Re: Damien Hardwick to coach Richmond Football Club

He sounded pretty impressive in his presser.

From the sound of his voice I wouldn't like to be a current player who lacks a little courage and drive as you may find your way onto the scrapheap ( Looking at you Jordy)

He was impressive and given he is now on record of placing the winning of contested football a priority players like McMahon won't have long to show him that they are capable of it.
It's always harder to put these words into action but if he is capable of getting this group to respond they might start to make some improvements.

Re: Damien Hardwick to coach Richmond Football Club

I was interested in some of his speech. Gave the media and the richmond people what they wanted to hear, when he assessed the team as on the edge of greatness. I don't think thats the case.
I also hear people say that Richmond have a good midfield, Cousins has been excellent but who else is there? Delidio is ok but Tambling isn't. I don't think they have a class ruck either.

Tambling has been good in a role across HB. Foley is pretty good in the middle (has struggled with his body this year) and Cotchin looks a likely type. Tuck has been a solid contibutor over the journey, but butchers the ball. Their midfield certainly isn't the worst going around.

Simmonds up until this year has been pretty serviceable in the ruck. Vickery & Graham look like 2 pretty good long term options.

Forgot Cotchin still wouldn't think they are in the top 8 of midfields.

I heard him on SEN last night and he sounded like Grant Thomas - it was all about 'getting the process right', 'going forward' and 'blueprint for the future'.

He learnt from his past mistakes, he was too honest with Essendon when he went of the job there, now he spun it as much as possible.
