why l think we need Hardwick

Recommended Posts

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.

Cheerio

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.

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.

in the end we all want the same thing to see the red and blue holding the cup on that one day we all dream about .

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 !?

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
