Robert Shaw- Hardwick would make outstanding coach at Richmond

Hinkleys culture not too bad either just quietly...

According to Robert Shaw who knows Hardwick and seen his development as a player and coach he would make an outstanding coach of the Richmond Football Club. Apprenticeship has been outstanding. Premiership experience at 3 seperate clubs.

I agree with Shaw!

Well if we get Hardwick, Shaw might and I say might stop bagging us..

WAT....I think you mean Tony Shaw (not robert) Tony will be telling everyone that coaching Richmond is professional suicide.

Ah yes I do sorry about that.

I would like to see Hardwick get the Gig.

Then I'd like to see him take the football dept on the Kokoda track. Sydney did it and won a grandfinal, Hawks did it and won a grandfinal. We should do it too, it's a tough track, learn team work, learn to help your mates.

I'd also like to see discipline really put in on the group, one stuffs up then they all pay the price, make them reliant on each other, make them protect each other, make them work for each other. Some 5 am swims in the bay in the middle of winter might pull a few heads in.

Goodluck Damian, hope we get to see first hand what you have got.

why didnt ESS draw the same conclusion, I mean did they not know much about him

Because Knights told them they had a good list that would make the 8. Now Essendon know the truth and rumblings over the last few weeks that they made a bad error.

The rumblings might be a bit quieter now with a huge win over the Ainter's and sitting in the top 8

After watching most of the Saints/Bombers game last night and seeing what Collingwood did to us on Saturday, I wondered what affect those results might have on Richardson's chances?  After all, he was development coach at Collingwood when many of their current group of good young players were just starting out and now look at Essendon.  Food for thought.  I don't think the race for our coach is anywhere near as cut and dried as some make out.

Agree. Think Richardson ticks a few boxes that Hardwick doesn't but is outwardly less hard-nosed. From the interviews I've read he presents quite well and it could be enough to get him over the line. If its a straight out head coach appointment then I'm for Richardson. If we were going for a DoC and a head coach then for me Hardwick comes right back into it as the two concerns I have about him - never coaching a side by himself and his communication skills - could be helped by a Sheedy-like DoC.
