"Hardwicks beliefs when he spoke to Balme".
We all know what Hardwick's beliefs were, coz we saw them year after year with our own eyes.
Did you enjoy his gameplan last year?
It was simply woeful.
Must be pure coincedence that Hardwick's game plan has been completely transformed.
Nothing to at all with Balme,Leppa & Carecella.
A Dimma disciple till the end Remote?

"Dimmas disciple to the end"

I don't think so - I have bashed him - harpooned him and down right slandered his game plan of last year - but you have to admit there is a striking similarity to the this years game plan and the 2013 game plan?

If the buck stops at the head coach for poor performance it also stops there for good performance........capish?
 
The boys are playing with purpose, system and desire. Would that have anything at all to do with the coach?
 
Sounds like we have a rare PRE consensus that the joint coaching team is doing well, whoever is responsible. Let us celebrate this moment, brothers and sisters.
 
Let's not get carried away.
Dimma is lucky.
So far, we haven't played teams above us on the ladder. :cutelaugh :cutelaugh :cutelaugh

september.

let's all lift our gazes, people.

Dimma's big boy month in 2017.
Only three games in and you're already so far ahead of yourself, you're travelling quicker than Daniel.

September n big boy month is always the end game, but that's still months of hard work away. Know it's there n speculating n dreaming about finals is always fun in the afterglow of a win. Fifty years of following the Tiges simply reinforces the old one game at a time, enjoy the ride as it travels along.
 
I love Neil Balme in the coaches box.
I feel that his impact on the coaching panel has been huge.
Still early days, but to be 3-0 is massive for the RFC.
I'll give him his dues, whatever his role Hardwick is a part of this great start to the season.
 
Might need to ask the stats man about what % of teams with a 3-0 start fail to make the finals

Hardwick is being carried by good people around him appointed by others, namely Balme.
Balme has been the catalyst for change, not Hardwick.
Guesswork based on your own prejudice

At the end of the day all I can say is, thank God for Neil Balme.
And thank you too Benny.
Thank you for ending all that stability farce.
After all you eventually did what many of us had been calling for throughout those long long years of your fingers crossed and hoping phase.
You finally capitulated and appointed someone capable to run our football department.
I feel like popping a champagne cork on this dreary Sunday morning.

At 4-0 or 5-0 we'll be stiff to miss September
 
Hardwick, Carracella, Leppitsch and Balme are the reason we are winning. Excellent decision making by the board

BUT we are not 4 zip.

Let's just beat Brissie first then focus on our next win till we climb that mtn of 13 wins.

It's a long road ahead and it's a very even comp this year.

Yep. We normally do well against Brisbane but I see this as a potential banana skin game for us.

Forced to implement change kicking and screaming by Hardwick's abysmal coaching.

Yep, I don't think they've beaten us for 10 seasons. I reckon 10 seasons is about as long as a "hoodoo" lasts which is why I reckon we,lol best Geelong this season.

True. But we could also do a Norf Smelbourne n start the year ten zip, then barely raise a wet fart for the rest of the year.

I can already hear the howling n ranting that such a result would ensure.

Been around way to long to wet my knickers over a couple of early season wins, just happy to be able to strut a little in my Tiger cap on the way into the ground knowing I'm going to get a full on contest for now.
I'll draw a deep breath n get ready to hyperventilate if we're in the eight once September finally rolls around.

They beat us in 2009. We have time.
