Sack Hardwick [merged]

[Hellenic Tiger]

Yep Benny has been talking the talk without walking the walk.
3-0-75 will be his waterloo.
The fans will crucify him quickly much like Greg Miller.

Think Benny's honeymoon is over.

Yep once results slide no admin person is safe at the club.
Sentiment changes quickly and the sad thing is 2010 all they had to go on was our good will as fans and our trust in them to turn it around. They have failed abysmally.
Today's result on a day a Club Immortal is being honoured proves this.
The rest of the year is academic results wise from my viewpoint.
You can't win today then don't write cheques your butts can't sign for the rest of the year.

The Skata Cycle. 32 Years and Counting. Plop Plop  Plop.

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 ?

I'm pretty sure Eddie wouldn't out up with you either.

come on guys get real with Benny Gale here.......WTF is he supposed to say up until now........it starts with the coach and half the cattle are stuffed.......

Brendon needs to show some mettle and get rid of some people working at the club. For a start he should sack on Monday anyone who recommended Chaplin, Hampson or Grigg to the club, then he needs to do something about the fitness unit at the club coz our players arent fit, after he sacks them he should go down to the dressing rooms and hand out the Do Not Come Monday to Chaplin, Grigg, Hampson and any other dud on the clubs list. After he does that he should apologise to the supporters for failing to meet the 3-0-75 plan that he himself stated and then he should sack Hardwick. When he does all that he can stay if he doesnt then he can and work somewhere else as well. It was Steve Wright who delivered the facilities at Richmond whats Brendon delivered besides paying off the debt from supporter contributions?

We have not changed our game plan from last year and have been found out.

Not sure about that Stripes.  I reckon I've seen a distinct change in game style since the first practice match and it hasn't worked for us at any point.  Chuck in the loss of confidence when it fails and you have the recipe for the current malaise that is RFC.  We've gone waaaaaay more defensive this year and all that's done is negate our strengths and highlight our weaknesses.  Result was always a foregone conclusion at that point (spoken from the wise position of hindsight).

yep agree with this.  You must set stretching targets here the 3-0-75 was no doubt stretching but why set a pee poor mediocre target if we reach we will be satisfied with.....Now is the time for strong leadership at the top from Benny......tough decisions must be made for the good of the club

Would Eddie put up with this ?

Honestly? Yeah he would actually

You and I both know that if the Pies were where we are right now he would do absolutely nothing because Nathan Buckley is in Eddie's world untouchable

WP eddie wouldnt be in these shoes so no point even discussing it.

What is it. 10 years, 2 coaches and 1 final where we lost to 9th.

only that happens at the RFC. We have given 3 coaches 5 years each now its time to send Dimma on his way and be done with it.

3 5 year plans
4 finals for 1 win including a loss to a 9th placed side
every other side since 2000 has at least participated in 3 finals series for at least 3 wins.

[Diocletian]

5 year plans - worked well for Jo Stalin.

Facts are Angus that Dimma isn't going to be sacked. My view has always been that while Benny is CEO then Dimma won't be sacked.

Although I am bloody angry at the moment because our season is now blown away completely (was after Hawthorn but today just nailed it shut) I am interested in seeing what Hardwick does. Seeing if has any guts at all

The remainder of this season is about whether he is prepared to finally rid us of those who have constantly let us down for the last 2+ season or whether he just continues to back his favourites.

[Rampstar]

he'll probably drop Griffiths, McDonough, Lennon and any other kid who shows some potential lol whilst the likes of Grigg and co. get games irrespective of performance.

If he does then the remaining two years of Dimma's tenure will mirror the final two years of Spud's.
Will be depressing to watch. Club on field will be virtually stuffed.

...and London to a brick Cotchin & Martin wouldn't be sticking around for the last year of it either.

Mind you, who else on our coaching staff apart from Chocco, Lade has any credit? Look at other sides coaching staff, you see them and think I remember him he was half decent, Danny Daly????
