The Hardwick Rebuild Is Dead Long Live the Next Rebuild

[Rampstar]

Finished. In Failure. We are a rabble. What a complete Disappointment. But I dont only blame Hardwick, this failure is the failure in understand that when you recruit rejects from other clubs under a moneyball scenario this is what you get - CRAP!

They talk big at Tigerland but once again they have come up empty. Just complete disappointment. Dont know what to say and we pay those idiots at Punt Road to produce this type of crap. They have no pride.

So whose available in the next draft folks?

Cant wait to hear during the week that we're gunna do this, and we're gunna do that.

[Rampstar]

Its over TM ... Its apparent to everyone who wants to live in the reality of our situation but we are know where near it and we cant be with this list of players. There are too many average players at Richmond and Moneyball has failed.

The one I feel sorry for is Brett Deledio. He should do himself a favor and ask for a release to go to a good club and try and get a flag.

[🏅Dooks]

Agreed

I have no problem with the moneyball things, Grigg was a definite upgrade on Collins, others like Houli etc. were upgrades on what we had at the time.

The problem is that we didn't go on with it, once we improved a little, the next wave of upgrades should have happened.

Sell high, like the Pies did with Dawes and Wellingham.

I can only laugh. Officially over. Typical giving us hope for a few years. Sick of this same poo over and over

Moneyball only allows you to get players from the bottom of the barrel. It doesnt make any impact in terms of getting in star players who can really help your club go up the ladder.

It's hard to watch tonight, Collingwood went bottom of the barrel too with White, Young and they're carving us up.

We been scraping the moneyball barrel for 4 years ... its now coming home to roost. We have very limited numbers of quality juniors coming through.

[TigerLand]

Disagree the 5% upgrades won't win u a premiership.

Grigg has not improved since coming to the club. If we drafted a kid who knows what he could have turned into. Sam Frost is a better footballer than Chaplin. Rookie player vs 400k dud.
Sam Lloyd been good.

Money ball is rubbish and the people need to take responsibility for doing the top up rubbish that ruined the club in the Frawley era.

Petterd
Chaplin
Edwards
Grigg
Hampson
Plus more

All average C graders. Best case scenario gets u a token finals appearance which is what we have achieved and thus have peaked.

Pathetic.

Vlastuin playing tonight. Lennon and McBean havent played and as such we dont know if they can or not. When McBean played preseason he was a long way off in terms of being able to impact games at senior level.

It's the culture of mediocrity that has to be addressed first.
 You don't just give the place a new paint job.

The coach that succeeds to clean out the virus of mediocrity the club will have success.

Raise the standard. Demand success. Lift the bar. Don't accept losing or failure. Demand excellence.

I thought Hardwick was the fellow but I was wrong. He's a hard worker but too soft.

We need a new coach. Start again.
