Richardson, Hardwick, Rawlings and Hinkley left in RFC coaching race

[tigersalive]

Im sorry but cutting corners would be the farce
Rushing the decision would make it out of control

This is the least farcical and most in control process the club has had for decades

You have a bizarre perspective on this.

Agree, the moment we cut corners is the moment the media and every cynical supporter will have ammo loaded to shoot at the first aspect of weakness in our new coach, and we compromise the choice made because we changed our process.

We stick to what we stated and the timeline was the first week of the finals to finish the process unless there was one clear stand out.  There clearly isn't.

We're right on track.

I have a funny feeling though that if Hardwick does not accept the Roos job if he is offered it tomorrow that he would have been told by the panel that he has the job but to save face we will still go through the process. Just a thought on how this stuff can go, it certainly happens like that in the public sector.

Absolutely spot on

I actually think that is funny WAT - a whole conspiracy theory there.

You seriously think that out of 4 people they've got in the 2nd stage they've interviewed 2 and after interviewing one of them (who I think may have been the first one) they said "Jobs your mate but we are going to leave you hanging for another week or so, so things look right in the paper"? And then say to him "just to be sure we keep up appearances can you go off and interview for the North Job" .....

I reckon they dont know what they want either, thus Benny Gales involvement.   ( past players pushed for him too )

Argghhhhhhhhh our dear friends the past players.... don't think they had much to do with getting Benny back to the Club although I am sure they will tell you otherwise 

Mail is that Richardson has been the best so far.

In stage 2 where there are 4 people of which 2 have been interviewed he's been the best? Or are you talking about after stage 1 he was the best...

Good to see the Club not being forced into making a decision .... as I said yesterday we want the best person who wants to coach the RFC not someone who just wants to coach .....

Why not its about time RFC started doing shifty poo to get ahead in this game. You cant do nothing if your trying to play the nice guy all the time. Its time for dodgy and ruthless behaviour

Would love to tell you.

It's a subjective opinion that doing that would "get us ahead in this game."  I'd say it would leave us a few kilometres behind, probably back where Norf is trying to get the one the media has hyped the most for some publicity, and compromise everything we've done to make this the correct process.

Let it be you impatient so and sos.   

[Smokey]

I agree with those posters saying "have patience".  We are doing the absolute best by the club in FULLY exploring each and every option available to us before making our decision.  And here's the main point in all that - we haven't done that once in the past 30+ years.  Does that time frame ring any bells with people?

And as for the extra week being an unfair advantage - I don't see that at all.  These guys all have full time jobs at other clubs that still require their professional attention.  They would have been given plenty of advance notice of the date for 2nd round interviews and the criteria they would be expected to address in those interviews.  You would think that all of them are of a sufficient level of knowledge and professionalism that they would be prepared fully in the time frame given them.  If they miss out on the job it won't be because someone else had an extra week - that would be the prime indicator that you weren't right or ready for the job.

Let North Melbourne run around like headless chooks creating fear and uncertainty among the impressionable.  There is a time and a place for swift and impulsive action - this ain't one of them.

Yeh like on the footy field would be nice

You'd be amazed at what i could tell you 




oops I almost forgot

Ecstatic that these 4 are the last 4.

I hope the next we hear is that it is out of Hardwick, Richardson and Hinkley. I don't really have a preference there, the sounds are positive in all tree cases.

Completely agree. We need to start afresh from from our playing list to our coach. No more recycled anything. New stock bought straight from the store.
For what it's worth, Hinkley is who I'm warming to.

If Collingwood do to us what I think theyre  gonna do tomorrow, I suggest Rawlings last hope would have been completely wiped.

i vote hinkley.

[the_boy_jake]

A couple of days ago I was 1. Hardwick 2. Hinkley 3. Richardson

Now I am 1. Richardson 2. Hardwick/Hinkley too hard to split.

I'm not sure why he just seems to be a nice mix of developmental coach, winner and thinker (from the articles I've read).

[wayne]

There is going to be a lot of disappointed people if Rawlings gets the job
