Hardwick can't take us any further

[(•))(©™]

Give Mark Thompson a 4 year deal

The same bloke who who said he would never coach us?

He'll coach us now. We have a decent list but nobody to steer the ship

we don't have a decent list. we have no leaders, we lack speed, we don't go hard enough at the contest, our players always want the easy option. you cant build a winning team with players that don't have the required characteristics for success. they are just an average group of players on big dollars who take the pizz out of everyone. Its a nice easy lifestyle.

And that is it in a nutshell.

Has been that way for 20 years.

Still some supporters on the DH bandwagon I Bomber e...

Its not about being on his bandwagon. Its just that the reason why we got Hardwick is because no-one else wanted us. Its easy to point to Hinckley but he was passed over by a few clubs too and at that time, Hardwick was clearly a better candidate. Perhaps not so much now.

We also think it is just a click of the finger and bomber will come to our door. He won't, if we sack Hardwick and approach bomber, it will reinforce why he refused us coach us to begin with.

GR12 is right I reckon but it doesn't take away from the fact that Hardwick is done and dusted.

as per the thread title, its now about if Hardwick can take us any further.

I am seeing nothing, nothing at all to suggest he can.

His time is up.

[Hellenic Tiger]

We are stuck with him. Plain and simple.
Throw the cheque book and our FTF dollars at Roos.
As illogical as some may see it. We need to do it.
Has to be a coup type scenario.
Something un Richmondlike.
Something that's not conservative.
Something to save us.
Cotch 25, Dusty 24, Lids 28, Rance 25 wasted away at this footy club.

Outcoached by first year coaches and blokes he'd never recruit as assistants to keep a coaching box mutiny at arms length.

I'd effin take Brendan Bolton.

[Phil Mrakov]

Should have sacked Dimma last year and appointed Bomber Thomson. We'd be on top of the ladder right now if we did

Doesn't take any poo that man

He's done, a side being coached by a bloke in his 6th season, should not be continually failing in the same way

You lot are unbelievable. Worst supporters. As soon as things look bad you all just turn in an instant. Hardwick has done great things for our club.  I agree, I dont think he can win us a flag but he has made huge improvements from the Terry Wallace days.

I agree we are light years ahead but our depth is wanting. We're still a work in progress.

Get Sanderson. Damaged goods but a great development coach. Their list is really taking shape.

Oops McCartney I mean

[Phil Mrakov]

We need a big name coach. Rossy Lyon, Roos, Longmire, Bomber Thompson (my preference), Mich Malthouse would coach this list to a flag. Worsfold even. All these guys are levels above Damian Hardwick

Forget throwing money at Dangerfield headhunt a proper coach

[TigerMonk]

Stop blaming the coach. It's the players who simply dish up that type of football. There is more than Dimma just coaching at Tigerland. You have a premiership coach in Choco Williams. & several other assistant coaches. The players are too blame !! The PLAYERS 

We have the players. They just need to want to win. just like other clubs come to play for the win nothing else.

to be honest Id get rid of the entire football department and about 16 players. but that's just me. Richmond needs to start again.

Thankyou. Sick of all these girls on this forum crying and whining when we lose. I don't think Dimma will take us to a premiership but we lost last night due to the players.

& it will take several years to mode another 16 players to become a playing group. Money & high profile players don't win premierships. A hungry group of players who want to win at all cost & who are prepared to sacrifice everything do. The window to win can be a once in a lifetime thing over a possible 1- to 15 years for many. Some don't see it over 20. Have a chat to Robert Harvey if you ever get the chance ask him. You will be surprised by his answers. Ask others like say Kevin Bartlett. He will tell you exactly how it is.
