Can you summarise please?
Did he say he has an out clause and will come across?Fantastic words from McRae
He wasn't sure as there is no official announcement.Fantastic words from McRae
I'll take it. Unless it's internal, I just can't accept a new coach now. We're gonna be at square one all over again.Hoping Dimma comes out tomorrow and says "you all just got Punk'd."
Yep. Dimma lost the players? That’s not what the players say.I don't think so. Every player that has retired started to cry when they mentioned Dimma. The players love him.
Watching the 2nds, it's not a bad idea...Steve Morris come on down to the big time!
Totally agree, new coach to take many new players on the journey.A first time senior coach for me, they seem to have the most flag success in recent history gojng back a quarter century or so:
C Scott, Goodwin, Dimma, Simpson, Beveridge, Clarko, Longmire, Thompson, Worsfold, Roos, Williams, Sheedy, Pagan (Malthouse and Matthews ruin the streak)
If only.Did he say he has an out clause and will come across?
Same here. Let's hope there's no sub-story attached to this decision. Blobbo's already asked Wimpy if Dimma could be some part to the Horks investigation.I'm shocked by the timing, thought it may have been at the end of the season, but it is time and if his heart is not fully into then he may as well finish now.
No shame in it; job is done. 3 flags and transformed a rabble into a powerhouse once again. I believed there was a very good chance I'd never see another flag during those 37 years in the abyss. But he gave us 3!! What an era.
Thanks Dimma; everyone's time comes and the time is right now. Enjoy a well deserved rest. The club will be fine going forward; in no small part to your work.
If it turns out to be fake then Morris would be finished in the media.He wasn't sure as there is no official announcement.
Imagine if it is false news, then Tom Morris should be in jail....
Still nothing on that’ site.WHy isn't this news on AFL or our website? Not even on the Hun?
If it is true, our dynasty is OVER!!!
wow, he must be in a bad way. Would’ve loved to see him have a farewell game.Effective immediately. They won't get to play for Dimma one last time
Really. Where did you hear that?Effective immediately. They won't get to play for Dimma one last time
Oh dear.Shocked. Sad. Tiger immortal.
Upcoming retirement's of Chimp, Jack etc etc won't be the same without Dimma guiding them through it.
Benny is going to need all his mastery (if he stays) to help the coaching staff keep the senior players heads up or the rest of this season could get very ugly. They admire Dimma so much the letdown could be large.
Unfortunately no Fly, Leppa, Kingsley etc to hand over to in the immediate term. McQualter the longest service Dimma disciple to hold the fort.
Don't underestimate how difficult it is going to be to replace such a huge personality and idol, let alone his motivational and tactical acumen.
