If it's up to ME I'd take Caracella in a heartbeat.
Any rational thinking person with an ounce of logic can plainly see that Hardwick has the wrong philosophies in regards to coaching & he's continuously contradicted himself throughout his years at the helm.
Who can forget, "unless you can win your own ball you won't be playing in a Richmond jumper!", & the most recent joke, "some teams are high tackling teams, we aren't a high tackling team!"
The fact that he allowed the loss to the scum cheats in the EF is unforgivable and the fact that he allowed the dees to beat us in the Tommy Hafey tribute game.
what a idiot.
No plan B, stupid comments about his sex life, no real analytical prowess to the intricacies of the game, has favourite players that contradict his own philosophy, during his tenure we've had the worst player development in the competition. Had the worst hand picked list of assistants ever assembled lead by his best mate. Hellbent on Clarksons gameplan that even Clarkson has evolved from.
Despite telling us how much they've learnt from close losses we still lose close games after once dominating in that game. His side is still the most mentally weak team in the AFL.
He said he had the blueprint to success but haven't seen a single finals win. He said that even if we didn't see the ultimate success after his coaching tenure the club would be better placed to see success. Well if you believe that your delusional.
Who knows if Caracella is the answer but so far the signs are ok.
Highly regarded at Geelong. ✅
Brought in tackling and pressure. ✅✅
He's Italian. ✅✅✅
At this stage almost anyone would be a better option that Dumma ....except maybe Lade.
