Just wondering that if the announcement was to happen tomorrow, how did it get out tonight???
There are so many leaks at the club that it's just not funny. The leaks need to be found or our club will go no where.

If it was leaked, then the shine has been taken off the coaching appointment for me.

We've been talking about this today, when the 2 other clubs find out it can't be kept confidential any more.

This time he brought his own laptop and he went to a club in desperate need of his ruthless philosophies.... ;)
Hope that ruthless streak shows its head in the player cull very shortly.

Yeah we will, but god help him if we get served up the same old crap.

Thats for sure but something tells me we won't.

He is as honest as the day is long, will not make a good salesman mate, which for guys like me and you, would appreciate after the last guy.

Ruthless, that's one word I keep hearing with him.

Let's hope it is the case.

How do we know this TigerBob? Everyone is saying he's as tough as nails - but apart from how he was a player, how do we actually know this?

I know nothing about the bloke to be honest.

::) ::)
The candidates have been told.
They would have told their current employer and or anyone else they want to.
Your concerns are a non issue, there hasnt been a leak from the club.
The press conference tomorrow is just the official announcement. No realistic person expected the club to turn up to the media conference at 10:30 and reveal the mystery man.

He has my full support, but will need to earn my full confidence. Been burned too many times and have scars to prove it.

I will be interested in the details and what happens over the next 3 months.
he will be very keen to prove all the "no thanks", that they erred

No its not Russy, ive posted this below on page 2....

Some saying how it got out, hutchy said on monday the press conference will be on wed but the candidates will be told on Tuesday, once both are told it will get out no way around it....As the new coach will inform his employer which he is obligated to do and in hinkleys case he will say that he didnt get the job, from there it spreads like wild fire, thats fine as we get press "just saw the commercial break" will be in the papers 2moro, also the press conference 2moro at 10.30am, then in the papers again on thursday as to follow up on the press conference itself then come friday its game day tiges V WC, ahh we'll dominate the papers again, well for a few days anyway like when we got the cuz!

It's what we keep hearing from the people out of Hawthorn.

I have heard players interviewed, in the media and at lunches etc where they have all commented on this aspect of Damien.

I have never discussed his playing ability in my talking about him the coach. Two separate things that I keep distanced.

My thoughts and what I hear is about Damien Hardwick, the coach.

We will all find out.
 
I just hope Hardwick's reputation as being a hardnosed ruthless bastard isn't from some documentary called "Year of the Hawk" or something like that.

That's good to know - sorry, didn't mean to say you were basing your opinions on how he was as a player, just that no-one had really stated how they know he's 'tough as nails' and 'ruthless'.

Lets just hope that he doesn't do an Obama, and actually delivers on what he promises and is the hard arse the Richmond Football Club needs.

Would love to see McMuffin's and Nathan Brown's faces tonight. Ha!
