Roast How did Hardwick get it so wrong?

Agree, but until this year on field has never resembled like winning a final let alone a flag. The real names behind our success are in this article:

IMPORTANT FACTS FROM ARTICLE

the football review commissioned by Gale to find that the data-driven Hardwick had moved too far from his players.

helm of a leadership group pared back and revitalised at the behest of Neil Balme and the club's new leadership consultant Shane McCurry

Balme's loyalty to Nathan Buckley was proving a stumbling block. Either way, when Balme arrived at Richmond having been pushed aside at Collingwood for the second time

Balme replaced Richardson as head of football, with the latter overseeing football talent

Ultimately the view that Riewoldt was going to be a leader whether he existed inside or outside the inner sanctum prevailed.

the return to the club of recently sacked Brisbane Lions coach Justin Leppitsch

The fact that Hardwick had made no real changes to his team the previous year despite a two-year contract extension was identified by a number of recent past and present players as misguided loyalty

Richmond's transformed ball movement through the centre, which has been overseen by Caracella not to mention the competition-leading form of Dustin Martin along with Cotchin

Richardson and recruiting boss Blair Hartley were chastised for a sleepy trade period and there was even internal pressure. It was probably a response to missing Adam Treloar at the end of 2015 which led to Richmond recruiting Chris Yarran, a decision that haunted the Tigers last season.

Gale responded swiftly and aggressively to the board challenges — ironically the embarrassing short-lived "Focus on Footy" pushed for Neil Balme's recruitment, which eventuated shortly afterwards — and held meetings with insurgents while refusing to entertain their tactics

That pragmatic style has been Balme's gift to Richmond

The review was always happening and from what i am led to understand we had engaged Balme before the FoF debacle.
Peggy is involved in those decisions as well as Gale.
They hire Balme and he makes decisions based on his expertise and no doubt with the review findings. And that's how the chain of command should work. Peggy should have no direct business in what Balme does. He informs Benny who will kick it accross to Peggy and the board, they will rubber stamp some stuff, but, Balme gets to make the calls he needs to.

The article Cleary tells us that an incompetent boys club was running amok and it was put to an end.
Do you reckon we were having a review if things weren't pear shaped? Nope it would have been two year contracts for all with stability the scapegoat to do nothing in terms of seeking improvement . This has been the RFC motto under Pegs reign and hence results don't lie.

But Peggy and the board called for the review which led to the changes.

Bc they xxxxed up and couldn't solve the problem themselves bc it meant having to make hard calls on their mates in the boys club. Again results don't lie.
