How is Hardwick escaping this???
« on: May 19, 2014, 08:18:17 PM »
Why isn't Hardwick and his game plan being questioned???

There is Vickery, Grigg, Chaplin and Hampson who shouldn't be playing, that's a given.

That's only 4 out of 22 players ... we have good players that follow a horrible game plan!

Jackson, Foley are questionable by foot, personally I wouldn't be playing them.

Morris, 100% courageous, but 100% hopeless by foot.

Hardwick doesn't want to drop these players. He should be under the pump!

What happens if we lose to GWS?

Will you sack all the players?

The issue is clear, can the game plan or change the coach!

Media like him and he has 2 and a half years on his contract left.
The media like to smell blood.  When so much time is left on a contract they don't get a whiff!  So they stay away.

These are the facts unfortunately! :whistle

Suggest you watch Footy Classified this evening

Sure Caro will give him a few whacks like she did on the wireless yesterday  ;D

How has Edwards escaped it for so long, how have most of them escaped it for so long? Because they are not held accountable....

Heard use the excuse the other week that the other side was awake to us and wouldn't let us get it to the boundary to set up our structures ffs.
Against melbourne constantly poked nit into the pockets where Melbourne won the contest or defeated our "structures" ffs hardwick try something different.
Plenty of time there was a hole up the middle in front of goal a player could of easily doubled backed into and at worst with a spilt mark a one on one in front of bloody goal. FMD I am so angry. We are total rubbish.
On tommys day melbourne went harder and wanted the ball more, they make me sick at the moment.

Lets be a bit sensible about this

HARDWICK HAS BEEN THROWN UNDER A BUS BY OUR ADMINISTRATION

They sat back and watched as Leppitsch and Campbell walked out to new jobs and replaced them with inexperienced and probably cheap salaried individuals who should be coaching down at the Eastern Football League to get an apprenticeship instead.

Don't think those guys topped up our list with a bunch of duds

Regardless I see your point

 Tim Clarke is doing a great job
Mcqualter what a fine pick up he was and Bailey was he even a good ruckman

Honestly I bloody wonder where that FTF money goes to cause it ain't going to quality assistants as most of ours are rubbish

Well Bailey did play in a winning GF last year, they dont' gift games at Hawthorn but I digrese....

I take it you haven't seen the Fox Footy Doco on Max Bailey coming back from 3 knee recos and playing in last years GF for Hawthron Angus?

That doco gives a bloody good insight as to why you'd bring someone like Max Bailey to the club.  ;)

A lot of D graders played in Grand finals. Far too many to mention. Bailey was an average ruckman for his career in a great team, lets not forget that.

Good on him and i respect him for that but i laughed when we brought those 2 to the club and i still do now.

What good has it done bringing him, the players are still spineless.

We need tough assistants who have been in the system for a while not pansy's like Daly, Clarke and Williams

Mcqualter, LMFAO

LMAO at those criticising assistant coaches when I doubt you'd have a bloody clue what they bring or don't bring.

let me check magic.

Astbury the only guy improved in season 2014.

We are currently 16th with 2 wins.

Played 1 final and lost to 9th

Our reserves side has done SFA in god knows how many years. Our forwards have gone backwards in a massive way.

Dont be naive these guys are not the right fit if Hardwick wants to see out his full term.

We need some guys who understand the game and have been around for a long time. I would try and make a play for Dew and Ling.

Throw the kitchen sink at both of them or here's a thought throw our bloody money at them that most of us have poured into that club.

Dew is doing a fantastic job up there in Sydney, he would be my first choice.

Mcqualter, give me a spell. He comes from the only club in the land that makes us look good and thats shitkilda.

Why would you bring McQualter & Bailey to the club. l know McQualter ain't got what it takes to coach. He only just made it as a player. Bailey is no different, He has no coaching experience at all. That is a major problem at a professional club. Hiring people who themselves are still in the learning process. FAIL l think this alone has caused the club to go backwards. Just because your a premiership player don't mean your going to be able to bring something to the club. & l personally wouldn't be bringing a person to the club who played in last years premiership side, Who would be loyal to his ex team mates at Hawthorn who could be leaking anything outside the club. l have no doubt this goes on in the AFL.
