Hardwick was ‘too young’ for top job (Herald-Sun)

[Diocletian]

Nobody told me John Lennon

Everybody's talking and no one says a word
Everybody's making love and no one really cares
There's Nazis in the bathroom just below the stairs
Always something happening and nothing going on
There's always something cooking and nothing in the pot
They're starving back in China so finish what you got


Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Strange days indeed -- strange days indeed


Everybody's runnin' and no one makes a move
Everyone's a winner and nothing left to lose
There's a little yellow idol to the north of Katmandu
Everybody's flying and no one leaves the ground
Everybody's crying and no one makes a sound
There's a place for us in the movies you just gotta lay around

Always hits the mark does John.

Too bad for him that Mark Chapman did too...

Halfstep is now off his L's, the training wheels are off.  Ready to rock.

He'll be like a new recruit.....

Locked and loaded...

Media have nothing better to do than write absolute trash about Tigerland & what is in it

I am staggered at some of the quoted comments in this article. While I am sure he said it in a joking manner, and it was probably recorded before the Swans loss, it comes across pretty badly now after one of the ugliest losses in club history.
His primitive views on people management aren't that surprising, although it is surprising that he admits them.
How he got such a generous contract extension is beyond belief.

Mrs Hardwick also thought he was a bit too young back then too. She felt he didn't always perform to a high standard.

[Diocletian]

He was too young, don't you think, to promise anything....

Apparently he's got the characteristics to be a premiership coach.

Can we honestly think of a more embarrassing 9 months. From Hardwick asking a game to be called off to this. It's been a dead set sitcom.

[Diocletian]

12 months if you count the EF, last trade week (Treloar, Yarran, picking up Moore) and the off-season (Yarran again, Martin media circus).....

Yes. 
Losing the EF to the 9th placed Scum 8/9/2013 & then losing the Tommy Hafey tribute game 17/5/2014.

Calling games off = Plan B.

Was he also too young to collect 700k a year?

Going to enjoy watching this flog marched out the door in 10 mths time

 May sound harsh but stuff him. How about being grateful your given an opportunity to coach a great club yet have stuffed it completely up
