A dirty version of disdain?  Couldn't agree more.

He’s the equal biggest sook in the AFL, along with Beverigde. Can’t stand either of them. 
 

It’s honestly embarrassing how Hardwick et al. carry on and the disdain they treat reporters with (although they’re not exactly alone in that respect). 

Dont forget Chris Scott. He's made whingeing and sooking an art form.


While I don’t like Hardwick as he was a thug, he won the Tigers three flags in last 6 years, it is pretty disrespectful.

Scott/Beveridge/Hardwick all sook up, but tough gig under scrutiny 24x7 and many reporters are looking to create cheap headlines by upsetting coaches after a loss!

There's an interesting interaction to it.

On the one hand, there is no factor more important to the success of a senior coach than being taken seriously and instructions followed, and nothing more important to the culture of a club than preventing little sniping undermining and minimising of leaders.

On the other hand, our pathetic football media has very little offer except the 'latest controversial hot-take designed to get a shocked reaction'.

The "Are you about to lose your job?" question, which was asked clearly for no reason other than to get a talking point out of Hardwick being annoyed, is a textbook example.

I instinctively don't like Hardwick but even I can see that he was not the problem in that interaction.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
