Surprised there's been no mention of Wallace & Frawley.

People have been harping about it for nearly 30 years

Has to be










SHEEDY

But seriously, I am not sure the point of thread to be honest

Dimma will get a contract extension the only real question is how long will it be for IMV

But you see, it's not me, it's not my family.
In your head, in your head they are fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are crying...

Will all due respect WP, the point of the thread is to show that one cannot just say "sack Hardwick!" and end the conversation there. If he was to be sacked, someone would have to replace him who would do a better job. The simple fact is, it is hard to be sure that there is currently anyone out there who would fulfill this criterion. I am more than happy to hear people's suggestions regarding this topic.
OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.

I suppose it comes down to the fact I don't think he will be sack, seriously don't think it is an option and that he will get an extension.

Re your question asking is anyone out there who would fit? Are the answers allowed to included all current coaches even if they are contracted beyond 2012 or just former ones floating about in the media etc. Because if you are going to say "yep you can include current contracted coaches" then it becomes an even bigger hypothetical

I agree that he will get an extension. Really he hasn't done a lot wrong. He did the correct thing and has built from the ground up with very limited resources.
I don't think you can include current coaches as the successful ones will be retained and any failures that get the sack we probably wouldn't look at.

lol if mick was available we would be mugs to not at least weigh it up.

lets just say at the end of this yr we finish 13th a very real possibility.lets say our bad is still terrible and the good passable.

id say the spectre of malthouse is very real and very large.

it may be a case of hardwick doing little wrong but the best man for the job getting the gig. footy can be harsh.
