Damien Hardwick

[Tigers of Old]

Feel for Mr Damien Hardwick. S Hocking allegedly told Leppa the AFL would stop us from working the mark.

The result? We can’t set up defensively around the long ball anymore. The zone is spread between cutting off short and long options. This changes our defensive structures and robs us of numbers at the contest.

We cannot generate enough turnovers with the stand rule.

We cannot therefore spread enough with the stand rule.

Our entire offence is built around swarming a predictable point of contest. We cannot predict opposition ball movement now that players can waltz around the mark.

Dimma is hamstrung. The team has been recruited for gut running. They are also hamstrung. Our system is being bisected with short passes.

The one team that stood to benefit most from the stand rule is Geelong. How many conversations did C Scott have with the AFL? How many and when?

An outgoing AFL footy director should be made to sit out 12 months before joining a club. But this is the AFL. The boys club.

Get Mick Warner down to Punt Rd. Get him sniffing around Kardinia Park because something doesn’t smell right.

In any case, Dimma will face a tactical crossroads at the end of the season. We need a ball movement guru and I hope he gets one because our 1-wood has been taken from us.

*smile* the AFL and *smile* Geelong.

Well said. You also missed the goal square kicking out rule which stopped us trapping the ball i50m, Watching Stewart run 30m from goal & then launch the ball is ridiculous.
Criminal what SHocking has done. Completely changed the game & nobbled our entire structure/gameplan.

Dimma needs to insist on his recruiters getting some players who can both win contested ball and clearances and use it well when they win it. The game has changed and it is unlikely to change back. Chaos ball is dead and we need to win clearances and dispose of the ball to our advantage.

Today showed clearly where we are lacking. Geelong's mids destroyed us and when we got the ball we just gave it back to them.

All true Carts.

 

[Feeling Tigerish]

any truth to the rumour about Dimma not wanting to take a pay cut this year to help keep Leppitsch and McRae? Prob just usual bs that gets thrown around

 

[zippadeee]

David king just said maybe Dimma needs a change.
This bloke is a king fkstick.
He compared Hardwick to Pkye Buckley and Clarkson.
"Why wait to get sacked?".
Clarkson has done Jack shitt since Hodge Mitchell Lewis and Roughhead retired. That's 5 years now.
Not sure whats Buckley and Pkye got similiar to Hardwick.
We have 1 bad month in 4 yrs and already dickkheadss like this knob are calling for Hardwick to look elsewhere.

Perhaps the AFL introduce a new rule stating you can't use champion data stats when analysing games. See how long Kingy lasts then.

 

[King Kong]

Dimma has some runs on the board but his high $ requirements meant we lost Leppa and McCrae and now left with a bunch of D grade assistants outside of Kingsley.

He'd want to get things back on track next year or else it will be time to go for a complete refresh with a coach like Newy.

Ha! Without champion data stats, King will turn into Marcel Marceau.

 

[TigerFlag2017]

Not sure where to put this.

But are we the worst kick in team in the Comp?

With the rule changes designed to break open the game after a point, are we the only team that has not developed a strategy to take advantage of this?

We either kick it to the pocket (including to dtld) or to a contested tall pack (which the other team normally anticipates and we are out numbered).

Other teams seem to run it out 40 meters before a long kick.

Does this drive anyone else crazy?

Bump.

 

[theglove3]

So is Newy def coming?
I think it was mentioned here roughly 2 weeks ago yet haven't heard it anywhere else.
Can anyone confirm?
They should try and get Leppa back also.
I assume he still has good relationship with Beavis.

 

[Feeling Tigerish]

Hope he can turn things around next year. Plenty of credits in the bank.

hello newman

 

[Tigers of Old]

Mentioned on 360 the challenges of covid this year coupled with our lineup being unsettled.
Also highlighted the positives but sense there's a lot of frustration.

What were the positives?

He didn't really elaborate.

He didn't really elaborate.

i can see why

 

[Dyer'ere]

Mr Damien Hardwick gets a chance to prove a few things in the next month.

Sure, we have been slaughtered with injury, much of it playing irregardless. But we did get to bring on a few young ones, from literally a very thin group.

And Mr Hardwick got that suburban geriatric Fagan by the hair. Perhaps this Dimma fellow can lay down the law to a few more frauds yet.

To be fair to Longmuir he can coach. He just lacks playing talent. Will Hardwick go easy on him? Or begin to mount a cogent case?

 

[Baloo]

So Clarko moving off would make Dimma the most successful coach in the AFL today.

I assume that means he gets the right to tell the AFL what rules interpretations to change midseason.

 

[Brodders17]

Didnt know where to put this, but with the posting about ball movement, and kicking efficiency, it is worth noting who our best kicks are, and how many games they have missed:

Your AFL club's best kickers

Ever wondered who are the best kicks in the AFL? With the help of Champion Data, we've dug into the numbers to find the answers.

www.espn.com.au

Richmond​

Most kicks: Jayden Short (345)
Best short kick: Shane Edwards (+13.9%)
Best long kick: Kane Lambert (+12.5%)
Best kick under pressure: Nathan Broad (+30.6%)
Best kick for goal: Jack Graham (+24.4%)
Best overall kicking efficiency: Nick Vlastuin (+10%)

The eye test says Dustin Martin is one of the competition's best kicks, but he doesn't top any category at the Tigers in 2021. Another real surprise. Broad is the AFL's best kick under pressure while Graham sits in the top five for kicks at goal.

Dimma’s big challenge will be this off season where he rebuilds the team, coaches box and comes back with a new game plan.
