Best coach in my lifetime, will be missed & very difficult to replace. Hardwick changed the way the game was played, his impact was so telling that the AFL had to change the rules to stop Richmond winning. That to me is the highest compliment a coach can receive, even though the socialist agenda ensured there would be no more cups for Richmond. I also think Hardwick is a classic case of allowing a coach to grow into a role. The dream team of Jackson & Hardwick pliable in the face of a changing game, both had to modify their approach and both rose to the challenge. 2017-2020 the gift that keeps giving, those memories will never be erased. Thank you Dimma and the best of luck with your future endeavors.
