Do ya reckon he is a chance for another Norm Smith in 2021?He’s a genius in that he lets Dustin do whatever he wants whenever he wants on the football field.
Let go let God .. pure genius

Selfless culture - built by Hardwick.He’s the type of bloke that would take himself off in the last quarter so someone else could win it.
Both finished second last the year before, Hawks with one less win that season.
Neither took over clubs in a good position.
I'd say it was about even
Yes! Yes he is..
..cos Richmond.
(never mind the fact the Richmond Board wanted him fired-ignore all that)
Well, I guess we're all just one Dusty away from GOAT
FMD - the guy has 2 plans.
1. Play Martin in the midfield.
2. Play Martin forward.
Does anyone honestly think he's a genius? Christ almighty, his own club wanted his ass on a plate.
Coming up next:
"Was Woosha the best and greatest coach of all time?"
Faced with the challenge of playing Judd and Cousins in the same midfield, the genius coach decided he'd play both of them in there at the same time.
It was a masterstroke that puts him above all else.
A true lengend we can only hope will someday be matched by, and dare I say it, a Richmond coach.
How many plans does a coach need if both Plans A & B work?Yes! Yes he is..
..cos Richmond.

Finally some senseWhat is the benchmark? Premierships? Games Coached? The innovators?
Jock McHale coached for 37 years through 2 World Wars and through evolving finals systems and guided Collingwood to 7 premierships. He must have trained multiple generations if the average footballer plays about 5 years.
Norm Smith coached for 23 years, 3 teams, and won 6 premierships.
Tom Hafey changed the sport by bringing a professional level of fitness to his teams, something which had not been seen to that point. He coached 4 teams for 4 premierships in 22 years.
Kevin Sheedy built and rebuilt multiple generations of power sides with Essendon as well as righting the mistakes made by Gold Coast in how he built the GWS team from the ground up. 28 years of coaching and 3 premierships. (it is hard to imagine that Essendon would not have won at least one or two more by now had he not been removed by the then Essendon board whilst in the early stages of his 4th rebuild)
Alan Jeans, 24 years coaching, 3 clubs, 4 premierships.
Mick Malthouse, 31 years coaching, 4 teams, 3 premierships.
Leigh Matthews, 18 years coaching, 2 clubs, 4 premierships.
Alastair Clarkson, 15 years coaching, 4 premierships.
I think the most successful coaches have to be the most resilient coaches, those who have not only been successful but those who have coached so long they have had to rebuild and reinvent themselves and their teams generationally.
On that basis, my vote would go for Jock McHale.

Using the Collingwood Nearlyships to discredit DH’s achievements... you’ve lost before you’ve even begun.Nowhere near it. His team is carried by one player. When he's up and about, the rest go along for the ride. For example, where was his coaching nous in the 2018 prelim when Dusty was hobbled? His team was destroyed. Compare him to say a malthouse - won 2 flags with a team that had to travel the length of the country every 2 weeks including for grand finals, and managed to get a collingwood team of nobodies within a kick and a half of stealing a flag from the mighty lions in 2002 - daylight between them
Selfless culture - built by Hardwick.
You forgot the last part... can you work it out? Here’s a hint...Hardwick the coach who was spittting the dummy early in the season angry storming around ripping down covid guideline posters as he was afraid they would derail Richmonds season? Very selfless........
Harwick who needed to be pulled aside by club power brokers and instructed to pull his head in?
Harwick who had a massive sook post game about some imagined tactic Longmire implemented. Who's wife told him he was an idiot and he needed to ring Longmire and appologised?
Sounds like a really selfless character............GOAT even.
Whatever you wish to believe or portray, go right ahead!Lol.
Its not Richmonds success thats the problem matey.
Its all the flog fans with no class (like Hardwick, and friends) who are so desperate for external validation that they make total fools out of themselves. You are such easy targets to pull back into line and make fun of.
We understand, 30 years of failure and being the joke of the comp does leave deep scars. You had a chance to make good and enjoy your success, be thankful and a tad humble in the achievements but instead you went the other way. Act like total flogs. Culture.

This post did not age well.Selfless culture - built by Hardwick.
Thread needs a poll.Never seen a coach bring a club from such a low point to such a high, has to be the greatest with more greatness to come!
Can't think of any comparison in what he's done.
