Only three or four playing at expected level, says Richmond coach Damien Hardwick

RICHMOND coach Damien Hardwick says he has only three or four players who have met expectations this season as the Tigers fight to get themselves out of a "rut" ahead of Saturday's crunch game against Greater Western Sydney.
 
The focus has turned to Richmond's playing list after a 2-6 start to the season, which hit a new low during last Saturday's 17-point loss to Melbourne at the MCG.
 
Following the loss, former Tigers star Matthew Richardson said the club was at a crossroads and needed to act on some players.
 
Speaking on Tuesday night, Hardwick would not be drawn on list management but he said the lack of players meeting expectations was a better scenario than some might think.
 
"For us it's actually a positive," he told Melbourne radio station 3AW.
 
"It'd be disappointing if we weren't winning games and these guys were performing above expectation.
 
"The reality is we've probably got about three or four that we feel are playing at expectation.
 
"I'm responsible for their performance and to get them where they need to go … unfortunately at the moment it's a fail in that area."
 
Hardwick said the Tigers were in a rut and had been "stuttering on and off" all season, with their poor performance a confidence issue.
 
He defended the club's recruiting, however, particularly the decisions over recent seasons to target recycled players, including Shaun Grigg, Bachar Houli, Ricky Petterd and Matt Thomas.
 
"Those players have contributed and brought exactly what we wanted from [them]," he said.
 
"The fact of the matter is the majority of our young talent is elite.
 
"Trent Cotchin is probably our eldest at 24 years of age, then you go down through there.
 
"We've had to rebuild with one arm behind our back, trying to remain competitive while a lot of those draft picks have gone north."

I'd rather have been less competitive and put more games into youngsters and the getter better draft picks because you finished a little lower. That's what not taking short cut means. If they're going to take mature recruits get former champs like Goddard or Chapman, not former duds.

That would mean spending $$$$$.

It's much easier to use money on cheaper bargain basement alternatives both players and assistants.

We market ourselves as being a Myer or a David Jones when in reality we are The Reject Shop.

Sorry this is RFC and you've been scammed.
Let big business pay FTF if they want.
I'll buy my memberships as per usual and that's it.
If RFC was on the stock exchange as investors we'd all be jumping out of skyscrapers.
