Damien Hardwick

So predicatable. Promotion for tonight's Footy Classified, I told yous!


Outside the eight after another bizarre finish, their discipline under the microscope, and now with Damien Hardwick facing an AFL investigation over a verbal exchange at a VFL game, are the Tigers feeling the heat? #9FootyClassified | TONIGHT 10:10PM (AEST) on
@Channel9
Funny how Crutchy makes sh!t up. Dimma could join Port as new coach....:mhihi
 
GWS can have Dusty, Soldo and Dimma for Taranto and Hopper

Maybe that's why Dimma bizarrely said Dusty has his blessing to leave. He just didn't mention that Dusty was going with him.

Since Dimma's split I've always thought he was a high risk to head Interstate.

Sounds like Dimma sounded off in the moment. Yeah, shouldn't have done it but really that sort of incident barely raises an eyebrow, to be honest whoopee f*ck. Didn't Scott of Geelong mouth off at oppo players this year or last? That was at an AFL game too, less fuss than this is getting.

Now, is there going to be any media scrutiny of the gutless Willie player who mowed down Mansell from behind? I know he has a charge to face, but are the media saying anything about the context of the comments Dimma allegedly made? Pretty gutless act by the Willie player when you watch it, if you want to thump someone doing it from behind is pathetic.

Has the Bolton/Rioli feel about it. Standing up to a dog bloke, RFC tick it off but the AFL, with a vendetta against the club, deciding to investigate and, no doubt, fines and suspension coming. AFL....sticking up for mongrels since 2021.

2nd story on Channel 9 news.
2nd story.
I hope you have someone to cuddle at night, if you're getting worked up about this. God help you if you are see what Russia did to the Ukranians.

This was a classic Sir Alex Ferguson trick, Dimma simply created a defection from the players and last game result onto him to himself, brilliant stuff, takes the pressure off the players in a massive do or die week. Legend.

I think that's his point.
It's a non story but is headlining the news when there are far greater stories to cover.

Dimma deflecting the woes of the players onto himself.
This is leadership.
How soft has the world become?

I wish dimma had of jumped the fence and busted the filthy willy cowards jaw.

I dont want faux tough throat slitting mimes,

I want proper tough.

AFL, indeed the world, as a spectacle and culture is on its knees,

We might as well go out swinging

Richmond make the news.
A part from Collingwood or Essedumb, if it was any other club no one in the media would be bothered with it.

I wonder whether Dimma would get a job at AFL house should he want one.........we know there'd be no chance of them accepting Dimma into the fold.
Brad Scott though was welcomed into their boys club after kicking a security guard in Hobart, and doing an on field drive-by on David King.
Go your hardest on Dimma you AFL hypocrites.

"North Melbourne coach Brad Scott said he could not comment on an allegedly physical confrontation he had with a security guard at the weekend, because it was subject to a police investigation."

You need to understand that the allegation is being made fourth hand.

Clarrie reckons he heard Hardwick say….,,

Clarrie told Chris who told Charlie who told Kevvy to tell Ch7 - first hand exclusive news of coup.

And there’s no room for embellishments there.

Yep, breaking news we have an exclusive we heard it from Jockey Magee didn’t we?

Oops, Clarrie is the Clocker and he didn’t hear it from the horse’s mouth.

Sound basis for the AFL to scrutinise the Tigers.

Anyway, purgatory a fair sentence the AFL says. All Tigers deserve that after grabbing three flags with role players.
Straight from the horse's mouth ...

got more than enough cuddle love General.
Including that I also dont choose to take the micky out of fellow posters. Low form of discourse IMO.

Its a story. Its even got an AFL investigation.
Dimma's emotional lack of control might be great for a gee up, prob not the most powerful form of consistent leadership.
No matter, its my view. Either way, I dont choose to take the micky out of others.

The AFL media have a theme or story of the week, every week. They need something to talk about, even if it's overblown. You can proceed to get sucked in by things, or see it for what it is, noise.
The club have said they consider it closed. The AFL has to be seen to be doing something. Dimma may get a fine, he'll be contrite and everyone will move on.
It's a nothing story.

As someone else said above, now everyone is talking about him and our retirements and no one is worried about our very "Richmondy" performances. I don't think it was a deliberate ploy from Dimma, but I don't think we should get worked up about a news story either.
Take a breath, let it go. There's going to be 100 more of these stories before he quits or is sacked. Not all of them about RFC.
