Hardwick

It’s none of our business but the impact it will have will be significat.

For a club that has preached ”family and culture” it’s less than ideal.

Will come up all year, an unwanted distraction.

This culture word shitts me.
When your wining flags, your 'so called' culture is unbelievable.
But when your shitt for 37 years, your culture isn't good.
It's *smile*.
Just harden up. 44 blokes + coaches and staff *smile* will always happen.
If we lost this years flag, the media wouldve used the 'Fingers up the bum' and the Covid breaches for the loss.

Just when I thought Bitcoin was heating up... the media love to dig at anything Richmond and it is only the 4th of Jan, unbelievable, what else can they take aim at to distable the club. This is none of our business, and the players - we will see, just like Bitcoin you just never know what will happen next.

It also preaches imperfections and mistakes. People’s vulnerability.
From what I have heard this didn’t just happen. Was well known throughout the year. We still won the premiership.

Just imagine if every non football issue was published in the media.
There wouldnt enough room for any other story.
Hardwick isn't the first and wont be the last.

Not sure it will be significant Scoop. If its been going on for a while then any impact would have been felt last year also. The players looked closer than ever during the finals.
 
When your losing, your ugly and very unattractive but when you start winning your suddenly better looking and much more attractive.

My cat could coach us to a flag.
The team is too good.

Massively understating the influence that Hardwick has had on the group. He has developed into a terrific coach, up there as nearly our best ever probably.

If Vickery and Griffens stayed
Hardwick would be a fart in the wind.
He was forced to change.
Bulter Castagna Rioli And Riewodlt made Hardwick

People here living in the real world or what ?.How many people seperate or get divorced and start a new relationship with a work colleague or a friend. What's the big deal Cotchin invited his family for a gathering.

Let's not be digging in the bin trying to find something like the media a with a headline club made a statement move on.People saying it will affect playing group or staff was no issue up in the hub or our flag.

Given what the rumours were, this is a good outcome. So a separated bloke starts seeing someone else who just happens to work for the same organisation & is younger than him - big *smile* deal. Happens every day. She’s not a subordinate to him, so it’s not a power thing either. Good luck to him. The players should have no say or issue with it. It’s not their business.

Playing group and staff would have known long ago, well before the finals. Nothing new . No effect on playing group and club.
Yes our culture recognises we are all vulnerable and all make good and bad decisions. Just more proof of this. Will be taken in our stride.

You didn't strike me as a cat person zips, I had you pegged as a Rottweiler or Pitbull type of guy ;)
 
But the Herald Sun reported it has “rocked staff within the club and could affect the playing group”.

Normally i take quotes like that with a pinch of salt.
But that's my question to the club.

We've taken a lot of hits by media, could this one be the one that breaks us?
Or will it do the opposite, again.
The quote is effectively meaningless. Any News like that you could "rock you" ... once rocked do you keep working or crawl under the desk and suck your thumb? And for how long?

Could affect the playing group. Again a sweeping statement. How much and for how long is just a guess.

“We will we will rock you! “

Exactly.
Do you think a professional athlete punching through his 10th 400m in the Summer heat gives a *smile*?
Players will be fine.
