Sack Hardwick [merged]

[WilliamPowell]

If we lose the elimination final by 10 goals - how many years should hardwick be re-contracted for?

Re-contracted?

He doesn't need to be re-contracted as he has a contract for next year

Finals wise - win or lose he shouldn't be given a contract extension IMVHO

He won't be sacked, and nor should he be

you must enjoy accepting mediocrity then?

Win a final minimun or he deserves to be sacked IMO or at the very least no further contract extension until Grand final 2016.

He hasnt performed to date and 6 years without a finals win is a mediocre performance in my eyes.

Arghhh the old "accepting mediocrity" chestnut

Not once did I mention a contract extension.

My view on that is very clear, win or lose during the finals he shouldn't be given a contract extension. Even if we were to win the bloody flag I wouldn't extend his contract but that's just me. There is no need for it when he has 12 months to go

All I've said is he wont be sacked and based on getting us to 3 finals in a row and how we are now playing (majority of the time) he shouldn't be sacked. That's go nothing to do with "accepting mediocrity" as you put it; all it is looking at where the club sits right now

[Francois Jackson]

im talking after the finals if we dont win one, not before.

His position is virtually untenable should we lose a first final.

[No More]

We've come a long way as a football club. instead of sacking coaches who kept us at the bottom of the ladder we now want to sack coaches who take us to consecutive finals series. 

[Yeahright]

People love bringing that up don't they? Becoming worse than some of Dimmas repetitive spin

It ain't going to happen mate. Roos is a flog if you ask me

Have lost a lot of respect for him since he took the dees job

Dimma has finally leveled his win/loss record as coach after taking over a team and list at the start of 2010 that was rated as being "worse than Fitzroy".

           W-L-D
2010:  6-16-0
2011:  8-13-1
2012: 10-11-1
2013: 15-8-0
2014: 12-11-0
2015: 15-7-0
-----------------
Total: 66-66-2  (50%)

If we win next week, then 2015 will become Dimma's best winning return as coach.

[mat073]

Won 24 of the past 33 H&A games - that's a winning record of 72 % . Well done Dimma.

Would it be fair to say next weeks elim final is career defining?

Not quite. 3 straight finals appearances is pretty impressive from where we were a few years ago. If we lose in another EF though then there will be a lot of pressure next year to prove he can win a final.

What's wrong with that statement. What do you think will happen?

[rogerd3]

Don't be surprised to see an extension shortly.
