Sorry to all for the spelling in the last post. l have not got back to say my point due to having to work long hours and late nights.

Damien Hardwick played 207 AFL games 153 for Essendon and 13 goals. Under Coach Kevin Sheedy who is one of the greatest coach we have seen.

when at Essendon he won the Best and Fairest in 1998 . In 2000 he played in the premiership side that smashed us and also was all Australian.

in 2000 and 2001 he played in the International rules series and played in a losing grand final side.

he then moved to Port where under Mark Williams said to be one of the best Teachers of football was part of the 2004 premiership side.

Since 2005 he has been working as an assistant coach at Hawthorn . And as you all no won the premiership last year.

in 2007 Hardwick was shortlisted for the senior job at melbourne just like Chris Connolly.

l am not knocking our club or saying sack any one but trying to see who else could bring something to our beloved club.

l think Jim stynes , Cameron Schwab , Dean Bailey , Chris Connolly and James Mcdonald should all be givin a big pat on the back for what they have done.

l was hoping to see who everyone else would like to see at the club .

on top of this Damien Hardwick was a hard nose little player which l thought would give us help in drawing the line in the sand.

but maybe some of our supporters need to harden up too.

Maybe you need to shut the hell up...

DB is plenty uncompromising. Hardwick wouldn't bring anything to the club that you can magically see he's capable of bringing...

So what do you suggest mate we sack the coach mid contract, incur another debtor then begin rebuilding again from scratch with a new coach and staff. if we need Hardwick so much then why was he not eh first choice when the recruitment process began for the coaching position. You say he played so many AFL games well Neil Craig didnt play any and he is a fine coach. I agree with the previous poster how about you think about what you are saying before you go our and make such frivolous comments about a concept which was settled two years ago now. You do have a cheek calling the previous poster little minded when your own post lacks credibility and merit itself.

Hardwick, who played in the 2000 Grand Final, would make a great assistant to Bailey who coached Hardwick in the 2000 Grand final. Dean was also at Port in 2004, and again coached Hardwick, when they won the GF

But he is an assistant coach already why would he sign on at Melbourne when he can apply for a senior coaching role in 2010. The general process is an assention toward a senior coaching role and noting the fact that he is currently employed by Hawthorn this would be a regression of his career I suggest.

Read your post you trolling twerp...

You're asking which coach do we want to take THIS list to a GF...

So what you're saying is don't sack Bailey, but appoint Hardwick... So we have two coaches then, genius?

You ARE asking for DB to be sacked. Even if you're too thick to recognise it.

Now go away...

You have a good point but if you look at brain royal or chris bond these men where once heading the list of young blokes looking to be a head coach.

Todd Viney would be a better Assistant for the MFC in my opinion.

l think Dean will be the one to get us their but are you telling me that you think that not one change in the football department will happen from here till then.

now think about that your self not one change in the next maybe 3 to 4 years.

if your right well good on you so all your telling me is that the current football department is just right in your eyes.

Agree with your points

Mine was merely a poor attempt/tongue in cheek way of saying that as Hardwick is being touted for certain attributes in the opening post, Bailey must therefore be so too as he for most was there in a superior role

I think I'll retire from this one now ;)

I'm happy with our coaches except maybe our forward line coach. And even then, he has little to work with.

I'd say the BEST thing to do would be have a football department that knows and trusts one another. If we went for every coach that was available in every vacancy we'd end up with a different brain-trust every season.

I only get excited about coaches, and assistants, when someone leaves, gets promoted, or retires. Otherwise, how about we have a bit of faith in a group that's only been doing their thing for a season and a bit.

No, I think your wrong, we are on the right track at the moment. We dont have the onfield personnel yet, but were getting closer each draft to balance up our list. The other thing we need to be, is have some patience as we get No's of games of experience into these talented players were gathering. Just my opinion.

Next year we'll hopefully win 6, give or take & then the year after 2011, should be pressing for around 7th - 10th.

We'll be competing with the likes of other teams, who will then be on the climb, Essendon, West Coast, Carlton, Richmond, Port Adelaide.

It's important that we Build the list talent now, completely, before we start winning regularly. Bring the whole side on together.

No doubt there will be changes over the next 3 years or more, but not yet. We need to consolidate this group for the next 2 years, 2010/11, then reassess.

At that point we should be starting to climb into the middle of the ladder, & would be a good time to take stock.

All I want to know is who the hell taught you how to write with the use (or the non-use?) of correct grammar and punctuation ?

What is going on with our educational systems these days !?
