Damien Hardwick

Humpinginthehubwick looking more than fake noise that he's after Daniel Rioli.

If it's true, its reflecting poorly upon him and his actions which have nigh on help cripple the RFC

They don’t hold up under pressure and they don’t work away from home.

Get ready for the AFL to schedule all Suns away games against Marvel home clubs to be played at the MCG and for Richmond to make up the shortfall in the dump games

Tom Morris loved it did he?
Was it misogynistic and homophobic?
He loved Dimma's contrived use of a naughty word? He is very easily pleased. Dunno what is more pathetic, the naughty word in a contrived attempt to shock, or this clown saying he loved it.

He wouldn’t have if Hardwick was still coaching Richmond.

You can tell he doesn’t coach Richmond anymore….

DIMMA F-BOMB ESCAPE

The AFL is unlikely to issue coach Damien Hardwick with a “please explain” for his dramatic post-match
f-bomb the Suns’ loss to North Melbourne.
Gold Coast has been told by the AFL it is unlikely to take action on Hardwick’s press-conference f-bomb after its Saturday defeat.
The league will discuss any action on Monday but Hardwick’s immediate contrition and the fact his language was directed at his own club will help his case.
“I’m angry, to be fair,’’ he said. “As a footy club, we’ve got to grow the f--- up, to be perfectly honest Excuse the language.”

There you go. Obvious from the start. You can't fine your yes man.

I have a different take on this. Dimma was clearly cooked when he left Richmond, and his behaviour was erratic. He obviously struggled to deal with the fall post our era, and all the rumours about him being challenged by the players about his authenticity post his split/divorce must have impacted him.

I think he was right to leave the club and to take time off. I think he has made the mistake of not stepping away for at least a full year. AFL coaching is a pretty brutal job.

His outburst still shows signs of mental fatigue (illness?). Very unprofessional and out of line.

Dimma will always be my hero, and I am sad to see this unfold. It wouldn't surprise me to see his time at the Gold Coast end abruptly and in tears.

What I will say is that it was clearly intentional by Dimma to try and put a rocket up his toys, sorry, boys.

If they go on to success it'll be labelled a master stroke, if they continue mediocrity then he,ll be labelled as being out of control.

A shrewd move in my mind… probably said behind closed doors, but messages not being heeded… put in public and heat on playing group. Not dissimilar to “big boy month” commentary
