Damien Hardwick On SEN This Morning

[Spirit of Jack]

Public speakers often repeat phrases without knowing - which is less than ideal for comms as it becomes distracting. Dimma has "really pleasing", which seems to be in the manual for every coach. "The fact of the matter is" is another one Dimma favourite trotted out every second sentence. I'm shocked our media people don't point it out. Perhaps they do and he doesn't give a rats.

And when they ask about *smile* they shouldn't be, and they know it, they either a) think they doing "journalism", or b) it's cos that's what the people wanna to hear about. GAGF.

"Looking forward to the challenge" is his number one favourite by a country mile.

While you were of finding yourself in the foothills of Nepal I have bought up the question previously, how the hell does the clear best side in the league get penalised more then any other team? If your playing a style that’s winning surely your playing the game correctly

It was actually the dive bars of NYC but anyway.

Free kick differential for Richmond since 2016 H&A:

2016 - 10th (ah the good ole days).
2017 - 18th (here we go....);
2018 - 18th (who'd have thought);
2019 - 13th (whilst unflattering, pleasantly surprised);
2020 - 17th (shocked).

No surprises as to who's been on the positive end of the differential rankings regularly........

On just the free kick count on its own, we don't fare as badly (13th, 4th, 17th, 5th, 4th respectively), but who cares if you're getting 50 frees a game if your opponent is getting 100 Dwayne !

None of it matters.

"Looking forward to the challenge" is his number one favourite by a country mile.

My Dimma bingo quotes include those above and:

"Going forward"
"I'm very lucky"
"Look"

By the way a very very average footballer

True. But he was a way better football player than he is a commentator.

 

[Smoking Aces]

Well, exactly. And that then starts taking us down the path of the overt media bias against Richmond.

(FFS I heard that dhead Dwayne Russell say the other day that Richmond gets a lot of free kicks and then went on to explain why, like we were some sort of umpires favourite or something. We've been last to near last for free kick differential for the last 4 years in a row now and get creamed by them like no other team you idiot !!!!)

Haha. I heard that as well. Nearly drove off the road. Useless the lot of them!

Tommy used to drop his "g"s...... don't think he gave a continental.
But few football figures stray from a finite number of phrases, just arrange them in a different sequence when they want to say something different.

He does have some phrases that he says all the time.

For example:

“Look, we’ve got plenty of motivation to win another premiership”

I’ve lost count of how many times he’s talked about winning more premierships. I don’t mind him being a bit repetitive though.

Buggered if I can find the correct thread!

Will bet everything I own that Caro will go hard again tonight towards Damien on Footy C.

Turmoil at Richmond. the captain, Bachar and others not happy with Hardwick. She will quote her sources that the Board are concerned, that mediation was required, so forth and so on. An arrogant club, bla bla.

Its already on the footy on nine twitter feed.

She's running out of stories...

I was waiting for Blobbo to ask Dimma on AFL360.

He was alluding to it I reckon when Dimma said he had good people around him...... "Who are they?".... in that smartarse tone of his!

Guessing it's gunna be on that Caro's arrow bit where she big notes n waffles n hangs *smile*. Just wondering if she's somehow related to that Duursma flog n his bow n arrow trick.

You read my mind TBV. You can sense he was heading that way.

 

[tigers1980]

Caro = irrelevant

Is Cornes on as well?

 

[Redford]

Was just thinking, how the **** didn’t Hardwick win the AFLCA Coach of the year award last year ? Hinkley didn’t even make the GF, but Hardwick coached a Premiership in the most difficult year in AFL history and did it having to play almost the entire season away from home. What the....???

Unreal.
