Re: Hardwick press conference
I'd say most people on here would have no idea either way. I bet if Damien got the North job he wouldn't be saying "bugger I really wanted the Richmond job" just the same.

Re: Hardwick press conference
Team first and competitive at the ball when it's your turn. Not a bad place to start
Seems like an honest bloke who won't tolerate rubbish. I wouldn't be disappointed if his legacy was to bring a reputation for hardness, disciplined team play to Tigerland
Appears genuinely happy to coach the Tiges, but probably would have taken any senior job as long as it was available now
Best of luck Damien

Which means the RFC for the first time in nearly three decades have managed to put their pride aside and admit to having f'd up.

Re: Hardwick press conference
Agree. Wasn't it great to see a hype-less presser for once.

In theory yes. Let's not hold our breath, there will be a lot of water to go under that bridge before we see any sign of a blueprint for success.

Re: Hardwick press conference
I liked the "We at the Richmond Football Club" line that he used quite a lot. I also liked the bit about "if players don't put there head over the ball, they will find themselves out the door very quickly"
I think that will have a few of the players looking for trades.
As for the not letting the jumper hit the floor quote. My reading of it, is to mean that you must have pride in the "colours" & if you disrespect the jumper "colours" you disrespect the Club & all who went before you.

Re: Hardwick press conference
This guy will succeed. You can see it in his eyes and you can hear it in his words.
I was imparessed with his quote about sentiment...which spells an end to many careers and indicates that he has the balls to make the tough calls.
If he culls some fo the sacred cows then so be it. If it brings him success and makes the players work hard excellent.
Many of his quotes should have the softies looking at their contracts or fearing the "come and have a chat with me" messages.
Go Damien....stick it up those who do not value their opportunity and those that do not place any pride in their jumper and the team.

Re: Hardwick press conference
I liked the reference to "The eleventh Premiership of the Richmond football Club."
I do believe it has been some 25 years since I last considered that possibility as anything other than a dream. What's that old mantra? Everything begins as a thought. Its a quote from Confucius or Buddha or someone.
Everything begins as a thought. The eleventh Premiership of the Richmond Football Club. Good Luck, Damien.

Re: Hardwick press conference
Spent a fair bit of time talking this over with Tiger family and friends today. My opinion: Win, Lose or draw a physically and MENTALLY strong side (with improved skills) is all i expect next year. Ladder position is irrelevant to me. Lets build long term.
