Some Interesting Comments From Hardwick

[RECORDS!]

All year Dimma HAS spoken as he feels, I talk to him from time to time and he always speaks his mind. When he asked me what I thought of our draft picks, I replied with the first 4 look good and I was wrapped that we pinched Taylor off Collingwood, he replied that he was a good get. But all of our draftees are going to be good. Now unlike all of you I have due to employment issues been able to watch the growth of our old listed players and our drafts and I can tell you that he is right about our draftees. As for the rest of our guys Gus could not take a mark overhead and was not cofident in front of goals, both areas which you can all see has improved. Mitch told me at the start of the year that Jack would win our goalkicking and could win the Coleman. Dimma has faith in all of our players and he tells them what he thinks positive or negative.
Should we tank hell yeah , Hell NO! whatever we do I believe that Dimma and the rest of the guys will keep to the plan. The first 8 games were always going to be hard, But that Hawks game showed that we were on track. The plan 6 to 8 wins 10 if possible, so are we going to tank I dont think so, but if we do thats ok with me because I've seen what the future holds and once it comes together I wont need to its happenong the world will know Richmond rules and the rest are tools the tools we will use to create many victories.

Who is Mitch?

shame on dimma for being so ignorant. fremantle are coming from a top 4 position in 06. they only had to clean out the aged and a few of the poor kicks to add to the core they already had. where are we coming from again.

if he believes what he is saying then i for one am adamant hes not the man for the job and im one who has backed him in.

the belief has always been there.everyone at the club was saying this when losing, the belief in winning games and the momentum of winning games certainly propels you forward at a rapid rate very true but only if you have the cattle.
i wonder what sort of rating systems we have in place for these sort of comments to happen.

as for the players finding a standard sheesh some standard. so many ordinary performances by individuals so many weaknesses on display. surely he means they have found a way to compete against struggling sides at least.

the only bit he got right was. we still have a fair way to go but we have made some inroads. what a contradiction.

Sorry, but are you in the wrong forum this is for Richmond SUPPORTERS!

Rarely do you have a positive comment, I can't see how tanking for an extra pick could possibly advance a team to a flag, to win a flag you have to want to win at all costs.

Obviously a glass half empty person

Coming rom Mr Pro-tanking himself, I'm not sure whether to feel puzzled, amused or vindicated!

P.S.

LMAOOOOO

the silence is deafening

LMAO

You and Wally Matera ...

Your assesment of Freo is hilarious

Someone post Freo's list of 06 and lets pick through it rather than go on this heresay , other than Pavlich i look forward to seeing the rest of the "core" they had back then that is going around now

Here's their current best 22 based on games played this year:


Around in 06:
Sandilands
Pav
Mundy
Hayden (missed 9 games that year)
McPharlin
Crowley
Johnson
Bradley
Haselby (missed 9 games)
Duffield (missed 18 games)

Not exactly a star studded core. The reason they're so good this year is due to the following guys:

Debuted after 06:
Barlow
Mayne
Fyfe
Balintyne
Tarrant
Morabito
McPhee
Ibbotson
Hill
Broughton
Suban
Palmer

Alright Santa ... I`ll give you Sandilands (who was struggling his @rse off back then mind you) ...

Huge Core

to win a flag you first have to build a list capable of doing it a concept you dont seem capable of grasping. unless of course you think we already have the list capable of winning one.

 

[Jisha]

Wait... am I correct in thinking there are tiger fans in here wanting us not to win? What the ****... seriously. You pro tankers should seriously be ashamed of yourself. Completely ludicrous.

Who's to say that the core of our list wont win a premiership in 2-4 years time?

You? You gotta be kidding.

dont hold your breath, santa's commentary generally has less substance than when Mick Molloy opens his mouth

I'm quite capable of grasping the concept you refer to, the fact is you don't have to finish last to build a team, we have had enough years of playing with no belief, what we need is to win as many games as we can whenever we can.

Not sure if you ever played any sport but, players want to win, we need to keep moving forward on the field and although we are a long way from a flag, if we recruit sensibly there is no need for us to finish on the bottom to have success.
