Yep and the senior players won't want to waste another year at this stage of their careers.
Tail may well wag the dog before too long.

There is much more to play out between now and season's end.
Hardwick can't be feeling all that safe and secure at the moment.

That's the worst possible result. When players have influence on who coaches, you may as well pack up and go home.

The one way to ensure none of them will ever win a flag....

Why do you think Hardwick was re-appointed for another two years.

This is why we will never win a flag under Hardwick.

In fairness we weren't a threat in the 30 years before he was appointed. So not sure blaming him for this is fair.

Blame him for not winning a single final, but not his fault we won't win flags....

I noticed that Hardwick has apologised to Martin so for those who jumped on Hardwick's comments to stick the boots in to Dusty maybe a bit of humble is in order.
Hardwick's Mitch Morton moment. When he starts getting personal, he starts losing the players.
The tide is turning.
 
Good point Mark Lee.

Burns me that Mitch Morton is a Premiership player and the likes of Richo, Knightah, Cambo, Newie, Delids, AstonMartin, Cotch, JumpingJack are not.

But according to Italian Tiger, none of those players would deserve it cos it's their fault we're no good, not the coach's.
 
150 games for Dusty this week against the Pies which means he qualifies for RFC life membership.

Whilst Dimma has rightly had his fair share of critics recently I reckon he's played a bit part in the maturation of Dustin as a person and has also played a considerable role in the footballer he's now become.

On that basis I'll post one of my all time favourite Dusty pics here with Dimma.

and a collection of don't argues which always put a smile of on any Tiger supporters face.

Post of the week oldie, love it.

Theres a pretty strong theme in the facial expressions of the fendees: Hapless
 
My favourite Dusty don't argues were in his second year, against North. 33 touches, 4 goals and a selection of textbook stiffarms. I reckon he pushed one bloke clean over. Might have been Spud Firrito. Good times.
 
Good work ToO....funny how he just doesn't e en bother to look at the tackler, it's like just get the *smile* out of my way .

Hate been negative but think he may be using it a bit much, his got a brilliant side step, just think his getting caught a bit more often, just needs to mix it up a bit.
 
great post ToO

but reckon we could get two 1st rounders for him..... :lol

Yep Firrito. Not a small man. First time i thought to myself that Dusty is no ordinary footballer
