AstuteTiger said::rofl :rofl was thinking the same thing, ur referring to when he was interviewed for the essendon job!
Tigers of Old said:There will be some sleepless Tigers atm.
Tigerbob said:I heard that if he was awarded the Richmond job, he would be immediately released from his Hawthorn position.
If that is the case, I would imagine so.
I am a massive supporter of Damian as you know mate, and he has that steel that will be required to take on our job.
A lot of work to do, he has my support, let's get behind him and take this club back to where we belong.
TigerForce said:Has he ever yelled out "I'll spew up"?..........please say no. ;D
Tigerbob said: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.

Tigerbob said:Yep.
The last time he took a Hawthorn Football Club laptop. He had all the information stored on it, then at the very last minute, they said he couldn't take intellectual property with him to Essendon. Fair enough too I might add. Anyway, beginners mistake. He didn't have time to impress on the powerpoint presentation.
He obviously didn't make that mistake with us.
The other part of the interview was that Hardwick was scathing of the bombers list, and wanted to clean it out. They didn't and went with Knighta who said he can achieve a Premiership with the current crop of youngsters. Essendon didn't want ruthless after Sheedy.
We need a ruthless approach. I think March's call for something like 14 players who could take the club forward would have been something Damien preached.
Therefor, he is the man for our job.
