Yep - and the updated story is that he's accepted less money than he might taken in order to keep the whole footy department spend under the cap.
I think he's actually taken a pay cut.

Hope that's a lesson to the playing group as well.
 
Is it strange that there were no rumors of any other teams looking to grab him? Out of contract (at the end of this year) premiership coach.

1 year too long. More important to sign Leppa and Caracalla :hihi

Hardwick has actually accepted a lower remuneration contract over the 3 years in order to keep the RFC coaching team and football department together.

Not strange bc everyone can see he loves coaching this group and they love him. He was never going to look elsewhere so they would have been wasting their time even if they had squillions of $$ to offer him.

I thought Caracalla was going to take over.

Exactly like Buckley taking over from Malthouse, smooth :hihi

Hardwick deserves all the pats on the back, he took over a basket case, a shocking list, shocking recruiting smoothered in even worse drafting after losing 9 games in a row to start his career, he got us back in finals, then was able to change enough to see this club once again after more then 35 years win a flag.
I've would've just Sheedyed him and kept on as long as possible. The players love him
 
There is so much love at Punt Road now we all must thank Bernie for the love approach. At the end of the 2016 season no love at Punt Road just angst. Bernie not to be deterred ventured overseas on a sabbatical & found the love approach which transformed the Tigers from boiled lollies to chocolates.
 
Congrats Dimma well earned. Amazing considering 12 months ago he would have been favourite in the Coaches to be sacked market.
 
Often wondered early doors why Dimma didn't build a team like he played the game given he was hard as nails.
Well he's got one now. There's going to be plenty of opposition players put in hospital this season..
 
Bernie is keen on Lynch but I aint. Do not think he has the ticker when things get tough & that is where it counts.
