I cant help but think something was off the whole preseason.
He already has something lined up....accountants dont make emotional decisions.
Will take the rest of the year off and return as coach at Gold Coast...thats my guess.
Kudos to him as he is a Richmond Legend.
If we handle this well we can bounce back very quickly.
Agree gold coast bound ,with his great mate clarko
 
Browne said last night when he got the news he contacted Hardwick to confirm and didnt hear back and he called the club and they asked that he hold off until the announcement this morning.
Asking a reporter to hold off on the biggest story of the year....not going to happen.
If they didn't want it out just deny it.

By Hardwick’s decision.
They were first made aware of it when contacted by Brown yesterday afternoon and asked him to stall the announcement. Balme didn’t know anything as of yesterday early evening. Said he thought the report must be wrong.
If that is true the club weren't aware, Browne must have got the info from Dimma or more likely via his partner either first or second hand.
Very un-Richmond like. Disappointing.

We need another successful premiership coach to replace Dimma with Simmo feeling the heat in the West he might throw his hat in the ring.
call me high falutin', but I'm of the strong belief that one non-negotiable for an AFL coach is the ability to string a sentence together.

Dimma, as he has done so many times in the past, says or does something to focus away from his players after a *smile* performance and put it all on him.

Though this time it's a bit extreme and the last time he'll do it.

I did think that. Maybe it is all a ruse!
 
Tigers will appoint someone with a very high priority of being a player manager whom gells people together after seeing what that type of coach achieves such as Dimma,fly.

Grigg? One can only speculate, he seems that type.

Just realized the last time I stopped to watch a live press conference was when he was appointed coach and some old granny gave the media a bake at the end and told them to leave him the hell alone.
