KB lashes ‘pathetic’ Tigers (Herald-Sun)

[eliminator]

As president of the sacked coaches league he did not criticize Hardwick once or his pathetic game plan.

Just to make it clear i ma not defending Hardwick he's lost me

But alot of what i saw or didnt see yesterday wasnt solely coaching it was the player related. The lack of effort, work rate, refusing to run, chase and application was the players. They deserve to cop their whack as well.

On that KB is correct they were pathetic

I think the players are to blame.

They have lost faith in Hardwick and his horrible game plan!

Players have lost faith in the difficult, confusing game plan and clearly don't care as a collective.

Hardwick has always been the problem.

Sack Hardwick!

Agree but it seems nothing will happen

[🏅Dooks]

If you buy memberships while hardwick is there, you're part of the problem

Im starting to realise this. Interesting conundrum for long term members....

Think yesterday was worse than the late 80,s era
Why ?
Players didn't want to play
Too see Cotchin throwing punches behind play when you are 14 goals down  aint leadership

Cotchin is far from the problem

[Diocletian]

Too see Cotchin throwing punches behind play when you are 14 goals down  aint leadership

But it is highly entertaining. Especially on that snot Green

Only entertainment I got out of the game

Deserved votes just for that....

[Jackstar 1960]

But you can't be throwing cheap shots win your getting pumped for 14 goals
No wonder we drop away quick in games
No leadership

[Chuck17]

It was probably throw a punch at the opposition or his own poo stuffing team mates

He's put his head over it year after year after year winning the hard ball

That's plenty of leadership. What else do you want him to do - write motivational poetry?   Only so long you can have a go at the captain before the eye turns to the idiots being lead

No wonder rance and Cotchin resorted to snorting blokes even if outside of their nature

[Owl]

The commie is on the money

[Yeahright]

That's plenty of leadership. What else do you want him to do - write motivational poetry?

RICHMOND immortal Kevin Bartlett says the club’s “pathetic performance” against GWS puts everyone on notice including coach Damien Hardwick.

His comments come just 24 hours after Tigers chief executive Brendon Gale guaranteed Hardwick will be at the helm next year despite the club’s poor season.

But Bartlett says fans are smart and know exactly where the Tigers shortcomings are and the club can’t afford another poor performance this weekend.

“Fans are smart enough to know sides are not all equal with skill, talent, size and experience and clubs are at different stages of development but what fans won’t accept is a lack of genuine effort by not having a go, appearing disinterested, refusing to chase or run hard and devoid of confidence,” Bartlett told SEN.

“Fans can see when sides are just going through the motions, Richmond on the weekend ticked all those boxes with an insipid display against the Giants ... such a pathetic performance has now put everyone at the club on notice.

“For it was an effort that could kill off the coach, it could kill off the board, kill off recruiting managers, kill off assistant coaches and kill off members.

“If the Tigers play like that again against Collingwood on Friday night then Punt Road could blow up.

“Four games to go to see some effort, and for the club not to be embarrassed again.”

The only thing I want to hear from this fools mouth is an apology to Dusty

How do players respond to a coach they don't believe in anymore?

The players could rally together, confront the coach and ask him to leave.....

Or they can just go through the motions & hope a severe thrashing will wake up the board to the mistake they made.

Either way the players are letting everyone know that they have no faith in him or his  "blueprint to success".

They're psychologically fried with confusion.

The seniors don't understand idiots game plan so what hope do the kids have?

Rioli will be stuffed if he plays under dimwit.

He is not an idiot. He just can't coach. However, he is a fantastic person.
