Turn it up leon. I have said repeatedly that Hardwick was behind the 2013 game plan. Where have I said otherwise?
Mind you, this is the same game plan that fell to sh!t when C Judd kept getting clearances in the EF.
Also the same game plan that had me frustrated with the amount of points we were kicking due to forward congestion.
Hardwick rolled out a different plan in 2014 and there are media articles to confirm that he received player input when we hit the crisis of 3-10.
From there it was chaos football that saw us slump into the finals series without adequate rest and recovery. A far cry from you're "strong wind" nonsense. Hardwick was the main problem in 2014.
2015 represents a determined effort from coach and players to stick to an accountable style that was difficult to watch. Again, we miss the top four by losing tight games where in-game tactics were called into question. Our inability to stop NM in the third quarter was clearly a coaching failure as our players gave their all that day. I challenge anyone to say otherwise. We lost our structure for one and a half quarters where brad Scott, no genius himself, clearly had the edge over Hardwick.
And on to 2016. We didn't suddenly lose skill and talent. What we lost was belief. The players lost faith in the plan. It was obvious, particularly the last six rounds. Look at the abject performance against St Kilda if you need an example.
These are observable factors Leon, despite your warped excuse making.
Now how about being fair dinkum?
