I think Mat from Perth should read this twice just in case he doesn't get it the first time. 
Caracalla has definitely made a difference but he is a by product of having a strong CEO and President . We finally have leaders who do not react to the hysteria of the masses. We are currently seeing the fruit of the review the club made at the end of last season .
Surely we have moved pass this notion that one man can be the savior of the Richmond football club .
Caracalla was at Geelong for 7 years and the joint didn't fall apart when he left .
Richmond has been strong this year because the whole organization is strong for the first time in over 3 decades .
When Hardwick arrived he said all the right words we like to hear. He spoke about pride in the jumper and tough, hard footy, he said if you can't win your own ball your not getting a game and let's not forget his "blueprint to success".
What we saw in 7 years was the opposite but we gave him some grace because the team was crap. He brought over his useless mates from Port too. Then as the gun players got more experience we saw some wins but what we didn't see was what he said we'd see but we continued to see the opposite. Soft, limp wristed, pansy football and it got worse until the whole team was playing ring-a-ring-a-rosie!
He's a phoney and his so-called blueprint was rubbish!
Thank goodness someone with footy brains and sense was able to identify someone that has a clue
And thankfully our stupid coach threw away that blueprint and listened to someone that actually understands footy and knows what's required to be a good team.
