Demons and Dogs -Tigers ?

[WilliamPowell]

Think some posters here should take the blinkers off
Have a look at the ladder
Have a look at team selection at punt rd this year
Have a look at drindling attendances and if you still think we are headed in the right direction .you have rocks in your head
If we cannot make significant improvement for the rest of the year Hardwick will have to go
We will lose 20,000 members so it will become a footy and business issue
Club is a mess
22.000 attending yesterday says it all

Jack, in your view he has to go but the reality is whether you like it or not and clearly you don't he will not be sacked. Not this week and not at the end of the season 2014.

It simply isn't going to happen, right or wrong it isn't going to happen

You can throw up all the points in the world and I reckon like YBB said very few will dispute them as the majority feel the same way but it isn't going to make any difference, he will not be sacked

To keep bringing it up is pointless as it ain't going to happen

[Judge Roughneck]

Give it a rest Jack

They ain't going to sack him so deal with it

Whether it right or wrong, bottom line there will he no coaching change at the RFC

As I said deal with it

You deal with low crowds and shyte supporter moral

[Judge Roughneck]

Ok, so we sack the coach. What will it achieve? Instant results under a caretaker coach.
Who else is available for the big job next year? No-one really, so we may just end up with another hardwick type coach anyway. But it will cost us a few million bucks on a contract pay out plus send a message to the playing group that they were never responsible, just like we have since Hafey last coached.

Sacking the coach works for free port Melb saints - but not us?

Perhaps  new coach would revitalise the group. Focus on long term goal and play kids.

I can't think of a more failed season in my lifetime to be honest.

Its been a disgrace. Something has to change. We can't sack Hardwick and waste the FTF. If he hadn't been extended he would be holidaying since the Essendon debacle. We are locked in now thanks to the inept board. Life goes on.

Need to change the coaching structure and game plan, on field leadership needs to be looked at and the awful management of the playing list and moneyball / recycled merry go round needs to be reviewed intensively

2009 is up there. Locked and loaded. We were fornicated and fizzled by quarter time against Carlton.

[Jackstar is back!!!]

Something has to change
He refuses to play guys from the VFL who should be given a game to see if they can play

[eliminator]

At the end of the season it is clear there has to be a review of the football department. Consideration should be given to sacking the recruiting staff and assistant coaches except for Choco. There needs to be a culling of the list. There needs to be an emphasis on drafting the best available youth. To reignite interest in the club drastic change is needed. It is not just Hardwick at fault it is the players, team selection, assistant coaches and the recruiting staff that are at fault for this mess.

Funny how a certain poster starts up the " sack the coach".
Deja vu 5 years ago re: Wallace.

I intend to start one for the next joker the day he signs if his press conference isn't up to scratch.

just to keep him honest 

[Yeahright]

How come Choco's head isn't on the chopping board? People were claiming he was doing all the coaching behind the scenes last year and was the real reason we were playing good footy. Funny how that changes when we start losing.

Watch this video of the demons. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Zu7xRhklIU
Can't believe they are now head of us in terms of development in 8 months or whatever.

If you go to 1:30 you will see Melbournes captain running it out of defence at full pace ( havent seen cotchin do this, likes to jog along )
Then you will see him pass it to a team mate slightly more in board. This is something we do wrong all the time... from here the play immediately turns into the corridor to kick it long into the FWD line, our players would attempt to go back down the line by either kicking it long to the pocket or trying to give the ball back to the captain who is not in a good position and has a man on him with supreme pressure. Something similar to this happened with Dea and Cotchin. Our players get scared and give it to Cotch no matter what, gotta feel for Trent as his form is obviously taking a hit due to his team mates and the massive pressure.
