Hardwick .......

[Diablo Deemon 220]

Richmond has one game plan at the moment kick long to Riewoldt while

it's working in the short term it's only a stop gap. If Riewoldt's form goes off,

clog their back line, pressure the ball carier the tiges loose everytime. While it's

working short term not going to work forever.

Which is who?

I see no one at Melbourne that could kick 10 goals in a game now or in the next few years.

Have a look at Richmonds list. They have Deledio, Foley, Cousins, Cotchin and Martin in the midfield who win the clearences and kick straight to Riewoldt who played against a travelling West Coast without Glass.

Green, Jurrah, Sylvia and Pettard all could have kicked ten in the same conditions and delivery

Apparently it came down to a choice between Knights and Hardwick.

Hardwick said he would need a complete rebuild while Knights said he could deliver a premiership without massive list changes. I think Hardwick was right.

Yeah I remembered that was the reason for Knights appointment and made the point in another thread. Sounds like Hardwick was more honest in his interpretation of Essendon's list at the time while Knight said what the selection committee wanted to hear. It'll be interesting to see how Hardwick's Tigers fare in comparison to Essendon under Knights over the next couple years.

Last time i checked Darwin was not in Victoria.

So going by that theory when was the last time we won a game, ( forget the last time we won a game.)

Wow.

Can't you tell we don't have a game this week, you only have to look at some of the threads/topics being started, delistings etc and now this, I for one if I was an AFL coach in waiting would not have gone near either of the Richmond or Melbourne jobs, Hardwick isn't exactly working with a team without experience (games wise) everybody seems to forget this......

and as for the Darwin game, if you weren't there (and I was) you will have no idea of the conditions the players played under to achieve an excellent victory.

Can't we have a thread with gee I am looking forward to the next 9 or 10 rounds and this is why
