I'm still hopeful we'll go for Hinkley.
With Hardwick there'd always be the Port Adelaide thing in the back of everyones mind.

That's easily fixed we sign him to 3 years with a clause that allows him to go to Port if he wants to after 2 years but has to trade their first round pick to Richmond every year he is there for a Mars bar.
CC TIGER said:
yeah but they're a crap opinions and some of his opinions (ie. his sheedy agenda) were hurting the club
WesternTiger said:
well 5 of them should go. would be a bad call to let cuz go, but if that was what hardwaick wanted to do then i can live with that.
Inspector said:
i'm all for getting kouta. michael wilson would be an interesting choice. is he doing any coaching? i know he does some commentary for SEN
yellow_and_black said:
how many coaches in the past 20 years have jumped ship and gone to their old club? i can't think of too many.
WesternTiger said:
Surely Richo and Cuz MUST stay. I can submit a list of at least 15 duds that should be delisted before either of those 2 are even considered. If Hardwick does get the gig, he wouldn't want to delist these 2 and keep duds like JON, Polak, McMahon, Polo, Pettifer, McGuane, Pattison, Hislop, Thomson, Hughes, Moore, etc, etc......

There are no stupid ideas, just stupid people
I know i'm slow but what has Jade done wrong? Hinkley, Hardwick, dammit gromit (anyone but wallace) are a risk as coach. Rawlings from where i stand has made a great start is now best positioned to make decisions on player futures.Whoever gets the coaching job out of the two finalists at best has an outsiders perspective and about a month until they have to make crucial list decisions.. hardly ideal. Another year potentially lost to go with the past 5.
On the subject of Richo and Cousins ..keep Cousins and decide if Richo can be our Bradley or Harvey ie play into his late 30's if his body is sound his dedication to the cause can't be faulted and there will be a lot of youngsters you would expect who will need to see genuine champions and the level required for a premiership ...hence keep Cousins and subject to physical firmness Richo.

Craig Cameron as list manager has overall responsibility and has had plenty of time to make decisions on who should go.
An outsiders perspective is probably what we need if we want to really change things around. Rawlings might have an understanding of the list but he would also have his favourites. With Hinkley or Hardwick everyone has a clean slate and has to effectively re-establish themselves as best 22 players.dire said:

lets be serious. what value has campbell brought so far. we need to toughen the club up. johnson and campbell should be sent packing.
if were gonna start the miracle turnabout of this club, lets start fresh.
dud players to go even if that mean 12 gone, dud coaches to go also...
Not sure if it was extended as such, pretty sure they lured him to the club with a 3 yr deal.

The "you would think" was in relation to the fact that he is contracted not what he has brought to the table re. coaching.
We can at least expect a big preseason from either these 2 canditates concentrating on fitness and skill.
structures said:
I think the playing group will be expecting their hardest training preseason in their AFL career.
geoffryprettyboy said:
they actually said that during the telecast, something along the lines of regardless of which candidate gets the gig, these players are in for a pre-season the likes of which they have never had before.
Tiger74 said:
Just follow Cuz.
I'll be looking forward to this pre-season training. First time in 5 years and hopefully it's not as brainwashing as Wallace's was in 2004/05.
Hickley is now the clear favourite, has said exactly what the heirarchy of the RFC wanted to hear. As for Harddick, well sometimes telling the truth isn't really good. Apparently Damien has read the RFC the Riot Act and has advised them he will be taking the broom and sweeping most of the footy department out the door and will bring his own team to take over. Apprently some softcokks at the RFC are bitter about his proposed changes and the truth and don't like that too much.
