Interesting to see if Cotchin runs out this week
It’s 50/50 no certainty
I have no problem with Dimma's exit.
He gave us everything he had. And it was plenty.
We probably would have been better off if he'd pulled the pin at the end of last year. The first half of the season we blew a lot of winnable games, partly due to him being spiritually checked out.
But he championed a dynasty.
He's earned a retirement on the Gold Coast.
As an aside, my suspicion is that GC remain in the bottom half of the ladder during his tenure there.

How so? I believe Dimma to GC and Rance joining him has been in the planning since 2016...
I see it the other way round. Reckon Dimma was coaching just fine early doors, but his senior players had fallen away quite badly.
So he departed quickly, cleanly. Sparing all concerned months of negative chatter.
It was frankly perfect and this supporter thanks him for it.
No one really knows the which is the cause or effect.
His senior players picked up a lot after he left.
As did the kids.
As did the win/loss ratio.
But it's all academic now, seeing the loss of both coach and senior players.
Seriously what on earth are you going on about?
Rance knew Dimma was heading to Suns early last year when he bought his property?
Where you going with this?
I am pretty sure Alex's sister lives on the Gold Coast and he is close to her and her kids, which I suspect is a more likely reason he would be building a house up there.
Word is AFLQ are chipping in out of their state budget.
Gonna mean the Auskick kids get biodegradable water bottles and grassroots footy get 1 less umpire.
Dimma may save the planet. Earth Man?
Taranto and Hopper came to the Richmond Football Club, not Dimmas House of Coaching.
The roar of the crowd, the history of champions, the champions in the changerooms, the culture of the club.
Nome of that disappears.
I'd guess that Dimma mightve said "we will do everything we can to give the best environment for you .... oh and win a flag or 3."
Timmy and Jacob havent been shortchanged
Quite possibly. But have some integrity. Take 12 months off, take a genuine rest if you're burned out.
I see this going the way of a certain super coach and St Kilda. Hiring someone who thinks he's rested and ready to go again, and likely to get very frustrated when it gets hard. They have a culture to fix, not just games to win.
