Will pull my FTF payments and down grade my membership to a 3 game membership and just watch the game on Fox Footy next year for mine.

Real shame, as with the 2's being at Punt Road, going to the footy should have been an absolute day out this year. Have not had 1 single positive day at the footy yet. 2 wins on the road and a get out of jail vs Carlton is all we have to show for all our investment.

I can deal with losing, I can deal with us being 'Richmond' but I can't handle being unentertained and having to put up with wacko players and coaches been given big contract extensions when they don't deserve it. Makes me sick we couldn't keep a Matthew White who grew up barracking for Richmond yet we can resign Shane Edwards for 2 more years when he would be lucky to play at any top 8 club....

I'll keep my membership but as others have intimated other than my membership and such they get nothing from me and I will indicate that each time the club calls me to "sell".

I want my mid year survey from the club.

We got two last year one in June one post season.

Wonder if the club has the same intentions. :shh

getting him back was like getting another first rounder, same poo Hardwick said three years ago.

JON was a 1st rounder, maybe they meant a 1st rounder like that.  :rollin

And Foley is still not the worse person on our list.

You would make more money / loss less money

By sacking hardwick, hiring a good coach

Due to potential loss of memberships and sponsors during the next few years ....

Yes but a loss in membership may mean a steady decline in income that can be budgeted for, a multi million dollar payout is immediate, not budgeted for and would probably have to be borrowed therefore attracting interest payments. It would cost us plenty.
Also, we have a definite problem in attracting the best coaches to our club, another sacking would compound that problem.

Why is it better to lose money slow rather than. Fast via budgeting for it?

How do we budget - employee less gym staff or toilets at Po?

Lack of ambition cause interest payments are holding us back...

If people are frustrated with Hardwick's over-reliance on zones then, considering the rule changes he's just proposed, the last coach we need is Worsfield.

Do you remember SOS? We will head back down that path. 2 million bucks gone in an instant must be better then 2 million lost over a period of time.
Anyway, my main points is, you can have all the ambition in the world but facts are no decent coach wants to come near us as there has been little job security. Sacking another coach will only reinforce that perception.
Let him see out his contract, give us two more years to go after the best man available and save ourselves a couple of mill. Or wait till he resigns.
