Why are you going to sack him?

You can't and he won't be so I agree with Tucker your a funny bloke

[Phil Mrakov]

Whilst Hardwick has done GREAT things for the club, I mean GREAT.
I dont think he is a very smart coach. Last night really reminded me of the goldcoast game, kick a goal but then don't push our players back in the dieing minutes, or set up at the center square defensively..
Im not saying sack him, but he REALLY needs to learn from these mistakes.

I wouldv'e thought that with the addition of Choco and the expansion of our coaching department that someone else, along with Dimma, would be responsible for our failure to defend the lead. Surely, the defensive coach (Ross Smith?), would have practiced that all summer? Dimma needs to deal with him.
I also think that flooding back to defend a 5 point lead could also be counter productive with 2 minutes to go. A 6 point lead then fair enough but i always felt we needed to score again to lock the game away.

surely things like that are up to the players to implement themselves?

there is not much chance that the runner can get out and instruct the midfielders on what they should be doing between the goal being kicked and the center bounce.

Yes, that too! Can't sack a coach because others have failed to do their job. Or can you? Is it the coaches fault they cannot execute a  game plan when things are tight?Just playing the devil's advocate. Seriously though, Chappy, King and Morris may have helped in that situation but it is the players  responsibility.

[Penelope]

If players are constantly not doing what they should then you have to look at the coach.

when it only happens in pressure situations then it is down to the individual players.

[Smokey]

It wasn't Hardwick's fault they got that last goal.  Have a look at the yawning chasm of space our players left goalside of the boundary throw-in - the vision from behind the goals was damning and that is all down to the players lack of concentration and effort.

[Penelope]

Yep, and as GR12 pointed out, perhaps having chaplin out there may have helped prevent that.

One thing he does is take charge and make sure players are structuring up where they should be.
