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

he’s taking a loss to the bombers even worse than we did

I believe Dimma told it to Bevo, and Bevo is in a Whatspp group with Tom Morris.

Three time premiership coach. Pioneered a style of game we called chaos ball. Deserves respect. Has left Richmond as a stronger club than when he started.

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

Is anyone surprised?

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 😂

Hardly..

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

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
