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.....

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
