Worsfold said today he did not mean to question the Brownlow Medallist's character. Speaking on Perth radio last night, Worsfold angrily lashed out when Hardie criticised West Coast's tactics and team selection in the wake of the club's humiliating 135-point loss to Geelong. Worsfold told Hardie he was building a team that would be capable of premiership success and that it “takes special character to be part of a premiership team, unfortunately you weren't”. When Hardie, who played in a WAFL premiership with South Fremantle but never tasted ultimate glory in the AFL, said: “We got to a prelim ... I died trying with the Bulldogs in 85;” Worsfold replied: “I would question that.” Don't back down Worsfold because you are 100% correct, Hardie was a greedy bastard who cost us a spot in the 1985 Grand Final. He was to worried about his own ego & personal glory in the prelim against Hawthorn, and it cost us the game. Hardie can not talk about anything to do with team play, because the cunt was never one of them at Footscray. Died trying my ass, piss off Brad & take your Brownlow with you.

Brad Hardie did play his guts out for the club, i was there, and he was our best player at the time, his 1985 was remarkable, just brilliant. He was ahead of his times, an attacking defender, ran the lines just unbelievably, and VERY much a team player. Unfortunatly him & Malthouse had a run in, that famous jumper waving episode, we also had a massive chance in getting Brad back. I mean, you tell me, do you put your most attacking defender on a champion in Leigh Matthews? such as putting Gilbee on the oppositions most dangerous forward, or do you put a Morris type on them. Malthouse f##### up that day. Was he trying to make an example out of Brad, during a Preliminary Final?

Honestly though, Mick wasn't a stupid idiot. He would of told Brad for this last quarter, just stick on Matthews and don't move. Everyone has to defend sometimes, you cann't use that excuse in my opinion. Matthews kicked 4 goals in the last quarter, you cann't tell me that Brad would of just though 'oh well i'm an attacking player, it's only 4 goals he kicked'. I still think Brad is to blame. If you told Gilbee in the last quarter of a prelim this year to stick by your man, and not move at all, he would do it. Even though he is an attacking footballer, he would of listened to Rodney & done the team thing.
