I am 99.99% sure its Graham. Jack Graham that is!

As improbable as this may sound, he goes up several notches after hearing this.

Aged 19, 5 games under his belt, Grand Final and he is trash talking the Crows at half time.

We have a bloody ripper folks.

Documentary lifts lid on Damien Hardwick’s speech to Richmond players during 2017 AFL Grand Final

A CANDID moment from the AFL grand final shows what Richmond players thought of the Crows’ bizarre “power stance”.

A BEHIND-the-scenes documentary has revealed Damien Hardwick’s inspiring speech to Richmond players before last year’s Grand Final.

Hardwick told his players that footy experts had said all year “you can’t do it” and this was their chance to prove them all wrong.
He likened the path to the premiership to mountaineers trying to reach the top of Mt Everest, where looking to the summit too soon can lead to disaster. Hardwick compared Grand Final day to the Hillary Step, a steep rock face that presents the final challenge for climbers.

“You’re on the Hillary Step with 40 feet to go. The summit is there but we know to do it we’ve got to walk each individual foot to get us up to the summit. We don’t ever take our eye off our feet,” he said in his pre-match address, captured on camera and shown for the first time as part of Peter Dickson’s documentary Break the Fall at last night’s AFL season launch.
Hardwick continued themes of Richmond’s remarkable season, encouraging his players to make the most of their strengths and to enjoy playing together.

“We know what’s made us a great football club this year, and it’s the ability to work for each other, it’s embracing the imperfection of who we are. I love what you’ve done, I’m so proud of you, we’ve got one big step to go.

“Everyone from pillar to post has said you can’t do it. You’re not tall enough, you’ve got no forward line, you’re too young. We’ve proven most of them wrong thus far. Our goal is silverware but our expectation is we embrace who we are. We are quick, we are powerful, we celebrate what we do and enjoy it.”

Richmond was jumped by Adelaide, which led by 11 points at quarter-time. But the Tigers responded in a powerful second quarter, keeping the Crows goalless and going into the main break with a 10-point lead.
Walking down the race into the rooms, a player in the documentary can be heard yelling: “Hey they’re not so tough now” — an apparent reference to the Crows’ pre-match “power stance” designed to intimidate opponents during the national anthem.
Hardwick returned to Mt Everest in his halftime address: “There’s 20 feet to go, 20 feet to go to that summit of Everest, and we know what the process is from here. One step at a time. Stay connected, keep taking that little step. The reality is, it’s that desire to succeed and that’s us in a nutshell.”

At three-quarter time, with the Tigers 34 points up, his message was simple: “What do you reckon they’re going to do this quarter? It’s all or nothing. I love you blokes, the way you play. Get the job done.”
Richmond broke its premiership drought with an emphatic 48-point win, prompting an outpouring of emotion. Hardwick was in awe of his players.

“You did something that hasn’t been done at this club for 37 years. It is incredible the way you played the game, the manic nature, I feel like sitting there — you guys can have your thing, I’m going home to watch the tape.”

100% certain it’s Caddy.

Listen to the ‘That’s Good for Footy’ show on YouTube with Ellis and Caddy then watch that video back - definitely is Caddy.

Got a reputation for enjoying a bit of lip on the field - sounds like something he would say.

If it was him, great. If it was someone else...well that's great too.

Funny enough I can imagine Graham saying it but I am starting to think Caddy now. It is very Caddylike.

I can imagine Graham saying it in a few years. Not five games into his career lol.

I've told you a million times not to exaggerate! It was 4.5 games at that point.

According to Tim Watson on SEN this morning, while the Tigers were all pumped up going off at half time the Crows were infighting.
Love it!

He said that during the C7 halftime on the day too.

Tim said "It was interesting the Richmond players when they filed in here at half time one of the things they were talking about was the squabbling and the arguing that was going on out on the field and saying 'The Crows have lost the connection. We've got them where we want them'."

And Richo agreed "It was loud and clear from a lot of Richmond players".

It’s interesting that Paton has drawn the conclusion that the comment referred to the power stance. My take was that it was a reference back to quarter time when they were in for a bit of niggle.

This would also tie into it being Caddy saying the words, because he was heavily involved in that niggle.
