Sack Hardwick [merged]

[Jackstar is back!!!]

Problem with our footy club is we put up with this garbage

[TigerMonk]

what made me leave early was the way we kick to a player near the mark, they did it all day, kick the stuffing thing 55 metres to the next contest. It happened all day so the coach is not doing anything to stop it. SACK HIM TONIGHT

[pmac21]

Have never agreed with this tread but it is clear we need a new direction coaching wise.
Hardwick has lost the players and we need another rebuild as 15 players out there today aren't up to it
As a supporter I am absolutely gutted by what is served up every week.
If we don't make 6 changes this week (may as well play the youngsters) I am not going to or going to watch another game this year.

Just had a 5 min chat with Pres Peggy outside the ground
Discussed Hardwicks contract  .
Can tell you
We are in the wrong hands as she has no idea
She thinks are ok
There lies a problem
Would Eddie put up with this ?

We need a strong leader that demands the best and doesn't accept anything less than excellence.

A coach that hates mediocrity with the passion to stand behind the team ethos of striving for success. One who is ruthless in his demands for excellent practice attitude and application. One that doesn't bend or buckle until the ultimate prize is won.

This new leader mustn't be swayed by popular opinion or frenzied over enthusiasm that have brought about false hope.

This new leader must be such that everyone who enters the gates of the club knows that regardless of ability you are required to attain a standard that benchmarks the competition and sets them apart from any other team. They shall be known as the team of no compromise in its fanaticism for success.


Hardwick isn't this man and even if he was when he came he has certainly shown in recent years that he wasn't prepared to stand by his earlier convictions.
He's been bitten by Tigeritis and is a lost cause and another on the coaching graveyard that is the Richmond football club.

Another one bites the dust.

Club should be trying to get someone in like Brian Cook to come in and takeover as CEO.

Game plan is horrible and always has been!

Hardwick is THE problem!

He is soft towards the players and has NO MORE EXCUSES!

Dustin Martin, Nick Vlastuin, Ben Lennon, David Astbury, Alex Rance, Matt McDonough, Trent Cotchin, Jack Reiwoldt, Stephen Morris AT least had a crack and tackled, ran and took ownership of the football!

Everyone else including Brett Deledio should be ashamed of themselves!

dear me

[TigerLand]

Peggy can get stuffed.

[Rampstar]

I wont be voting for any of the people currently in the board. Enough is enough. They have to show some leadership. Its about time they actually did their jobs and actually looked at the real performance of the administrative and playing staff who are taking the pee out of everybody.

[Hellenic Tiger]

The problem is this.

1995 made finals didn't give the coach an extra year.

2001 we made finals on the back of some good footy in 2000.
Extended the contract coach players everyone went backwards.

Same thing with Dimma. Worked hard to get us t where we were 12/13 and with the extension we have gone backwards in all facets. Spud Frawley mark 2.

My daughter is 3 and she will be a teenager when we next make finals.

Club is repeating recent history and making the same mistakes over and over.

Need a big fish coach plain and simple someone who aint Malthouse and topping up his super but someone like when Matthews went to Brisbane be cold and calculating and prove he can coach and can change cultures within clubs and attitudes of players.

If Bomber is available at the end of the year throw Punt Rd at him. Dimma is either stuffed or he has lost the players. Either way after last year we should not be 2-6 now. Lose to GWS and Brissy is only holding us up.

[TigerLand]

Look what Paul Roos has done to a basket case. 

Look what Darren Lehman has done t with the Australian Cricket Team.

Don't like sacking coaches especially when it costs large $$ in pay outs.. but quality coaches get results. Quality coaches don't make finals and celebrate like the job is finished.
