KB was the one who started this sh1t with his non stop incessant trumpeting on SEN the need for the tigers to re-sign Hardwick prior to the season starting. He has a huge part to play in the predicament we find ourselves in today.

I'm not sure he said give a two year extension. That was the boards decision.

Who need to be accountable for that decision.

He was signed for anothrr 2 years prior to one of the worst seasons in quite a while.

That incompetence alone is enough.

Because they couldn't wait to see what happens during the season before extending his contract.
 
I just feel like we were lied to from day one.

We were told we were going to have a full rebuild with a focus on winning premierships, and that was the cause for allowing the club time to become successful.

We were not told that shortcuts would be taken to get to that success.

In hindsight recruitments like Chaplin, Maric, Knights and the whole host of mature age duds, have just put us back years because we don't have any other those players now. We have been well and truly cheated out of a full rebuild that we were all prepared to go through after Wallace.

Now we have half a list and only half a chance at being any good because all our guns only have a few years left and can't wait for draftees to develop into stars.

I just want a board who back us becoming a top side again without taking shortcuts.
Dan Richardson admitted on radio that they took the route of getting us into the finals but the way they went about it wouldn't see us go any further. They succeeded. He then said they did this because the members have no patience, even though we've been waiting for over 3 decades for a flag.

It's backfired due to the short cuts they took because THE MEMBERS OF THE RICHMOND FOOTBALL CLUB HAVE NO PATIENCE. It's our fault. :thumbsu:

With uncertainty, potential players, officials and assistant coaches are going to be less inclined to want to come to the club.

Saying you just want to win more games as a key part of your platform, anyone can say that. It is cheap and meaningless talk.
we have had players queuing up to come now have we ? better name them
 
We need to be better much better but the fear of the past means most wallow in the fear of falling back so they are content with what they have .
Or we can go just a little bit further back...to 1962...
While it was only just before I was born, from what I have read, members of the current board weren't all that keen on how cocko went about it.
Unfortunately he also sowed the seeds of our current destruction...but that's only because absolute power...

Regardless of extension time frame he was crapping on relentlessly every morning that the board need to be strong and make a statement saying that Hardwick is the man to take this club forward. The board need to re-sign Hardwick to show him belief as he deserves it and the club does not need media scrutiny 6 rounds in if we have a bad start. This was before a ball had been bounced and totally unnecessary. It wasn't just a passing comment either it was a relentless orchestrated campaign. I was totally against it and it made my skin crawl every time he went on about it. When the signing was announced by our brains-trust i instantly became #ECO.
I agree the board need to be held accountable but so does KB as he has power with his media platform and in this instance it was abused.
 
It's not just the board that needs to change, it's the entire culture of the club. Hopefully the two premiership players can remind them of when we used to blow up the opposition.

If it was Sheedy and Malthouse yea maybe good way for them to stay involved in the club

But Raines??? I thought Raines followed Brisbane

Monteath I am less worried about seems to have a decent business and football background speaks for itself
