As if I needed another reason for hating Essendon and Richmond.  What a bastard.

Very Ordinary comment there from Hardwick. 
he is backing himself into a corner here

That same Grand Final we had guys in Hospital before the game was over, and that does not include Troy Simmonds

F U Damien...

Jeez I’ve lost a fair amount of respect for him with those comments as you say Essendon came out that day not to play fair but to bully, dominate, and hurt us. For him to bring up the Grand Final like that is pretty low.

All this just shows his mindset is the same as in 2000, namely that it is OK to hurt players outside of the actual game.  No wonder his players do it, he encourages it.  About time the AFL joined the 21st century.   If I still had young kids I'd think twice before getting them to play footy.

Essendrug belted anything that moved that day. Yes it was a GF, but they went over the line

I await The Ox response

What a bizarre comment - he was crying in the GF so he should have a look at himself?

WTF does that mean?  at least have a decent crack if you going to do it. If it had of been about the OX hitting someone behind play it would make sense

Dimma might be losing the plot.  comes across like a pathetic loser

Unfortunately much like last year it seems the Tigers are going to position themselves strongly for a big push at the end of the year. 

Hopefully not though!

Well done to the Ox for not firing up about it, he could quite easily have brought up Green getting disgustingly taken out behind play.

Hardwick is taking over from C. Scott on the coaches whinging ladder. 

If its not ops free kicks, its offensive remarks about Syd ? defence tactics and now its shooting off because the media dares take his protected little darlings to task hardwick-lashes-out-at-lynch-critics-says-richmond-targeting-should-stop

He takes quite a swipe at our Schwartz:  "They should have a good, hard look at themselves as I guarantee a few guys making comments, and I'm looking at David Schwarz here – I played a grand final against this bloke and 20 minutes into the game he was crying, so he should have a look at himself at some stage."

Nasty, Nasty, Mr Hadwick.  I guess a leopard never changes its spots.

Tbh, that is pretty stupid and pretty low for an AFL coach to shoot off at the mouth like that.

They have become mighty smug and entitled at Tiger land.  IHope they go out in the Elimination Final.

"But Schwarz told Foxfooty.com.au he wasn’t concerned with the comments, which were cut out of the press conference video clip on Richmond’s website".

Club embarrased by their coaches comments. 

Yeah, what a [censored] [censored].
