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.

 

Early days but should West Coast win this I think we all know what the first question in the presser should, but won’t, be.
