The Burning Question - is Hardwick right for Tigers?

Did Richmond do the right thing by re-signing coach Damien Hardwick for another two seasons?

Richmond have put their neck on the line and they might live to regret it.

Two clubs burdened by heavy expectations moved swiftly to guarantee the immediate futures of their senior coaches on the eve of the home-and-away season.

But while Collingwood have got the balance right in locking away Nathan Buckley for only one more year until the end of the 2017 season, the Tigers have overextended themselves – and unnecessarily so.

The move by Collingwood’s hierarchy looks a smart one.

An extra year gives Buckley some certainty over his immediate future and the peace of mind to coach without a metaphoric axe hanging over his head.

The deal’s short nature also sends the clear message that a return to finals for such a powerful club is expected.

Collingwood have the midfield depth to vault back into the top eight, but if they don’t and Buckley is not deemed the right man for the job going forward then the club has left itself some wriggle room.

Richmond have conversely put themselves under more pressure.

After three years of first-up finals exits, a win in September is an absolute must for the club.

But unlike some, I’m not convinced the Tigers are good enough to feature in September, let alone make it through to at least the second week of finals.

Richmond play two games in Perth in the first nine rounds and meet Hawthorn, Sydney, Port Adelaide and Collingwood twice in a tough fixture.

If they were to miss the crunch end of the season, they have painted themselves into a corner with Hardwick.

Would they continue to keep the faith or contemplate moving on a senior coach with two years left on his contract?

It is a predicament they didn’t need to risk. A one-year extension along the lines of that signed by Buckley would have been a far safer move.

The season opens at the MCG on Thursday night with the spotlight on Richmond. They would want to calm the nerves with a big win over a youthful Carlton to save any early finger pointing.

This thread is up to 10 pages, what's the guess for the increase of pages after a poor showing on Thursday night, have a feeling it will double in quick time.

Lol the right track.

Surely they are smart enough to put a clause in to a proven finals failure  coach about performance.

Details for the members please.

Seriously, Dooks are you that naive to think they haven't?

I get that it doesn't suit a purpose to assume they haven't but it is more likely than unlikely that they have got performance clauses. Actually I'd back it in

And do you really think a board is going to tell us the full details of an employment contract? No board is going to do that and nor should they

I don't  agree with the extension don't believe it was necessary, certainly not 2 years but give them a little bit of credit that all "i"s are dotted and "t"s are crossed

And before anyone suggest i accept mediocrity, i don't. But a decisions been made, let the games begin

You better hope to god

[TigerLand]

No sympathy for this useless pig. Gets a 2 year deal and plays his best mate Morris.

Corrupt. We lose tonight and this place should explode. Pathetic 3 qtrs.  Pathetic team selection. Pathetic list management over off season. Crap Ruck stocks. Crap small forwards. No pace. Did nothing.

Absolute corrupt circus.
