What's your preference - Hardwick or Hinkley?

[one-eyed]

Now that the choice has narrowed down to the final two, who do you prefer as coach out of Hardwick and Hinkley?

[1965]

Hinkley for me.

Experience coaching his own side  (with premiership wins)

Geelong wanting to keep him until the end of the finals clinched the deal.

 

[Jackstar is back]

Neither.
Although Hinkley would be if I had to choose.
Club will probably pick Hardwick

[Gigantor]

why jack?
what is about it either of them that says "NO"

[WilliamPowell]

Out of those 2 Hinkley for me

I just think that the job is extremely difficult. Many now have come and gone with little results, question I ask why would either of these 2 make any difference, sorry to be negative but there is huge issues at Punt Road that people dont seem to understand.
We currently have a President who is okaying that Richo plays on next year, thats underminding any new coach before they start isnt it.
Just in recent years, we have resigning of players on large contracts who clearly arent up to it and will be still there in 2010. Its clearly a business decision now in whether you pay them out as they cant be traded ( no other club would want them ) or keep rubbish at the club that the new coach has to work with.
I know the club have spoken to Leigh Matthews on many occassions , although he didnt want to go anywhere near Punt Rd due to the above problems and others..
Would think the other coaches who pulled out of the process, didnt want to be involved due the above either.
Why would Richmond offer Wayne Campbell the prospect of coming back to Punt Road with the prospect of being a senior coach, only for him to say, nah not for me, Forget about that he isnt ready for it, more to the fact that the problems are too big

Rumour going around that Hardwick will be ruthless in regards to list management ans said as much as 2nd interview.
This takes him to the top of the tree for me.
I love Richo like a god but it's time to let go people !!  A broom needs to go through the place in one gigantic surge and if Harwick is willing to do this, he gets my vote.

I would totally agree and the broom should clean out others as well, problem is ,it wont happen, Way too many egos

If the rumours are true as to what he said in the 2nd interview in terms of what he thought of the list and how he would go about doing this job then I am still on the Hardwick bandwagon. Richmond needs a ruthless cull. Let Hardwick go about his business atleast with him we will get rid of the crap inside the first 2 years and thats how long it will take to get rid of it. Will Hinkley do the same?

So its Hardwick for me!

here here. Hardiwck for mine. Lets be honest its just a guess for all we know Hinkley could be a better coach also

problem is as Jack as mentioned b4 a big clean out wont happen.

2 many people get involved as is proof by March's comments about Richo getting another contract.

He will probably has to get involved in evrey player and thats why we are screwed till a new coach has the balls to clean the place out

[Beren]

Well I'm not going to base my preference on a rumour.
Hinkley.

[Gigantor]

If these undelying problems persist at punt road ,is there nobody that can "grab the bull by the horns" and turn this ship around once and fo all.Us the mugs that love the club with all our being and front year in year out,are pleading for this,nothing more nothing less.
Or maybe March and co and their review process have seen this and are moving as quick as is possible....Freaken hell I dont know

[Go Richo 12]

Now that is down to 2, Rawlings

[TigerTimeII]

rumours rumours

how do we know that hinkley wont be ruthless with the list either?

hinkley for me

Even if what you say has a modicum of truth, isn't it better to start this new era with a bit of confidence and optimism rather than continually trying to find the negative?
The club is a basketcase but it's not a total write off
Try and get excited about something will ya 

Hinkley for me but I would support Hardwick if he got the job
