Analysis If Richmond win the premiership in 2023, will Damien Hardwick go down as the greatest coach of all time?

[biaseddustyfan]

He's already close but would he go to the top? Especially with the most difficult flag of all time in 2020 on his résumé

Thoughts?

 

[Gavin Excell]

Yes

Without any shadow of a doubt

 

[YeOldTiger]

You'd have to argue that's a definite yes.

Also better bloke imlo

 

[ThatsjustDappa]

Definitely, along with Dusty - double GOAT.

 

[Gavin Excell]

And Tigers fans
The greatest ever too

Should ask the former Mrs Hardwick for her thoughts

Another classic tigers thread

reckon she would take the high road and admit he's one of the best

just needs another flag to cement himself at the top

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

Yes, I think so. It has been a golden reign and he changed how the game was played.

When Dimma proves he can do it with more than one club, then he might be up with the Barassi's, Lethals etc...

How do his “fend off” numbers compare to those of other coaches?

 

[Danw0w]

Quick question. Where does he rank amongst the longest serving coaches ever? I know he's the longest serving current coach, but what about for all time?

Is Jack Graham the greatest ever Jack Graham

Not according to Dan26 . Essendon 2000 still ahead… mystique, x-factor, stars on every line, Lloyd kicking 109 goals, 116 team Brownlow votes, bigger margins, how good were Footscray that year!!!,…

He's only 25 years behind McHale, get excited!!

 

[STPer18]

With the GOAT player and GOAT coach, anything other than an undefeated season into a premiership will be seen as nothing more than an abject failure.

He’s not wrong though is he. Bombers were truly phenomenal that year. And as a Hawthorn fan I feel dirty saying that.

Didn’t Colin Carter say it began in the 1870’s or something?
