Damien Hardwick in stunning coaching backflip: ‘I miss it’

Only weeks after he quit Richmond, the AFL mastermind has revealed the itch is already back.

Is there a chance he returns to Richmond and coaches them again? Or do you think he'll coach another club? If so, what club do you think he'll coach?

 

[My Tilly]

Gold Coast.

Port, don’t think he’d want to do a rebuild if he didn’t want to do it with us.

If Hinkley loses a prelim this year I can see him getting the sack.

Ken is the future as much as port fans disagree . Dimma Suns or the eagles I would think.

I think he's probably run his race at Tigerland. I'd be happy to see him go to Gold Coast and try to build them into a decent organisation. Or West Coast would possibly be a good fit at this point, or even get started on building the Tassie franchise if he could handle no match days for 4 or 5 years.

Whatever the case, probably a bit of buyer beware for the time being. I doubt anybody who's enjoyed such success truly regains their passion in a few months, if ever.

It reads like the sudden nature of the decision and no foreplanning has left him struggling to occupy himself.
No way he comes back to Richmond in any capacity, it would be a massive distraction for the team who are finding form without him.

Jumps ship from Richmond because they were trending downwards

Now jumps to a club like Gold Coast who are tending upwards

It's the same as moving on from mrs Hardwick to a younger more attractive prospect

Coward if true.

Have more respect for Simpson who will go down with a sinking ship

 

[BigPond101]

Will be at Carlton next year 99.8 % sure

Then it will end in tears a couple of years later Dennis Pagan style

What if he goes to Eagles? Would be putting yourself on the sunken ship. Kinda like volunteering to go on the next Titan submarine.

Sounds like Ross Lyon except with premierships.

If he even got us to one finals series that is enough on the GC to get a statue haha.

Probably misses all the trim around the office

LOL either that or being around the new one more often is starting to grind his gears.

 

[Lets Roar like '44]

It won’t be a bottom team we all know what he thinks about doing that.

 

[banzai]

Brisbane should roll the dice if they dont make the Grand Final this year.

He would be able to do alot with the Dogs, if Bevo keeps underperforming.

I guess it puts a lot of coaches under pressure. It would still be a ballsy call for a team near the top of the ladder to make, it doesnt always work out.

Thats a very weird thought. 14 seasons at the Tigers and three flags is a very good innings. Owes them absolutely nothing and did them a solid by allowing them to re-fresh.

Simpson is clinging on for the cash. Hardly admirable or brave.

Will be GC, Lions or Port.

The last person to say something like that was Matthew Lloyd, when he announced that Brandon Ellis was closer to a flag at Gold Coast than Richmond, after Round 4 in 2020

They are definitely the 3 Id think. Im not sure Brisbane have it in them if they were to lose the prelim to make that sort of call. But I think thats the best fit, would surely solve their MCG worries. GC are never winning anything, they pretty much need to build a flag team entirely from the draft (and overpay them to stay), where as other teams can all recruit gun players from other teams to complete their list.

I can't think of many cases when a bloke leaves an org of own volition, suddenly, without warning, should be allowed to return. You either want it or not.

It was a nice parting despite the briskness. Both sides behaved well. It was a good decision. Don't fcuk it up by bringing him back.
