Wow. Ok. That's a fairly big call.

No it's not, there is anecdotal evidence that stress can be a mitigating factor in a person getting cancer

Sure it is. But many cancers start from stress

An honorable man would... but then again, Hardwick does not have this quality..  History has shown that once you fail as an AFL Head Coach, then you are thrown on the scrap heap.

What nonsense. I don't know a person alive who would walk away from that contract voluntarily. People on this forum forget that for the coaches and players this is a job, not just a game:

Oh yes it is. No medico will ever claim to identify the specific cause/causes of a specific cancer. The most that can be said is that stress may be a predisposing factor.

Members of long-standing Richmond families, including the Mandies, the Silks, the Ralphs and the Clemengers, attended the Malvern Hotel dinner along with former club orthopedic surgeon Hayden Morris, doctor David Marsh, private investor Peter Capp, IT executive Leon Davies, senior legal partner Guy O'Connor and businessman Guy Nelson.

If history teaches us anything... richmond will systematically implode right on cue, just like my ar$ehole does after a meatlovers pizza and a few peroni's

Nah, you were chairing the meeting, weren't you?

 

 

 

or at least a part of it.

I've often wondered about the correlation between Craig Cameron's recruiting 'work' with us and his subsequent 'success' rate with The Tigers... he's the common denominator at both teams .

Perhaps someone with more time than me on their hands could plot a graph of hits and misses with recruiting under his watch.. I suspect it won't be flattering.

Terrible Pub.

Was run by the Giles family for a long time.

Terrible club also.

I said anecdotally, ie stories, so I didn't say specifically, I also said mitigating, also if you think the stress of what Bailey went through didn't contribute then it is your opinion whereas myself and SWYL think it possibly contributed to it

The 9/10 winning streak and the last round away v Sydney win to make the 8 remains the highlight of their era. I'll admit, it had me jumping off cheering for the Tiges. They really got ass-raped a week later though

Came for the Richmond lolz, stayed for the pseudo-medicine...

That's just wild, ridiculous speculation.

SWYL - linking Dean Bailey's death with Hardwick's decision on whether to carry on coaching is up there with the best nonsense I've heard on this forum. What about Leppitsch? Should he quit, just in case he gets cancer? What about all the other, literally, hundreds of VFL/AFL coaches who have coached through shocking pressure and not got cancer?

Saty - 'Mitigating' means to reduce, not to increase.

Call it what you like mate. 

I am watching a family member go down with The Big C RIGHT NOW & i would bet my house and 2 balls that the 60-70 hour a week job she had for the last 15 years was a very large reason towards her demise. 

The amount of pressure put on Bails during and after his time at The MFC would imo contributed to his later sickness. 

Medical certainty notwithstanding Bailey himself said that he felt the stress surrounding the situation contributed to his cancer.

Personally, I think we should drop the discussion about cancer, stress and Dean Bailey. The discussion is unedifying, unhelpful and irrelevant to the topic.

So if posters are discussing whether Hardwick should consider his health in regards whether he continues to coach is irrelevant?

And if Hardwick sticks around he will be under the hammer daily...

Remember Slobbo writing about Terry Wallace... "Dead Man Walking" headlines

regardless of what you think of the guy just imagine reading that with a bowl of CornFlakes

It's bloodlust. Caro should have kept quiet.

a 60-70 hour a week difficult job can cause all sort of lifestyle changes including such things as lack of exercise, poor diet, lack of sleep etc and yes stress. there is no way though that you can single out just stress from other factors of a busy job as the main causative factor

It all adds up tho Daisy....All the factors you bought up are part of the job. 

You reckon Hardwick is sleeping well this week?

Maybe they need to get rid of Brendan Gale, for all of his purported attributes post-footy, what kind of culture does he bring to the table when he was a part of a Richmond side in the 90's that did nothing?

On looking, in 95 and 01, they lost the qualifying finals by over 34 and 70 points. won the semi final the following week by under 20 points, and got belted in the prelims by 89 and 68 respectively
