News Coaching Thread: The Hardwick Era

[Billy ray]

If you look at BF thread cited above apparently it's based on some accounts he follows

What if people follow accounts ironically or for comedic value?

Yep. What if he also follows left-wing ones. Crazy.

 

[Mini GF]

I just went through every Hardwick tweet and reply, couldn’t see any “far-right cooking” can someone point it out to me?

Thanks for going the hard yards.

 

[The Kings Ransom]

Eh. I didn't know about this.

If I was a parent of a player I'd be pretty concerned if the apparent values of the coach and mentor of my kid were completely opposite to what I held.

He's obviously got a long track record of working with indigenous players which is clearly more important - Rioli followed him here which is a big endorsement.. but those type of social commentators don't exactly align with equality.

 

[Iva Bigun]

I didn’t know he was a far right cooker. Damn.
And yes the Balta statement was an embarrassment to our club and the community it represents.

Far Right the guy isn’t marching in the streets with Nazi flag, calm the farm

Scroll up-SS said it’s well known he’s a “far right cooker”.
To be a far right cooker do you have to march the streets with a Nazi flag.
Is anything less than that ok?

My point is the ridiculous labels people put on others that don’t agree 100% with their view. Preaching virtue when they are just as flawed

I wasn’t attributing the slur to you Bods

Especially when the only evidence is who he follows on a social media platform that he is not particularly active on.

100%

 

[Mini GF]

The coach has had a cough for quite a while now. He should get it looked at properly.

 

[robo_1]

I think we are still in need of another good assistant coach

 

[DTLSchulzy16]

I think we are still in need of another good assistant coach

We had one and he went back to Geelong

Time to go get Kenny (complete joke)

The former Port/Brisbane guys from early 2000s with the awesome track record still there. Geelong 06-11 guys starting to demand senior roles. Couple of the Hawks guys already with big jobs (Mitchell obviously) that’s where I’d be looking

 

[robo_1]

Has Alex Rance taken on more of a role in the club?
He’s seen at training more, sits on the bench on game day. I saw him with the players hyping them up during their pre game warm up on the weekend

 

[robo_1]

I would like to thank Damien Hardwick for turning from pretenders to contenders

in the rooms on the TV the other week.
Didn't even know he was with the club.
Heard nothing about him.

Just looked it up and saw he joined in 2023 - was shocked!

The Gold Coast SUNS have made a final coaching appointment with former Adelaide best and fairest Richard Douglas to join the club as a Development Coach.

Rance copping it haha

 

[Supersuns]

Rance copping it haha

I still dont understand what he even does at the club. Epitome of jobs for mates. Can't tell me he has made Chucky or Mac a better defender.

 

[SandyToes]

Rance copping it haha

Where is he copping it?

 

[sunsofanarchy]

Where is he copping it?

In his wallet hopefully

To be fair Rance was one of the best defenders. He should know some tricks.

Maybe he made Collins better? Collins looks awesome in most games. He even limited bad kicks.

Chucky struggles after ACL. It happens. Mac on fire in the last 3 games according to Dimma.

How about Adams? Developing well as KPD?

Or is it actually Drummond's job, haha? Rance is just part-time.

Think Rance just works with the leadership team

Think Rance just works with the leadership team

And as a punching bag for forwards.

 

[RowellAnderson12]

Rance got us a sponsor, he’s probably working for free
