Yep -I definitely saw that as a sign too. For his sake I hope Dimma hasn’t come back to coaching too soon. My money is that he has.

Dimma criticising Cumberland reminds me a little bit of Wallace having a go at Morton. It spoke of a desperate and frustrated coach looking for someone else to blame.
Yeezy spent a few years doing an excellent job of the role Cumbo plays, so here's hoping. Cumbo's gotta harden up, though. Stop acting like he's been shot every time he gets a knock, and go again, go again, go again.
I couldn’t give a fat rats clacker if Dimma falls over at the GC. He was a major part in our 3 premierships and will always be remembered and respected for it.
But he’s with his shiney new toys now and should expect nothing from Richmond or its supporters anymore. At least until his time in the AFL is done and then he’d be welcomed back with open arms.

Hardwick made it extremely obvious he was not a fan.
Gets a shot with a new coach. Lets see if he is any good with a fresh slate.
Maybe Dimma thoight that Cumbo needed the tough love. Or sticking to the rules and not giving Cumbo a free pass.
It didnt particularly work this year.
So it will be hella interesting if Yze gets the best out of him.
He's a Cam Raynor type. Super strong in a small marking package. That can be important in big games.
ITs a test for the big Ooze
The public talking down of Cumberland was in hindsight just another example of how Dimma had lost his way this year. The whole mantra of the club 2017 onwards would never had condoned a public admonishing. Behind closed doors yes. And then he had said he didn’t support George enough.
I think tough love is different to public criticism.
You can give him tough love behind closed doors. Doesn’t need to be through the media.
Adem Yze faces a major challenge if he wants to deliver on his goal of taking the Tigers back to the top four
Richmond hasn’t fallen off a cliff but the Tigers are spectacularly mediocre. On pure pound-for-pound talent, they are a long way back. Can Adem Yze return the them to contender status.

“Just to be a part of it was really special.”
First Adem Yze needs to fix Richmond’s game plan.
Then the new Tigers coach needs to make it his mission to find the missing Richmond A-Graders.
Yze’s declaration that Richmond could follow in the footsteps of GWS and bounce back into contention was entirely appropriate for a first-year coach expecting excellence from his players.
But as he admitted, Richmond hasn’t won a final in three seasons.
They haven’t fallen off a cliff post-dynasty but they are spectacularly mediocre.
CEO Brendon Gale’s comments cut to the heart of the matter.
Richmond did miss its most structurally important player in Tom Lynch last year but the Tigers’ famed pressure and contest was often non-existent as they bled inside-50s to moderate opponents.
“We were on the cusp of the eight for most of the year, we were probably teasing a little. At times early in the year we were unrecognisable,” said Gale.
“Dimma acknowledged that. Andrew (McQualter) did a wonderful job getting us back on track. We have got some really good players, we exposed a lot of our youth.
We can play a whole lot better, we will play a whole lot better. There is a saying I will pinch from (Yze). You get stuck in the past, you die in the present. We have to continue to evolve.”
Those missing A graders?
Richmond had only one member of the All Australian 44 in Martin, who turns 33 next year.
On pure pound-for-pound talent and match-winners the Tigers are clearly well behind the likes of Carlton, GWS, Melbourne, Collingwood and Brisbane.
GWS and Melbourne both have two first-rounders this year — Richmond has none — while clubs like Gold Coast which won nine games to the Tigers’ 10 are about to recruit three top-10 academy talents.
So Yze needs to squeeze every drop from this list if he is to finish top four, which to be honest seems an unrealistic goal until the next generation have at least another 40 games under their belt.
Those missing A graders?
Tim Taranto must spend every waking moment over summer working on skill acquisition given Champion Data rated his kicking as poor.
His efficiency by foot in his last six games was 35 per cent, 33 per cent, 46 per cent, 53 per cent, 33 per cent and 36 per cent.
Enough said.
Shai Bolton had another ‘nearly-there’ season kicking 31 goals, while averaging 21.7 possessions and four clearances but can former Dees kicking coach Yze straighten out his wonky right foot after 31.29 and 12 complete misses.
Jacob Hopper, Tom Lynch and Josh Gibcus need luck with the injury gods given Lynch and Gibcus could have been the bookends but played four games between them.
Hopper is a potential A grader but has played 20 games or more in only three of seven seasons, averaging only 17 games.
The back line has huge potential in Gibcus, Noah Balta and the big improver from 2023 in Tylar Young, with Richmond believing they can play 150 games together.
Slot in stars Jayden Short, Daniel Rioli and Nick Vlastuin and it can one day be premiership calibre again.
Then comes the group on which this team will rise or fall under Yze – the 12 or so kids who are yet to make the grade.
Can three become A graders and three turn into the type of dependable role players like Jason Castagna, Marlion Pickett, David Astbury in the premiership years?
That group includes half back Tom Brown (pick 17), Thomson Dow (pick 21), Tyler Sonsie (pick 28), Sam Banks (pick 29), Judson Clark (pick 30), Samson Ryan (pick 40), Noah Cumberland (pick 43), Hugo Ralphsmith (pick 46), Maurice Rioli (pick 51), Jacob Bauer (mid-season draft), Matthew Coultart (mic-season draft), and James Trezise (mid-season draft).
Yze said on Friday “it’s not about the talent, it’s about the character who walks through the doors at the footy club”, but talent is a bloody good start.
Melbourne and Richmond recently won flags by that A-grade talent, but both clubs also maximised their second and third-round picks as Demons like Tom Sparrow, Bailey Fritsch, James Jordon and Harry Petty combined with the blue-chip draftees.
So Yze doesn’t have a moment to waste with a compromised draft hand, a star forward in Lynch coming off dual foot surgeries and a batch of contenders that have gone past the Tigers at a rate of knots.
He will have a honeymoon period and the recent Richmond flags will buy him time with supporters, but if Richmond is to contend again soon he truly would be the new Damien Hardwick.

It sort of did work. If you recall both Cumbo and Sonsie had that awful game against the Suns and both didn't react well. I think both of them ended up learning a lesson (maybe Sonsie took it a little too far !!)
There was a definite change in Cumbo in the vfl and he was playing really good footy and got a recall. He then had that game against the Dogs where he presented really well but kept on making poor skill errors but what I liked about it was he kept presenting. He then got injured.
He is a confidence player and having a new coach may well help him. He is imo incredibly important to our forward line
The George thing was a different situation.
I took that to be about the social media harassment / bullying that extends to players. George and others get undue crap about their football that impacts them as people.
I think Dimma wanted to better protect his players. And saw that George's form suffered and he retired early.
Honestly not much that Dimma couldve done
Adem Yze's honest assessment of Richmond as he takes the reigns at Punt Road - 3AW is Football
New Richmond head coach Adem Yze has given an honest assessment of where the club is at, as he takes on his first senior coaching role.
omny.fm
I just think this bloke will be a good coach.
Lol, Cumbo lacks footy smarts. He's basically brainless out there.
It's frustrating because he has the talent, new coach won't make a difference.

It was interesting to hear Jordan Lewis on fox the other night say Yze sees and reads the game better than anyone he had come across in his time…. Pretty big endorsement
