Hardwick press conference/Link [Merged]

Re: Hardwick press conference

I know it's all honeymoon stuff, but I don't think this bloke will let us down. I reckon he'll be true to his words.

Gee he speaks well. I liked the bit he said about never letting the jumper hit the floor.

Sounded very promising. I just like the fact he was SO excited to have the job. He wants to be a winner.
 
Re: Hardwick press conference

Interesting how the appointment of an assistant coach a couple of weeks ago was televised but todays appointment of a senior coach was deemed not worthy. 8)

Way too early to tell.

After the disaster that was Wallace, I'll judge Hardwick on his actions not words.

From the HS live blog

"[Comment From Guest]
Does Hardwick's contract expressly oblige him to ensure the Tiges finish no higher than 9th in any given year? "

this is the type of ridicule we cop these days (from anonymous internet hero btw) but still, here's hoping we can earn some respect back over the next 3 years
 
Re: Hardwick press conference

I think one advantage he had over Hinkley is that he did his homework on us for the 2005 job so he saw another (failed) 5 years of us and is even more aware of how to fix us.
 
Re: Hardwick press conference

Our last coach was a good media performer too. :help

He will make the RFC a better football club and after the last 27 years that is a breath of fresh air.
 
Re: Hardwick press conference

Had fears he,d come across a bit like Frawley.
Glad my Fears were put to rest.
Very impressive.

Hardwick's no media performer. Journos are gonna cop *smile* in years to come (Malthouse like).

Like mb said there was no spin, this wasn't some slick rehearsed thing, it was simply open and honest communication. This should put the fears about how he is as a communicator to rest.
 
Re: Hardwick press conference

Yep was a fairly good presser. Interesting to say that this being his first day would be the worst day of his coaching career as he will get better each day with the experience. Sounds pretty enthusiastic. Now the real hard work begins though.
 
Re: Hardwick press conference

Loved the bit about his daughter asking him if Cyril Rioli was going to Richmond as well.
 
Re: Hardwick press conference

KB still thinks that Kevin Sheedy was the best man for the job!
