Opinion Has Hardwick been gagged

🥰 Love BigFooty? Join now for free.

great trade period by the tigers and I mean that seriously , the interesting thing is Hardwick has been conspicuous by his absence the last few years he has been front and centre regarding trades

If he has then that's a feather in the clubs hat,

Hi first presser will cost us 5000 members with his delusion

Given the trades there should be no steps back and no excuses about missing finals

He should be on notice if we start the season inn round 6 then he must fall on his sword

AFL Trade 2016: Big Fish to Richmond list excites coach Damien Hardwick

Richmond has picked up exciting tough Midfielder in Dion Prestia Picture: Helen Orr

DAMIEN Hardwick has assured impatient fans Richmond has the list to now compete next year after rounding out its off-season haul on Thursday.

Richmond’s level of comfort with its list build was indicated by the selection of small Midfielder in Dion Prestia and tough inside Midfielder Josh Caddy from Geelong, who will both require no time to flourish.

Hardwick told the Herald Sun the Tigers had made massive list gains in the past two years despite some external perceptions and they were ready to fire from day one in 2017.

“We are really excited about what we have brought in. We have got great depth of players that can take us where we need to go. We have just put some pure double cream on top in the last two weeks,” he said.

“The big thing with our list strategy is we had a really good draft last year and with Dion and Josh they will add that hard edge in the guts that has been missing. Trent can’t wait to play alongside them”

“So those players that will come on this year are Corey Ellis as he didn’t play a lot, Connor Menadue, Nathan Drummond will come through.

“Then we add Chris Yarran and Kamdyn McIntosh are ready-made players who we missed badly this year and add Nankervis to bolster our ruck stocks. We are pretty happy with our build over the past 24 months and playing finals will be a given in my eyes.”

Hardwick said his contract situation will be backed up by him after Richmond re-signed him to 2018 despite disgruntled comments from the vocal minority Richmond supporter base.

“I was on holidays. I saw a couple of things (on the internet) but that sort of thing is taken care of in due course. We have just got to concentrate on winning footy games.”

He is aware fans are frustrated by the lack of finals wins — he is yet to salute in September as a coach — but said they should put the most recent loss into perspective and forget about 2016 as it was a year of rebuilding and brain storming.

“The Dogs proved you can turn it around quickly and they were the real form team of the competition once injured players returned. We are looking to improve beyond 2015 and I have got no doubt we will with the talent we have pulled in and a couple of bits of new game style we will be working on over the summer.”

“We realise how important winning finals is to our future and we expect to have a really good season. With our deep list all positions are up for grabs including Alex Rance’s.”

So is this a better list than the list he had last year?

Ready to fire from round one ........ so, what? A seven or eight point win over Carlton followed by a loss to Melbourne.
"The big thing with our list strategy is we had a really good draft last year" ..... hang on, two months ago we "smashed the last two drafts", not we had just a good one.
"Put the most recent finals loss in perspective" ...... I do, Dimma, you f.... up at the selection table and went i over confident. You should apologise.
"Forget about 2016 as it was a year of rebuilding and brain storming" ..... yes it became about rebuilding in week 17 after you completely botched it .... sorry Damien you were talking top four at the start of the year and by round six you were telling us "we've been in this position before and will recover quickly".
"The Dogs proved you can turn it around quickly and they were the real form team of the competition once injured players returned" .... yes, the Dogs are well coached and their coach doesn't make an endless stream of contradictory and outlandish statements, he lets the footy do the talking.
 
So is this a better list than the list he had last year?

Yes... any list without the useless Vickery is a better list...

I cant wait to see him play for the Hawks.. take a mark 30m out and then play on to a player in a worse position or under pressure... it will be funny when it happens to someone else...

People rubbishing Hardwick saying the 2016 list was the best he had so far in his time at the Tigers need to understand something. In terms of pure talent, he was right.

Compare our 2016 list to our 2010 one when he took over and you will realise the list we had this year was easily the best he as had to work with in his time, and 2017's list is better again.

Is this a wind up? Surely he can't be that deluded. The article reads like some half arsed parody a BF poster would make up. But, "pure double cream on top"? FFS.

Where's the critical analysis required to identify and address the problems. Like only kicking 3 goals against GWS for example? Instead he comes out sounding like Pollyanna.

Just sack this dud already.
