The coach is accountable for all aspects of on field performance. If after five years he hasn’t got them to a place where they are playing for him then that speaks about him and not the players.parkeysainter wrote: ↑Sun 05 Aug 2018 10:33pmBecause people hate Richo and want him sacked no matter what.Cairnsman wrote: ↑Sun 05 Aug 2018 10:22pmThe players were playing great in the first. That's what is difficult to explain.

When a team steps it up a gear and starts getting a run on, we don't have players capable of responding and games are taken away from us quickly, usually in under a quarter.BenLong#21 wrote: ↑Sun 05 Aug 2018 9:00pmOk.

107 games. 37 wins.. 68 losses.
Are you saying all 68 losses were just 'bad luck'?
Nup. Players have to take responsiblity for last nights game. The players didn't control the things they could.
Rd 2 v North (52)
Rd 3 v Crows (49)
Rd 4 v Cats (47)
Rd 7 v Demons (39)
Rd 8 v Dockers (30)
Rd 12 v Swans (71)
Rd 18 v Tigers (54)
Last nights game was lost by the players.
Seems like you are very fond of Richo. A true believer.
So job for life?
At what point do you lose the faith? If ever.
Just trying to be objective about last nights game and it was lost by the players because they gave up. They should be embarrassed. They gave up.
And I think you’re mistaken about people hating Richardson. I don’t hate him. Am sure he’s a nice fella and has some excellent personal qualities. However....I’m not interested in that if he can’t coach at AFL level to a level that will bring success. And after five years it appears he can’t.
