Coach Damien Hardwick has rebuffed the dissident Richmond board ticket, saying the embattled AFL club is in the best possible hands.Hardwick used his speech at Thursday nights club best and fairest function to call for unity.He strongly endorsed the clubs leadership, singling out president Peggy ONeal and chief executive Brendon Gale for praise.Earlier this week, the Focus On Football group launched their bid to force a spill of the board and said the Tigers were 35 years into a five-year plan.It appeared only one or two members of the Focus On Football group attended the best and fairest night.I personally want to thank Peggy ONeal, the board, Brendon Gale and our administration, Hardwick said.This is an outstandingly run football club and they have a fierce desire to make this club better.We are no doubt in the best hands, I can guarantee you that.At their launch earlier this week, Focus On Football endorsed Hardwick for next season.But they also indicated they would want a briefing from him on the teams game plan.Hardwicks response on Thursday night was to side strongly with the current club leadership and he was met with strong applause from the audience.Good clubs dont fracture when things go bad. They hang tough, he said.We need to trust in our leaders, in Brendon and Peggy, and make sure we back them up at every opportunity.Pointing to Thursday nights West Coast v Western Bulldogs elimination final, Hardwick said the club needed actions and not words.This was the first time in four seasons that the Tigers have missed the finals and Hardwick added the entire club is angry.It hurts - theres a side playing tonight that is giving themselves an opportunity to play in a flag, he said.Its an opportunity that we have missed.I can guarantee you that our playing group are angry and that anger will turn into something special, I feel, next year.But once again, its just talk - what you want and what we will do, is action. Enough of the talk.ONeal also called for unity and not what she called reactionary decisions based purely on emotion.We surely have matured as a club and we cant let anger and finger-pointing define our future, she said.ONeal said the club had made enormous progress in many areas.She said Gales much-anticipated review of their football operations would be public very shortly.The change thats required has never been in question, she said.But this will be well-informed change.ONeal also paid tribute to former club president and player Neville Crowe, who died on September 2.
