Whether people like it or not he isn't going to be sacked anytime soon

You flew up to watch that rubbish??  Poor bastard.

I booked the trip late last year

Go to a number of interstate games,

Caught up with a mate as well.

I distinctly remember Hardwicks first year he said this:

"If we lose by under 12 goals, its a coaching and tactics issue. If we lose by 60 points than its a player issue"

Well the last 3 weeks the coaching staff need to get a dog up them. Not to mention the other Tigeritis, Richmondy examples we've seen under this crab.
Go Tigers!

Fair enough WP

Dudwicks biggest problem is his refusal to put big names on notice

How bellis is still getting a game is beyond me.

Why do they need to perform when they know they are guaranteed a game next week

Lose by 59 or 61 points and it's a coaches issue but if it's 60 it's a players issue?

This should be fun....

Coach of the year

Damien Hardwick's remarkable turnaround of Richmond has won him the post as coach of the season so far.


Leon Cameron was considered as coach for leading Greater Western Sydney to the top of the ladder despite a lengthy injury list.

Also prominent in voting was Ken Hinkley for his role in charge of a resurgent Port Adelaide.

But only after Blamey fired all the coaches dimmer recruited, hired the new lot and put Caracella next to him in the box.

The charmed existence award goes to......
Caracella and Balmey.

Bachar Houli?
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

he's endeared himself upon the playing list as a nice guy with many shortcomings as a coach.

Enter Caracella and Balme and the whole thing changes.

If left to his own device. dimmer would still have everyone attempting
to play HIS crappy game plan, the one that overlooked the natural abilities of
every player and would still be trying to make them something they're not.

Having said that, Geez he has a charmed existence and it set to take the accolades for
something that mysteriously eluded him until he was told what to do.

Regardless, well done RFC. :clapping
That was stuffn awesome

Caracella and Balmey.

As much as I've given him crap for his mediocre game plan, soft coraling and his disregard of tackling pressure and finals footy hardness in the contest, I've got to say I must accept now that the players have his back and want to play for him.
He has admitted he was too regimental to his ideas but has let the fellas just play footy which is good.
Also he has been humble enough to change his useless coaching philosophies and willing to embrace the tough hard direct footy that can sustain in finals.

I didn't believe it but now I do.

I hope he can take us all the way.
The club that keeps giving.
