has done a decent job. but im a sceptic of everything richmond.
i remember wallace in his first yr did most things right then went of the rails.he did what blind freddy would do yr 1. hardwick well its exactly the same hes done what any half decent thinking coach would have done. and accolades for doing it hes got most things right thus far.
the real test for hardwick and this current admin is what happens at seasons end. does he do a wallace only doing half a job and shying away from the tough decisions or does he follow thru and do what must be done. the easy part is almost done now for some real decisions that will set us up for a genuine finals tilt or is it to be more fluff.
I reckon you'd still be bagging him if he lifted up the premiership cup with yellow anad black streamers on it.
The easy part is almost done? did what blind freddy would do year yr1? So far you seem to have questioned him at every turn, displaying an apparent ignorance of the process he is going through. ???
Then to compare what hardwick has done to wallaces first year? Which game under wallace, in any of his 4 1/2 years, did Richmond display the commitment and hardness at the ball, while constantly getting numbers to the contest, displayed against Port, (as well as for large parts of most of the other games in the last 4-6 weeks)?? ??? How many players did wallace ever drop/not play because they were not playing to instruction/following team rules, regardless of skill levels??
All wallace ever did was put the team on the park most likely to win that week, with scant regard for the bigger picture.
Given that nearly every week you criticise the selected team's structure I can see why you think this is a good thing, but it does fly in the face of your cries to deliberately lose games to get early draft picks.
