'But if fans believed Hardwick was going to improve, and improve this team and then win the premiership - in a span of five years - they are deluded.'

LMFAO ! Our fans are deluded ? Coming from an Essendon supporter !  Hello pot , meet kettle !

Agree - too many undemanding, unquestioning brightsider shills & apologists.

Mark Robinson says every person at Richmond must take blame for Tigers’ on-field woes

Why can’t Cotchin be as demanding on-field as Jarryd McVeigh? Why can’t Deledio impose his will? And Rance more often?

As far as Robbo articles are concerned this wasn't too bad but he is wacko for pooling Cotchin, Deledio, and even Rance in this discussion. Cotchin, and Deledio are always in positions where they try and resurrect the team when they are suffering from chronic back pain from carrying over half the list. Rance is the only defender whom although has classic Rance moments provides run our of the D50.

Quite simply, without Cotchin, Deledio, and Rance we would be 0-10 and be worse off than GWS.

Actually found it hard to really disagree with almost anything he wrote and that's sad but based on where we are right now it's reality

Don't agree completely with his comments about Hardwick getting better as a coach in 4 years time but as I said agree with most of it

We are our own worst enemy sometimes

You know that don't sound as stupid as it does.  ;D Maybe the players are playing for the fans & not themselves.
If they played for each other then they would play better footy & win a darn premiership.
The Richmond fans are the most ruthless in the AFL,  not toothless like the Collinwood supporters or the cheating scum at Carlton & Essendon or favored by the umpires like Geelong Sydney & Hawthorn.  ;D
Maybe its time we encouraged the team & the club instead of wanting their blood every week & someone's head to roll.
Just maybe if us supporters gave it a rest & cheered them on that the 30+ years of wanting will change the culture.

l will be the 1st supporter to stand up & say l have been ruthless & trashed the players & the club & my own blood. So for the rest of the year l will put the sharp axe away.  ;D  l will cheer them on & think positive & hope they can turn their game around & have some good wins or even play some decent football for Geez sake.

maybe its us fans that can help change the culture. l watch Robbo all the time & you can see it he wants Richmond to be a great club & play great football. He even said this himself last night. he is frustrated like all of us.

Agree. Most of the article hard to disagree with.

It is the fault of the entire club-team selection, recruiting, culture and game plan etc. There needs to be an external review of the football department of this club at season end. It appears the media now have no qualms naming names the club shouldn't either.

They dont do external reviews. Its a protected boys club at Richmond and everyone knows it. They slap each other on the back and drink their own bathwater down there in the Administration and oh yeah I forgot they ask themselves everyday how they can get better and improve their own performance. Its a farce.

Not bathwater, toilet water

Robbo great article.

Now go to your office down Southbank in HWT building and write an article with this title with big bold letters and the headline.

EVERY PERSON AT ESSENDON IN 2012 MUST TAKE BLAME FOR THE BOMBERS DRUGS SCANDAL.
