Next four weeks will be interesting.

Tactically will be challenged!

We have the players to win all four matches.

The question is ...

Can Hardwick's Game Plan beat Melbourne, Geelong, North Melbourne, Collingwood?
All bogey sides - so it's first a case of the players showing up with the right positive attitude, intensity and work ethic. No tactics, structures or overall gameplan will work if the players don't show up to play (see Bulldogs loss).

Anyone for Brett Kirk as coach if Dimma fails this year?

I would even accept Captain Kirk

I would be keen, what is he up to this year, he is in the media?? He would need the skin of a Rhino to coach ricjmond

Brett Kirk is assistant to Lyon at Freo.
OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.

dont think we can beat north. imo the other three games are all 50/50  at best. its funny and sort of says where we are at. some can see us winning all 4, others can see us losing all 4.

I think a clubs judgement can sometimes be clouded by the close relationships developed with players/coaches. An outside perspective would be an added bonus in assessing the weaknesses of both players & coaches.
Does anyone else think there is some merit in the club employing someone like Bomber Thomson to critique players, coaching moves, weakness etc completely outside of the inner workings of the club?

I think there is merit in it.

But I reckon the problem comes back to who do you get to do it without there being any possibility of bias or independence

I mean who do you get to chose the person to do the review? The board? CEO? Some sort of working committee?

Just think it wouldn't matter who got the gig different folks with their own agendas would complain

it would have to be a footy department appointment id say somebody that Dimma was comfortable with thats why I think Bomber would be perfect.

It's a great idea, but let's be serious, we have the right bloke sitting on the bench ready to do that job.
Enter Choco.
Will never happen because the club wouldn't like to hear that they are soft and can't make hard decisions.

The idea was someone disconnected with the club without the strong relationships that can cloud ones thinking.

Fair enough, my bad.
Like I said would be good for some to hear the truth.

it doesn't matter who coaches Richmond. the list management of the club is rooted. there are no leaders, there are no real superstars, there is nothing to hang your hat on. the list is rubbish.
