Sack Hardwick [merged]

[blaisee]

just on the op sack hardwick.
me i think hes done well with the limited cattle hes had at his disposal. as mick malthouse once said, as a coach you live and die on the backs of your recruiting managers and list manager.

looking at the list its been my opinion that it is ordinary and hes actually had that ordinary list competing quite well and in the main being competetive.
a lot of the strategies that the club has used to build the list have been very understandable.  some have failed a lot have worked.

 the next stage clearly is to take us from being generally competetive to being a force. a blind man can see theres lots to do to achieve that and that there has to be a good many upgrades on players to achieve it. imo over the next 2 or 3 seasons we need to make a call on over half the list. i could make a negative call right now on 12 or 14 of them and be real sure about being right.

dimma at the end of the yr will show if hes the right man for the job by recognising and cutting those who clearly cant take us to the next level.thing is he has to do it in a way that ensures we dont become uncompetetive again.

This is true, I agree

The players aren't good enough

We have to shake off the psychological inferiority complex.  It irritates me and it is reflected in the language used even by the club, it immediately creates a mindset of being inferior to the teams that have been floating around the top of the eight for some time.  I really hope they don't talk the same poo behind closed doors with players, they need to be arrogant, angry and be discussing how to pull these arseholes off of their perches not how they aspire to be like them... stuff THEM, they shouldn't be the poo on their boots!  Grow some stuffing hair on them peaches and start busting some stuffing heads, stop going to stuffing water whenever the pressure is on!

Excellent post Owl.

I have a question for you all,

WHy is it that port and nth and essendon, have gone right past us?

WHy is it that other teams have improved faster and for longer than us?

We better beat Port or the natives will be restless

Better game structure than us.

All three run, run, run, create, create, create ...

We have a better list than all three but not a game plan!

[Penelope]

Care to elaborate on the differences in our gameplan to theirs and what makes it better than ours?

[YellowandBlackBlood]

We have the right game plan.

It's the execution that often fails.

Players have to have sufficient will to have the work rate required to allow the game plan to work.

This is what we lack in many games.

This is also why the adage that the side that works harder (i.e. spreads from stoppages more, runs forward and back harder) is the side that wins, is so so true!

Just is, alright?
