Completely different, there has not been any rumblings of Hardwick's future at all. The media were all over Wallace for months before he was sacked.

If we lose to the Pies and then the Lions I would expect the rumblings to grow a bit louder, at this stage he is safe IMO.

Wouldn't be much worse  but it didn't happen.

The main diff is that the tail was wagging the dog at that point. Thankfully that doesn't seem to be case at tigerland now.
Players sacking coaches is bloody ridiculous.

it was no game that had Leatherskin sacked. The players made it very clear they would not play for him. He even finally admitted this in a radio interview on Saturday. everything came out

I'm not so sure about that.....get the impression the senior playing group is mollycoddled and indulged by a coaching staff  that's far too "matey" with them.

Exactly nothing like it.
Terry had us locked and loaded and we copped an 83 point drubbing in round 1 to the slurry.
Club turned over 12 or so players at the end of the year and the rebuild was forced.
At least now there is a nucleus of of side and a spine which is more than Dimma had 4 years ago.

Our performances are worrying but the issues are manageable if Dimma can get back to his mantra on playing blokes who can kick, use the ball well and work hard for the team ethos.

Got to admit any other year we beat Carlton and I'd be over the moon, was quite hollow last week.
Nice to win but gee that was ordinary.
