His time is up. Had his time in the sun and now more interested in shagging the help than winning anymore Premierships

Ordinary comment on so many levels >:(

How were Hawthorn going in Clarkson’s last years?…

Not much good and hes supposedly the best coach ever.

You’re only as good as your cattle and right now our cattle aren’t that good.

Has anyone ever coached a club to two separate dynasties? :shh

True. He had success with two different eras though I guess, which is rare.

Damien Hardwick hasn’t suddenly become a poor coach because his Tigers missed finals in 2021, lost a few games this year and are up against it to add a fourth flag this season.

Richmond have become a lesser team than their peak because their stars are no longer at their peaks (or in Dustin Martin’s case, not there at all for the time being). But that is the natural evolution of a team. That is, we accept Hardwick is a good coach because we have tangible proof in the form of three silver cups, though his players have aged and the list is in transition.

Hardwick is – rightly – not confronting any questions because he has three flags and the certainty of his standing in the game and at his club as his team endures a period of vulnerability. In contrast to other coaches, someone such as Hardwick is a comfort to their club as they seek the next iteration of their team. What Hardwick’s presence says to Richmond is the coaching is one area they don’t need to worry about as they evolve the list.

Hardwick will go to GWS and Clarkson to GC next year.  Chris Newman back to the Tigers

Disastrous result for our club if we lose Hardwick and put in Newman. He might be a former captain but it would be a bad bad result. The only assistant Id give the job too is Caracella. Bring back Grigg and Newman as possible assistants.

Yeah Newman will sort out our lack of defensive accountabilty,,,,will probably make Shortsteps & Ralphsmith co-captains....leaders in his own image...... :shh

I would give Leppa a go as well if Hardwick left but we need to build our assistant/ development coaches as priority
