that's a much better post from you dude. people who know me know I have been saying this for years, but Dimma does not coach in the same way he plays. he is a soft coach who treats the players with kid gloves. His outward persona to me suggests he has never given the players a decent spray in his time as coach. Nor has he ever (as far as I know) smashed them with a dawn training session after a really pathetic loss. Some would argue this is how modern footy is, but I still think there is a time and a place for some of these old school techniques.

Pretty sure I remember some players coming out and saying they copped a fair spray after 'one of the many' poor performances we have seen over the years. While I would like Hardwick gone, what is the point in making stuff up?

Ah, here we are...

"Richmond coach Damien Hardwick slams his team after disappointing loss to Essendon

RICHMOND coach Damian Hardwick delivered a withering spray to his players after their disappointing 50-point loss to Essendon, and later conceded the Tigers were “a very mediocre football side at the moment’’.

Asked about yelling at the Richmond players behind closed doors in the rooms after the final siren, Hardwick said “the performance validated it’’.

“We dish up that sort of performance I think it’s fair, to be expected,’’ Hardwick said. “You get belted in contested ball, you get belted in tackles, you’re a fair chance to expect a spray at the end of the game..."

Wasn't fighting for his career back then, K3.

I wonder who this year's Mitch Morton will be?

My money's on Ben Lennon.
 
I'll underline the areas I was replying to, for both you and Ian.

pretty obvious where the 'I'm so proud of the boys' comes from.

he's vulnerable and he desperate to keep the players onside.

I doubt he even blasted the players behind closed doors for fear of losing them again.

when a coach is compromised like that, time to go :hihi

If you want to state something as fact, cool. Just be ready for it to be pointed out when it isn't.

Yes, I am sick of the pages and pages of made up nonsense to promote an agenda. Opinions are great, let's just keep them as that.

Here's the logic K3.

1. I don't like Hardwick.
2. Good coaches do X and Y
3. Therefore, Hardwick doesn't do X or Y
4. Present the statement that Hardwick doesn't do X or Y as fact
5. Profit!!!

And that is the more logical structure, often not taken...

On point 5, just how much profit are we talking here??? ;D

It's a deal, though you might be taking this site too seriously. We're all just rabid fans having beers and darts on the terraces.

Can def see where you're coming from though.

had the same reaction spook.

Instruction must be 'Play like little kids for a quarter and then we'll throw the anchor out' :headscratch

I guess it a pointer for the punter to value add with the under 39.5?
