our own. Edwards takes the best mark of his career kicks it ten metres to the opposition. B Graders hardly. C Graders at best.
Sack Hardwick is just laughable. Dimma aint going anywhere but there should be another 8-10 on the list that will. Maybe then the gameplan will last four quarters.
Now that there is some off field stability at the club we sack Hardwick. Laughable. FIve weeks ago he had turned us from boiled lollies into chocolates.
These losses are blessings in disguise and in three years nobody will remember the previous era or the guys that were culled based on where we will be pushing assuming Dimma follows through with his cull and doesn't hold on to list cloggers
