Sack Hardwick [merged]

[(•))(©™]

I don't think we will win another flag in our lifetimes. Our administration are amateurs when compared to the likes of Hawthorn, Geelong, Sydney and a few other clubs. Its sad but our club has lost its way and we are in the wilderness. We are so far from winning a flag its not funny.

Rampopolous is 100% correct.

It's not going to happen.

Shitmen.

Very interesting that clubs like Adelaide, Gold Coast and perhaps the Bulldogs are moving or preparing to move on coaches early in their tenure because they don't see them getting the results they need in the future.

Fremantle, St Kilda, Carlton, Collingwood, Brisbane were prepared to do the same.

Meanwhile Richmond keep trotting out the line that we are stable and we don't sack coaches anymore like a badge of honour.

I'd prefer to be a demanding club than a club that worries more about appearances.

Harvey was a good coach
Freo were bold to aim higher.

Why arent we whispering sweet nothings in Bombers ear?

MARK Thompson has been contacted by a third party about his interest in coaching Gold Coast Suns next season.

Thompson, who was caretaker coach for James Hird at Essendon this year, was told three weeks ago the Suns “were coming’’.

Speculation is mounting that Suns coach Guy McKenna will be sacked at a board meeting on Thursday night.



Why cant we be the ones coming?

coz Thompson would never go to a club that only recruits D grade players. He isnt stuffing stupid like others.

Christianson, beams, Frawley orokue ...

they don't fit the Richmond criteria of either being injured or moneyball cheapies.

Christiansen said he wanted to go up north for personal reasons - we don't fit the criteria.
Beams required pick 5, pick 25 and a good youngster - we didn't have the currency.
Frawley was one we could have got but he wanted a flag next year - we won't win the flag next year.
O'Rourke has not shown anything yet to justify his number 2 pick - absolutely nothing. Would have had to give up pick 12, which, if we pick well, will give us just as good a player.

problem will be if we come to the end of trade week and have done zero and by zero I mean either a)bring in some players to improve the list or added some extra draft selections between 13 and 30. If we end up with our current draft position then its been a complete waste of time for the 2nd year in a row. There aint gonna be any winning flags with this type of mentality. We are middle of the road at best and our best players are all starting to enter there mid 20s. Time is running out IMHO to do something with this group of players.

I agree - 2 finals series in a row, the second just scrapping in means its time to re-evaluate. For me it shows, we've come a fair way  but have probably hit the ceiling so need to do something courageous and drastic to take the next step and we've basically sat on our haunches and done very little.

All we can hope for now is we absolutely nail the ND.

[🏅Dooks]

Another critical component of another season passes, and all we are left with again is hope.

Geez Geez we don't even have a prayer

[Rampstar]

All we can hope for now is we absolutely nail the ND.

I don't have any faith in our recruiters finding anything after pick 12

Could trade out for another couple picks
