Why would someone resigning get paid for the year? I’d imagine he has a heap of leave entitlements that it doesn’t matter but I’m not sure Richmond should pay a full 4 months that he won’t work.

The big question is will Richmond seek trade compensation if/when he signs a new deal before his Richmond contract expires. I think they could and they should.

They're not going to play hardball with such a successful coach (after being a such a basket-case)

3 flags speaks for itself so I'd be surprised if he doesn't get paid out for the rest of the year

Handshake agreement is my take

The Tigers probably knew they needed a fresh voice with fresh ideas

So an ideal parting off the ways.  Hardwick looked rather pleased with the finish as well

CAC got rid of Millar and Wallace, employed Dimma and Blair Hartley and the rest is history.

He was part of their success.

As for passing on Eddie, so did every other club as Eddie was taken as a rookie.  JT passed on McKay and Curnow for Weideman so I suppose you'll never value him.😀

 

 

Well ok I will concede he was a small part of the Tigers success but doesnt need front page billing. Everyone passed on Eddie because he had OP, and not possibly because they didnt rate him.  Passing on Curnow was a certainty coz he told everyone he wanted to get to Carlton.  McKay, I dont know.  The really interesting thing about the Weid selection is that (with hindsight) it broke our golden rule of picking a competitive beast.  Of course I value JT, how could JonTee not.  But the question you might want to consider over tonights sherry is Has JT gone off the boil? 😉

As for supply & demand

If Hardwick is the supplied commodity, there will be a high demand

And with a sacked coach now only receiving 6 months severance, an even bigger demand is prevalent

In effect, it's possible (but not probable) that Hardwick could end up at Essendon

By the way, that practice of not having to pay out a full contract for a sacked coach is often standard practice in sports overseas ... KPI related

For instance, David Moyes was given a 6 year contract with Man Utd a few years ago but after only one year was sacked* and only given a one year payout ... mind you, it was in the vicinity of $6Million for that one year so go figure

*Missing a Champions League spot was a KPI apparently

You're saying it's possible that Hardwick could end up at Essendon? If that's the case, surely possible he could end up at any other club, ours included.

I mentioned Essendon because he played there previously

You know, favourite son and all that

But landing there is not probable unless the Bombers cut short Scott's contract

Remembering that 6 months severance is all clubs are up for these days if they dispense with a coach

And with that short payout we might start to see more contracts cut short if KPI's aren't met

People are the same all over so sacking coaches could become more prevalent in the AFL like it is overseas

Whether we like that or not is often irrelevant

Nope,

Say our season came to a treacle, finish 13-10, lose the first final and bow out.

Would you ask the question?

Are we that gutsy?

 

 

It’s not even gutsy. We fluked a flag and have since looked like sh*t. Hardwick coached lesser talent to multiple flags. If he is available and wants the gig we’d be remiss to not ask the question. We’re a bottom 8 side in 2023.

Won the flag. 
Won the first 10 games the following season. 
Currently fourth on the ladder. 
So dramatic!

I would, but then again I’ve never truly warmed to Goodwin. 
I think Goodwin has potential to be a much better coach but he is now behind on how the game needs to be played and has not rectified any of it. 
But in saying that I’m sure DIMMA probably has flaws like that too, I’m just not seeing them cos the grass is always greener on the other side 😂

We'd more likely extend Goody's contract instead......

i now know why you wouldnt want to put your face to your name. "dingaling"

The first rule of demonland.

Anything football related story represents evidence goody is a rubbish coach. 


Has Hardwick been seen checking out Perth realestate these days?

Knew he had the job months ago IMO. Very odd how he wanted a break yet signed back on before the current H&A season has even ended.....

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
