imho the person Dimma misses most in all the people we’ve lost recently is Fly , I’d neally say he’s by far our biggest loss and equal of importance to Peggy, Benny and Dimma
Correct and let’s don’t forget Leppa .There is a reason Pies have won 9 straight and we lose the unlosable games
You're a funny bloke. Where's the FOS crew when we need 'em? Especially the combover guy.
Classic stuff, the kudos go to the assistants, the barbs go to the head coach.
Being Richmond probably could incur a 4 weeks suspension.
Sources at the game said Hardwick, the AFL’s longest-serving current senior coach, called opposition players “weak f--king pricks” and challenged them.
Senior Williamstown officials on Sunday night said the club was seeking a “please explain” from Richmond after the embarrassing exchange, which could also be scrutinised by the AFL.
In a club statement, Richmond confirmed that Hardwick was involved in a dispute.
“The club acknowledges there was an exchange of words following an incident in the first quarter which led to a Williamstown player being reported for rough conduct,” it said. “As far as the club is concerned, that is the end of the matter.”
The Tigers did not say whether Hardwick would be fined or sanctioned over the controversy.
A Williamstown official said fans reported Hardwick’s first-quarter outburst to officials at quarter-time.
“He verbally abused one of the Williamstown players because of a hit early in the first quarter … there was some sort of verbal altercation with Dimma (Hardwick) verbally abusing the player,” the official said.

The Willy player was report for a weak dog act. The please explain should be sent to that busted ass club not the RFC. Its called assault and it should be challenged every *smile* time by Dimma and everyone else that seen it.
So many premierships between them. Let’s count them all starting at 0.
0… Done.
Club Zip has released a statement.
"The Dog from Williamtown kod one of our players and I just reminded him how shiit he must be playing for Williamtown"

Maybe next year , I think Flys development of players is going to hurt going forward , imho he’s as good as it gets at understanding what makes players tick and they are not all the same robots
There's a confluence of events playing out for Hardwick at the moment. Been bubbling away for a while, I reckon. From where I sit, I believe he's feeling a lot of pressure ... and it's coming from all quarters.
Maybe a chat with Jeff Crowe wouldn't go astray, but who am I to say on that one.

The media bastards are pushing, pushing, pushing on this storm in a teacup. Anything Richmond is just as bad as Richmondy.
